It’s so normal looking that I didn’t know it was special. It’s an electric bike and the water bottle is actually the battery.

I saw a store called “Once A Tree Furniture” on my way to a friend’s place today. That, my friend, is not a good name on so many levels.

If you don’t read Japanese I would just recommend visiting the gizmodo page. Apparently this is supposed to be the 1:1 scale model of the Scopedog mecha. Barring the supposedly 275mil 725mil budget for a real one this is probably the best thing we can have right now.  Although at 1:1, it feels a bit too… tiny(?!) compared to the anime version.
