WHO and WHAT
"Grandma's dead. But in her place Daddy made tearful schoolgirl Hiyori the Granddroid: WASIMO."
WASIMO
3/10 18:00 / NHK-E / 10 eps. / dir./writer Yasuhiro Imagawa / Studio DEEN
Yes, class, that is a portmanteau of Honda's ASIMO and old-person-speak for "me too". Yes, class, it is written and directed by the man who brought you Shin Mazinger and G Gundam. Yes, it's already over because we start our threads incredibly late.
It's reairing on NHK-E this Saturday and Sunday afternoon, so maybe I can see a few episodes.
