Princess Robot Bubblegum Begins
Get it? Like Batman Begins? Oh, hell, I couldn’t think of a pithy article title. I just knew that anime lovers and haters seemed to enjoy the trailer for GTA IV‘s resident anime masterpiece Princess Robot Bubblegum, so I thought you’d enjoy watching the whole thing. Particularly if you’d like to watch it at about 200 x 100 pixels, since you’ll be viewing it in a very small portion of the YouTube video above for reasons that escape me. If you see a better copy later, let me know and I’ll swap them out. (Via AnimeVice)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
