Based on its placement in her body, it's probably to separate the waste products in the food she eats to excrete later, just like an organic digestive tract does. Either that, or it's to mask the smell when she needs to release a buildup of "excess methane".

In other languages, it sometimes says 'emotional programming' or 'emotional system'. I think it is just referring to the fact that it is unusual to see a cyborg being so emotional.

But I find it weird to call it 'programming', since I think it was said before that their human brains were kept. Why would it need programming, if the brain already provides the emotions?

>Why would it need programming, if the brain already provides the emotions?
The program might deal with physical output for the brain's emotional inputs. It probably would require some sophisticated software to replicate human emotional outputs likie crying when sad, trembling when afraid, and so on. It might also have to interface with the brain to ensure it feels the somatic components of emotion, like that sense of something weighing on your back when you feel a sense of dread.

If that's all true, though, being a cyborg sounds like a way shittier deal than staying human or going the genetic modification route, since most cyborgs apparently have gimped emotional outputs.

Robots are built without breasts for a variety of reasons, primarily because breasts are not necessary for a robot's functionality and are a feature specific to human females. The decision to include or exclude specific human-like features, like breasts, often comes down to design choices, intended use, and the overall aesthetic goals of the robot's creators.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Functionality: Robots are designed to perform specific tasks. Unless the robot's function explicitly requires a female-presenting body (which is rare), there's no functional reason to include breasts.
Technical Challenges: Creating a realistic and functional female form, including the complexities of breast movement and shape, can be technically challenging and may not be a priority for all robotic applications.
Design Choices: Many robots are designed to be machine-like or gender-neutral. The inclusion of breasts would be a deliberate design choice that might not align with the intended purpose or aesthetic.
Human Perception: While some humans may perceive robots with breasts as more appealing or human-like, this is a subjective preference and not a universal requirement for robot design, according to a study from HRILab Tufts. Some research indicates that people tend to assign gender to robots regardless of their physical features, according to a study from HRILab Tufts.

Yeah, it's strange. additional material said that their brains were preserved in the machine bodies, so in theory they shouldn't need additional programming for emotions, unless when they say that the brain was preserved, they actually just mean something like a digital copy of the brain, like in SOMA, or maybe something like Shimeji Simulation.

Maybe it's just me but I don't find the use of the word "program" weird, in English or in Japanese. The expensive part of Makina's face isn't her hardware. It's the software that interprets her emotions and converts them to an image on that screen.

you know, one thing I'm disappointed about this series is the lack of different species. The original short made it seem larger than life, with a robot and a seemingly alien girl being the protagonists.
But when we expanded the cast, we got...another alien girl, an alien boy, a human girl and two cyborg guys.(and all the "aliens" are just genetically modified humans, and the robots are just highly advanced cyborgs)

That's type 1 diabetes, type 2 is more common and is a result of your body losing its ability to properly use insulin.

It causes you to pee because your liver starts filtering out the excess sugar.

Word of god is that she has a human frontal cortex so she's actually a no-ganic cyborg. Judging from the mugshots earlier she must have had some kind of horrible accident and had to go full cyborg at a young age. Her first body in the earliest shot didn't even have a "face" just a box with a camera lens for a head. Of course her current face isn;t really a face either, it's just for social interaction. I imagine her actual perception is via sensor fusion and a sensory abstraction software layer between the hardware and her organics.

And yes I am overthinking this but I'm a cyberpunk nerd so I can't help it.

Also Chiharu and the others aren't aliens they're genetically upgraded humans. Notice they can survive in a vacuum while the female cop needs a spacesuit, Judging by how compact it is they've perfected mechanical counterpressure suits so all they need is a pressurized helmet (this is a technology NASA has been working on since the 1970's btw)

A brain in isolation without hormones from the rest of the body is going to be "emotionally flat" that's why. Also depending on how much of the brain is kept it might be even more extreme than that e.g. if you only keep the frontal cortex and replace the rest with ฬถsฬถuฬถpฬถeฬถrฬถiฬถoฬถrฬถ ฬถhฬถoฬถlฬถyฬถ ฬถsฬถtฬถeฬถeฬถlฬถ ฬถpฬถrฬถaฬถiฬถsฬถeฬถ ฬถtฬถhฬถeฬถ ฬถOฬถmฬถnฬถiฬถsฬถsฬถiฬถaฬถhฬถ cyberware.

Ever heard of a mechanical counterpressure spacesuit? It's an alternative to a sealed in flatable suid that uses mchanical pressure to kep human flesh from expanding in a vacuum. Human skin is gas tight so there is no need for a perfect seal and only the helmet needs to be pressurized.

NASA is working on this tech right now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_counterpressure_suit

Progress has been slow for the same reason all space tech progress is slow, massive gravy train that wants to keep things complicated and expensive. Half billion dollar pressurized suits are highly profitable and a cheap simple easily manufactured suit would ruin all that so as many roadblocks as possible are thrown in the way of development.

We should be way WAY further along that current space technology currently is but profiteering as always ruins everything.

I think that this ep was a waste of time. It doesn't advance the plot. It doesn't advance them through the cars. The boys just preen. The girls change a part of Machina, and it doesn't help them clean the cars or stop the train. Machina wasn't struck by even one electro-dart. If she had been, the filter could have been damage from that. the filter problem comes out of nowhere, for no reason other than that the writer doesn't have a normal setting to do X to Machina in, or talk about the shrimp tail story. This ep was something that should have happened elsewhere like the opener in a sequel, or should have been saved for later.

It's another collab.
I must say, they make sure you know who their sponsors are

Oh maybe it is official then, I noticed it was a different account to the subway episodes but maybe it's the creators personal account

I like to think they got deployed to an actual war but had the realistic experience of sitting around guarding a base the entire time without seeing a single enemy.

>Even today people talk about โ€œthe bitter cold of outer spaceโ€โ€”but space is vacuum and if vacuum were cold, how could a Thermos jug keep hot coffee hot? Vacuum is nothingโ€”it has no temperature; it just insulates.
>Three-fourths of your food turns into heatโ€”a lot of heat, enough each day to melt fifty pounds of ice and more. Sounds preposterous, doesnโ€™t it? But when you have a roaring fire in the furnace, you are cooling your body; even in the winter you keep a room about thirty degrees cooler than your body. When you turn up a furnaceโ€™s thermostat, you are picking a more comfortable rate for cooling. Your body makes so much heat you have to get rid of it, exactly as you have to cool a carโ€™s engine.
>Of course, if you do it too fast, say in a sub-zero wind, you can freezeโ€”but the usual problem in a space suit is to keep from being boiled like a lobster. Youโ€™ve got vacuum all around you and itโ€™s hard to get rid of heat.
>Some radiates away but not enough, and if you are in sunlight, you pick up still moreโ€”this is why space ships are polished like mirrors.

-Exerpt from "Have Spacesuit-Will Travel" by Robert A. Heinlein, who studied aeronautical engineering at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis

Well, at least it somewhat developed the characters a bit. It was a Kanata episode, served to talk a bit more about him, that he feels like he is useless, and is kept around for no reason, but also that he is good with machines.

But yeah, nothing too crazy happened, but maybe next episode will dive further on this, making him feel more useful by having him fixing some broken machinery or something.

yeah, I said "maybe in the absolute void" because I forgot whether or not a vacuum had a temperature
