The Wonderful Yet Bizarre Japanese Retro Futurism (pt. 2)

[@loopernoodling]

The Japanese text on the classroom pic says 'Con Pu-taa Gakko'; Computer School!

Thanks a lot for this update on Japan's yesterday's future!

[@watchman0062]

Just wanted to say that I love this channel and beg you to not give up on it anytime soon! I adore this type of content and hope that the video about 80s retro futurism will come out soon and so on.

[@Rafaga777]

Great video. Much appreciated.

[@livewellherenow]

Cool.

[@rolloxra670]

60s-80s retrofuturism is so cool

6:58 enclosed lifeboats like those DO exist and have for some time now, although they are still launched from the deck not from inside the ship. FYI the lifeboats themselves were not the problem on the Titanic, it was the lack of sufficient numbers of them and the poor procedures for loading them that cost lives.

One word TARTARIA TECHNOLOGY

[@drewjohnson-85]

You know I’m pretty sure some of this stuff made it’s way into Japanese science fiction

[@stickynorth]

I love any monorail concepts but especially those with self-balancing gyroscopic capabilities or huge roller wheels like what was shown here and previously on a Soviet monorail train!

[@AmigaA-or2hj]

Some of the illustrations remind me of the “Terran Trade Authority.”

[@vulpo]

I don't think modern lifeboats are too far off from 6:33.

[@mattelder1971]

Yeah, many large ones are virtually identical to the ones pictured.

That classroom set-up needs to be applied throughout the USA.

As insane as the recent Chinese "drive over traffic bus" was, I notice that the older Japanese "Dinosaur Truck" design is a *lot* higher and would likely clear all but the largest vehicles... LOL

[@VickiCampbell-1216]

Very interesting. I loved the Chinese, over-traffic bus. It's a shame it couldn't have a hydraulic system to raise the legs to move through traffic. I'm no engineer, but would that have worked? Here's a "retrofuture" video of what Disney's future concepts looked like if anyone is interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnq7iKqubLF9kK8

[@CoPoint]

Lifting by hydraulics would be possible, sure, but why complicate things unnecessarily? Just make the thing high enough to go over any normal sized truck (there's a height limit for those...), *as the Japanese version **_decades before_** already was* 🤷‍♂, and be done with the problem once and for all 😁 - no, seriously, how did the Chinese manage to screw that point up so badly? They already had the necessary height _in their own project renderings_ 🤦‍♂... (But granted, the way some Chinese trucks get loaded, with stuff stacked on double the officially 'allowed' height, and almost double the width of the truck, leaning far enough to be _that_ close to tipping over at the least provocation, even that may not have helped much 🤭...)

[@grearad4097]

OMG, Maiorianus, is that you????

[@ramacandra4554]

1:45 Monorail driven by Hitler.

[@mattelder1971]

3:18 some companies seem to be reviving this concept: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gICad62NZ7Fsm5Y edit: oops, just watched the next segment.
