Well I was about to watch my favorite anime (well the only anime I watch) called Bleach...After the intro I found out that it was a fake episode! But what the subbers (dattebayo) put in was intresting. If you remember back in your youth, there were comics about elaborate machines that preformed certain aspects. The setups in this google clip shows a magnetic ball being flung, rolled, among other things ...well just watch it...*hard to explain*. I'm glad someone finally put this video up on google. Enjoy.

Oh...and disreguard the little dance thing 3/4 into the clip...its a bit IQ lowering.

Oh lord.. you just made my night. I love things like that. I have no idea but I'm obsessed with chain reactions like that.

Wow... some people have too much spare time and know how to put it to good use.

Unlucky Slayer · Apr 14, 2006, 07:03 PM // 19:03

Hehe! Bleach is great! And being at school I couldnt use torrents so I couldnt see that fake episode!

Bah, grow up the lot of you. Real men watch Evangelion.

Ummm, just finished the video. I think life just lost all purpose. Damn you Japan!

Kinda reminds me of a honda ad I saw long ago. Apparantly it took them 606 tries to get it right, and I honestly don't doubt it did, lol.

Oh..... my..... goodness. That was amazing. I saw that Honda ad but that doesn't hold a candle to the marble video.

Rube Goldberg Machines.

The people who did the Honda advertisement ("Cog") cheated, it's not one single fluid motion from start to finish (edited to join two separate parts together due to lack of filming space).

wow, that was awesome

also, 10x more awesome with the sound muted.
And that dance thing is halarious in the fact it's so retarded and random D:

fake edit: glad to see I'm not the only one who the honda commercial came to mind.

My best guess is 'Itakura Shuichi', but meh, what do I know? x_x

See what the untrained ear gets you?
I can just imagine going to Japan, looking up a phrase, replying to it, only to find out I just answered to a totally differing thing than what I expected <_<

But I digress, sorry I'm useless in this matter

As a note about the movie, I was impressed by the sheer amount and variety of the machines, rather than any individual one, though it's plain to see the calculations, and possibly large amount of tries it took to get it down pat.

Particularly in the machines like the one where the ball falls into a tube with 2 open sides, and it weaves across books, back and forth, all while continuing to move forward, eventually falling down, and through the top end, after it slides just right.

Edit: Doh, typo.

GOD I hate anime music video intros. Otherwise it was cool.

ピタゴラ装置 (pitagora souchi), means Pythagorean Machine. I thank you

Ahh. Developed by "Masahiko Sato Laboratory", apparently.

In the US, we generally credit Rube Goldberg with those kinds of insane machines. Would never have thought of Pythagora in relation to it. But, that was all that was needed to get info about it.

Thank you.

Ah that makes sense now thanks

I like the little jingle pitagora souchi.

Those machines are great and I loved the Honda ad.
