RobiHachi
RobiHachi is a 12-episode Japanese anime television series produced by Studio Comet. The series aired from April 8 to June 24, 2019. The storyline is futurist but alludes to the story of Tōkaidōchū Hizakurige. The comically silly and purposely lame Hizakuriger robot (named after the Tōkaidō story) makes its appearance, a reimagining of the "long forgotten" 1970s era robot anime Chōgattai Majutsu Robo Ginguiser.
