鈿欙笍 Initially, I wanted to call it a series, but it was simply a 35-minute adaptation of a part of the play "R.U.R." by the Czech writer Karel 膶apek. "R.U.R." stands for "Rossumovi Univerz谩ln铆 Roboti (Rossum's Universal Robots)" and was first staged in 1921. It's about humans who create robots (more closely related to the idea of "androids," "replicants" from Blade Runner, or "cylons" from Battlestar Galactica) that eventually rebel against their creators.
鈿欙笍 The most important thing is that in "R.U.R." the term "robot" was used for the first time.
