Coke Machine Robot Vending Machine Red: Now Subtitled!

June 30th, 2007 by James

Vending Machine Red, the bizarre coke machine robot whose videos we featured before, has gone international! It seems that the folks behind the videos have decided to upload English-subtitled versions of Vending Machine Red to YouTube. Unfortunately, the marketing team behind Vending Machine Red didn’t feel like they needed to hire a native English speaker to do their translation work, since the English is awkward and doesn’t necessarily reflect the Japanese being spoken. Oh well, it’s still cool:

Episode 1: Walking the streets

Episode 2: Meeting other vending machines

Episode 3: Reading the newspaper

Episode 4: Facing security at the national diet building

Episode 5: A Coca-Cola Zero version of Vending Machine Red appears!

Episode 6: Coke Zero vs. Saigo Takamori

Episode 7: Dancing with otaku in Akihbara

I actually feel that the poorly translated subtitles add to the appeal!
