Twin Signal...
Scientific zeal and an ill-timed sneeze leads to Twin Signal...
In this, yet another, tale of scientific zeal run amok, Dr. Otoi builds a humanoid robot (Signal) to be a big brother for his grandson Nobuhiko. Naturally, an accident during the robot's programming causes it to transform into an absolutely adorable child whenever Nobuhiko sneezes. As it happens, Signal has a long lost older brother (Pulse - an earlier creation of the doctor) who turns out to have unresolved issues and a pair of razor sharp knives. There is more than a fair amount of humor, some cheesy fights and no blood or naughty bits. It's wasn't a complete waste of 90 minutes, but, it's not far off. I gave Twin Signal a 2 out of 5.
Robotics expert Dr. Otoi built Signal to be a powerful companion for his young grandson, Nobuhiko. However, a mishap during Signal's programming led to an unexpected glitch. Every time Nobuhiko sneezes, Signal transforms from a temperamental adult robot into an adorable, chocolate-loving little baby.
Despite this little problem, days are usually happy and fun around the Otoi household, where robots, people and animals live in harmony. Except for the occasional feud over house cleaning chores or the affections of the female robot Elara. everything is relatively peaceful.
However, one day Signal is attacked by Pulse, one the Doctor's previous creations and the prototype for Signal. Despite being critically nearsighted, Pulse is loaded down with weapons and has been reprogrammed by Dr. Otoi's mysterious rival. He's on a mission to steal the most recent robot technology, and obliterate anything that gets in his way.
