Synopsis
After grandmother's death, father builds robot granny Washimo—slow yet faster than bullet train—to comfort grieving Hiyori.
Hiyori's grandmother died. To stop her crying all day and every day, Hiyori's father built a humanoid robot called Washimo, that looks like her granny, complete with dentures. It walks faster than a snail but slower than a rhinoceros beetle; in fact, however, it can outrun a bullet train. (Source: ANN)
