Angelic Layer spoiler 

It's sad that if we got real life Angelic Layer today it wouldn't be a secret plot to collect data to create better prosthetic limbs and restore mobility to paralyzed people. It would be a secret plot to collect data to sell more advertisements.

But this is all some kind of absurd pipe dream, of course. It's not like self-replicating material-producing carbon capture machines grow on trees
