Many of us have watched sci-fi (science fiction) films and read novels and comics from the same genre. Have you ever thought to yourself how the world will be like in the far future? Technology has improved a lot now, there are new tech gadgets being invented all the time, so who knows? Maybe one day we’ll be living like the Jetsons… or like the Will Smith movie “I, Robot”.

Now why do I talk about these? It’s because Animax Asia has produced the first ever original animation production (in high definition!) called “LaMB“. “LaMB”, based on an award-winning script by Filipino amateur writer Carmelo Juinio, is situated in the future on a harsh desert planet called Cerra. And on Cerra, they practice the idea of “recycling” so strongly that even hard-core criminals are “recycled” as slaves. These prisoners go through a process of “Lamination” where they become human ‘robots’. They can’t talk, they can’t make decisions on their own and they can only obey the commands by their masters or get electrocuted as punishment. And the worse thing? When the prisoners are ‘laminated’, they are preserved in a way for hundreds of years until released from their bodily prison.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you’re like a LaMB? Unable to speak nor express your feelings? LaMB is now asking you: “Have you ever felt you couldn’t speak up or express yourself like a LaMB?“.  Check out the contest page for more details!
