GeekPress’s commentary on the Japanese invisibility cloak craze — “Granted, it doesn’t work quite as well as the One Ring of Sauron, but it doesn’t turn the wearer into a Nazgul either.” –reveals his youth. The obvious SciFi reference is, of course, the Romulan Bird of Prey, whose cloaking device was revealed in Star Trek (Original Series) way back in the late 1960s. [Further research reveals that the Romulan cloaking device was first revealed in episode 59, "The Enterprise Incident," which first aired 9/27/68.]
