r/tou already :(

Re: Really Bizarre Japanese Films (clips)
 

I mentioned the new Takashi Miike adaptation of the Yatterman anime once before in this thread (never posted any pics though).

A few trailers here - http://twitchfilm.net/news/2009/02/c...-yatterman.php

Really, if you've seen Hideaki Anno's live-action adaptation of "Cutie Honey" - you can imagine something kinda similar (CGI is a little tighter here)....but I'd say it's really a few notches higher on the weird scale. I guess part of what makes it really strange is that it's REALLY close to the original anime in terms of overall content and stylings from what I understand including really bizarre self-referential humor, weird adult jokes totally inappropriate for younger viewers (the anime was from the 70s), etc.

A selection of reviews here (http://twitchfilm.net/reviews/2009/0...-yatterman.php) - see the bottom of the first review for more links.

Of course, it's more than worth the $15 I paid to import the HK release (came out on 4/30) just for seeing the *smoking* Kyoko Fukada in a hot leather outfit for 95% of the entire movie (minus the scenes where she's either in a bath or a wedding gown ;p).

Keeping in mind of course that Kyoko was also one of the two lead actresses in the brilliantly well made and truly funny gothic lolita meets biker girl comedy "Kamikaze Girls" - I can't recommend that one enough!!!

No process in this flick :( - might rip the clip of the mecha bridesmaid firing "titty missiles" though ;p

Another one:

Gothic and Lolita Psycho

Two trailers: http://twitchfilm.net/news/2010/05/t...-psycho-tr.php

First one is the real one, second one is kinda a joke/spoof trailer.

Looks interesting (probably no process), but this is coming from the director who did Onechanbara (the Zombie Cowgirl one...which didn't review so well) - although effects are by guys from TGP and Machine Girl, etc.

Always nice to see more Gothic Lolita...like I said the only *mainstream* film I've seen so far is "Kamikaze Girls" - about to order the UK R2 2 disc set to accompany my HK version - but sadly, I don't think this is going to quite match that for overall quality.

Re: Really Bizarre Japanese Films (clips)
 

Doh! They removed both trailers!

Should be back to stay now.

Re: Really Bizarre Japanese Films (clips)
 

Man this is one of the stranger movies Kyoko-chan has been in. At least its not a love drama movie like she normally does. Shame she doesn't sing more (she plays the piano as her musical skill for her Idol status) cause she has a pretty singing voice.

Finally got around to watching "Air Doll".

Wow. Really a touching and melancholy film - and very good all the way through.

Only one real process scene - but it is a pretty cool one. Lots of great little scenes throughout the film showing the seams on her legs/arms/neck as well as the air valve in her belly button. Also some nice implications of transparency/thin skin, etc.

Highly recommend this movie overall - moving with some great elements.

Re: Really Bizarre Japanese Films (clips)
 

That was certainly unique. Thanks for uploading it. :)

Re: Really Bizarre Japanese Films (clips)
 

My favorite still has to be the chick turning into a chair. But the 'airdoll' is starting to become a nice second.

Re: Really Bizarre Japanese Films (clips)
 

Yes, the chair TF is still by far one of the most bizarre (and strangely hot) transformations I've ever seen. I doubt it'll ever be topped.

Re: Really Bizarre Japanese Films (clips)
 

Wait which one is that, I didn't see it in any of the links. O:

Re: Really Bizarre Japanese Films (clips)
 

Oh, that's from the movie "Tokyo!" but I don't believe it was actually posted in this thread.

I might be able to find it someplace though, or upload it if I can't.

edit: the scene was deleted from youtube so here's the upload.
