This is coming from a film that also includes a penis cannon and a quad amputee with alternating katanas and machine guns in place of limbs...not exactly normal under any circumstances.

Basically...most of the Sushi Typhoon studio flicks are the Japanese equivalent of Troma - with a few dedicated directors (see also Meatball Machine, The Machine Girl, Hell Driver, Mutant Girl Squad, Robo-Geisha and a few others including Dead Sushi (still haven't seen)).

For Troma comparisons...you can consider "Tromeo and Juliet" (discussed here before), Class of Nuke'em High series, Pterodactyl Woman of Beverly Hills and others...the acting in the Japanese flicks may not be that much better...but I can give it a pass...plus IMO, the girls are cuter most of the time.


Most of the movies I've previously referenced/linked here have some really bizarre stuff, but as I've previously mentioned, most of my old megaupload links are long gone. Look through the thread if you want and ask, and I can probably re-upload to rapidshare.

Going through the thread, by the sounds of things I'd love it if you could re-upload everything that was posted lol.

I'll see what I can do when I get home in a couple weeks.

Thanks man!

I'm a few films behind, but haven't been tracking new stuff as much the last few months due to schedule/resources.

That said, we have some character posters for the upcoming Attack on Titan live action flick (summer 2015) - and given the potentially "weird" nature at least, I think it deserves a mention here.

First teaser for live-action AoT is up:

And first full AoT trailer: http://twitchfilm.com/2015/04/large-...n-trailer.html

Not sure yet how much I'll enjoy it after shotgunning the first anime season back in spring '14. Guess it depends how the characterizations work out - since they're obviously going for a fully Japanese cast as opposed to the mixed one from the show.
