A middle-aged slacker living in a rundown, graffiti-ridden slum, Daisato’s job involves being shocked by bolts of electricity that transform him into a stocky, stick-wielding giant several stories high who is entrusted with defending Japan from a host of bizarre monsters. But while his predecessors were national heroes, he is a pariah among the citizens he protects, who bitterly complain about the noise and destruction of property he causes. And Daisato has his own problems -an agent insistent on branding him with sponsor advertisements, an Alzheimer-afflicted grandfather who transforms into a giant in dirty underwear, and a family who is embarrassed by his often cowardly exploits. A wickedly deadpan spin on the giant Japanese superhero, BIG MAN JAPAN is an outrageous portrait of a pathetic but truly unique hero.

The ArcAttack! crew electrifies the shit out of that song.
Thanks to Peter Jackson’s Weta Workship, this woman has made the movie Splash come to real life. She lost both of her legs to the knee when she was a child, and Weta went and made her a mermaid prosthesis. Which makes me wonder, can she squeal like a dolphin at the right pitch to shatter TVs? She better watch out for Eugene Levy, too, that dude hates mermaids.
Oh. Your. Gawd. Anime/manga conventions (like Katsucon) should have better standards than this. Sweet merciful balls, why doesn’t her face move? She isn’t blinking. She keeps licking her lips. She must want me. Bad.
These guys win the award for the most creative way to shatter the back window of a car. Other than the time their parents were rutting in the backseat after dousing their reproductive organs in toxic waste, microwaving them, then throwing a voodoo hoodoo curse on their future children to grow up and become retards who decide to bowl from a moving car and record it.
The 1980’s called, Mr. Van Dammage, and they want you back because your dancing was gay fruity FABUUULOUUUUS!
