Live-action manga-style Machinima begs the question: What else are we missing???

There's a noisy revolution going on over at the :sick: sims (teleport directly from here) and I've been stone deaf to it. That is, until today when Machinimator Masami Kuramoto introduced me to a whole scene... I mean this is just the tip of a gigantic iceberg that's been sitting over there; more like roaring over there... my gawd, here's a video that was added to youtube in June, 2007... and there are 13 others! After watching like the fourth vid, I shook my head and asked myself, "how did I miss it all?"

Take this manga inspired live-action superhero flick. It's loaded with tokusatsu and monsters, and it even has subtitles, for crying out loud. I googled it to see if anyone else in our English language world had uncovered this gem... and only one person had, that I could tell. Yep. That would be Torley Linden. We gotta listen to Torley more.

The intro credits feature a lot of English jibberish... but the real film begins at 1:17 minutes.



The main person behind this and other:sick: stuff: mk curtiz. More on him real soon, and the other people who surely deserve credit but I don't know any better.

So... what else are we missing 'cause we don't speak Japanese?

Great finds: Don't mess with the drill bit robot

Onakagoo Dibou's manga Drill Robo avatar (Doriru Robo) has its own dedicated space in a retail district on the Shimokitazawa region.



Occupying the entire center floor of the outlet, Drill Robo's arm has vanquished its first enemy... the roof!
