Title: You MUST WATCH Detroit Metal City!
Post by: bork on September 13, 2008, 10:51:31 AM: Detroit Metal City is a gag comic from Japan about a college graduate who dreams of hitting it big as a musician. He wants to play down-to-earth love songs, but instead has somehow been roped into becoming the frontman for a hardcore metal band who wears costumes and heavy make-up, giving them a modern-day KISS-like appearance (Gene Simmons is in the live-action movie, as a matter of fact!). Their songs consists of lyrics like "kill everyone," "rape rape rape rape rape," and of course "I killed my parents and then raped them." You get the picture. Anyway, the story follows this singer and his dual lifestyle; the guy is a total pussy but somehow can transform himself into this satanic-psychotic-sicko when on stage, and all the wackiness that follows dealing with his double identity.. It's side-splitting stuff, and recommended for EVERYONE, whether you typically like anime or not. It is not conventional by any means. The episodes are only 12 minutes long, so it's quick viewing.

Anime trailer. There are currently four episodes out subbed.

Live-action movie trailer. Skip to 1:06 to hear the greatest song ever recorded.

[youtube=425,350]bcu8W-3XjjM[/youtube]

My favorite secondary character is the band's manager; a blonde-haired woman who routinely adds "shit" and "fuck" to end of every sentence and bases good or bad music on how wet she gets when she hears it. Definitely one for the kids!

Post by: cool breeze on September 13, 2008, 11:08:59 AM: The Anime is amazing and I can hopefully see the movie one day. I thought about checking out the manga, but the voices and music help so much with the other two.
Title: Re: You MUST WATCH Detroit Metal City!
Post by: bork on September 13, 2008, 12:41:23 PM: Yeah, I flipped through the comic briefly at a bookstore, but the lack of furigana made it hard to follow. Still, it looked funny and then I saw the anime...and it was laffs laffs LAFFS!

Generally I tend to prefer the original manga versions to their anime adaptions, but I think this may follow Azumanga Daioh as one of the few times where it just works better in animated form, this time because of the audio like you said.

I read that some Hollywood studios are already making offers to remake the movie in English.

Post by: Joe Molotov on September 13, 2008, 06:15:08 PM: Already watching it. I liked the part when the cop was trying to arrest him, and he accidentally tripped and knocked the cop down and all his fans are like "OH YEAH, HE FUCKING TOOK THAT COP OUT!" and then the female cop grabs him and he falls on top of her and they're like "OH YEAH, HE'S RAPING HER IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!" :lol
Title: Re: You MUST WATCH Detroit Metal City!
Post by: bork on September 14, 2008, 11:17:17 AM: Saw the movie tonight! Good stuff, but I definitely like the anime version much more. The gags work better, plus being a movie they felt the need to add some sappy shit to the story to make it more "movie-like." The actors all did awesome jobs playing the characters though. The main guy NAILED it, but at times his reactions seemed too "animu" and cheesy. Guess that's what they wanted though since only he was reacting like that.

It's a play on the song Detroit Rock City by Kiss.

Title: Re: You MUST WATCH Detroit Metal City!
Post by: Joe Molotov on September 18, 2008, 08:13:57 PM: Gene Simmons has whored himself out a lot lately. I doubt he needs the money, although I'm sure he doesn't mind it. It's probably more for the attention.

I only said this in the OP. :'(

He has a very small cameo in the movie as the world's dominant metal singer, ultra-violent and his hit song is "Fuckingham Palace," in which the lyrics are "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK" and can be heard in the trailer. :lol

If you search Youtube, you can find him talking about how easy the cameo was to do; almost comes off like he is talking down to the entire cast, LOL.

Haha, just like it is here. There is this massive three-story bookstore in Kanazawa, and on the third floor near the girls' comics, a TV is a CRANKED and is BLASTING "fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck DETROIT...METAL...CITY" over and over again. :lol

Actually it's kind of surprising all of the raws aren't out there. The entire anime series has been released on DVD already. I am incredibly tempted to buy the set, even though it's like 14,000 yen.

I don't know when the anime series came out, but like I said before the whole thing is on DVD, so there should be a soundtrack out there too. The manga series is two years old already, although the sixth volume only recently came out. The creator moves so slow I guess.

Kinokuniya gets everything the same day it comes out in Japan, and they have a very large music section. It's either sold out or I didn't look hard enough.

Title: Re: You MUST WATCH Detroit Metal City!
Post by: bork on October 27, 2008, 02:19:00 AM: Well it's kind of hard for me to gauge this since there is basically ONE store in the entire prefecture that stocks everything new, but they have had the Krauser figures (and his bandmates) in stock for a little while now. It looks like they got re-released in September after the movie came out. What I can't find is the new Revoltech Street Fighter Ryu figure. Didn't see it anywhere, just the Street Fighter Online chick that no one would give a shit about.

Krauser isn't bullshit! Negishi actually becomes Krauser in those situations and loses control instead of fronting.

But it is the same thing in a sense. Really what makes Krauser...Krauser most of the time isn't so much what he does, but rather how his rabid fans see something dumb or a fuck-up he makes and then turn it into something completely different. :lol

Glad you got one; I was in Osaka today, and was going to let you know they are readily available in most stores and work out a trade if you needed. Revoltech line is going crazy, they've got so much available.

Title: Re: You MUST WATCH Detroit Metal City!
Post by: Joe Molotov on November 01, 2008, 01:34:50 PM: Seems legit. The places that have it for sale are places that don't normally sell bootlegs, and I've heard of the company Panorama that released it.
Title: Re: You MUST WATCH Detroit Metal City!
Post by: bork on November 01, 2008, 08:45:06 PM: LOL there is no way those are legit, and the English subs could be pretty bad. But if not I'd total order them anyway. Years back there was this Studio Ghibli DVD set that came out in HK that people swore up and down was legit and sites sold it...it looked very professionally-made, with great packaging. It was still a "bootleg."

The folks over at Anime on DVD are saying that Panorama is legit, and they should know. They're Nazi's when it comes to HK bootlegs.

Still not sure, though. I wish someone would just license DMC.
Title: Re: You MUST WATCH Detroit Metal City!
Post by: bork on November 02, 2008, 09:45:53 AM: Well maybe it's legit for HK. ;) I'd like to know what the video and subtitle quality is like.

BTW I was all over Akiba today and found DMC t-shirts, wrist straps, sandals, visors, and towels amongst the creepy cosplay floor section at Asobit City. I said :o. Didn't buy anything though...wanted a shirt really badly but like they're gonna have my size, LOLZ.

It's just a little less free on some people than others.

Post by: bork on November 07, 2008, 04:30:15 AM: Now you can go read the scantalated manga and wait for the live-action movie to be subbed. IT IS NOT YET OVER, FUCK!!!!!!!!!.

I liked the Jack/Krauser confrontation much better in the movie. Much, much funnier.
Title: Re: You MUST WATCH Detroit Metal City!
Post by: cool breeze on November 07, 2008, 11:50:47 AM: I'll probably download all the manga and start reading it while blasting the music from the anime in the background.

Post by: cool breeze on November 14, 2008, 02:34:41 AM: I've been listening this Tribute to Krauser album and it's pretty good stuff. It's basically remixes of other Japanese songs, except made to me more crazy. Like, one of the songs is that Kimura Kaela song from Ouendan 2. Another one is the intro of Beck by the Beat Crusaders.

the actual dvd rip is elsewhere

the only thing I've noticed so far is that they don't battle the female band. That was my favorite part of the anime.

There's a lot of stuff cut. Frankly the anime series is much better than the live action movie, but it's fun to watch nonetheless. The showdown with Jack at the end is better in the live version.
Title: Re: You MUST WATCH Detroit Metal City!
Post by: bork on February 26, 2009, 01:18:16 AM: Awesome, the subs work perfectly with the rip I got.

Is there any easy way to hardcode the subs? I have Handbrake; wonder if I can use that to make an Apple TV or PS3 version with subs?
Title: Re: You MUST WATCH Detroit Metal City!
Post by: cool breeze on February 26, 2009, 11:55:20 AM: the movie is pretty crappy compared to the anime

the ending showdown was pretty awesome tho
