The first time I actually got to know about this show named "Detriot Metal City", was when I was at Kinokuniya at Liang Court many months ago. I think then the movie was just showing in Japan, there was a TV at Kino showing the trailer for the movie.
On first sight I thought the trailer looks very very funny and interesting lol! And somehow I got drawn to the storyline / background, mainly due to the "metal", "gothic", "cosplay" theme. After that, I tried to google for the movie, and realized it was spun off a manga / anime (why am I not surprised? haha!) Couldn't find the movie, so I settled for watching the anime online instead. Crunchyroll still had it then.... but I think they removed the streaming videos by now. (If anyone is interested, can go to anilinkz.com to watch it)
The anime is one of the most vulgar, yet funniest and amusing anime I've ever watched. I was cursing when I realised there were so few episodes and I had reached the end of the anime so soon. =\ Soichi is hilarious with his penis-shaped hairstyle, and when he sings his overly "sweet" "AMAI" song LOL! Krauser is so cool and funny, I think he is like the epic parody of all things metal and gothic. The middle-aged uncle who plays the masochist pig (buta) was kinda interesting in the story. But I love the Record President the most. Everytime she opens her gab to speak, its always that line... "F***! It made my c*** f***ing wet!". She's very cool and hilarious hahaha...
You know, even someone like me, who used to be so into these metal/rock/j-rock stuff wouldn't get offended by this anime, even though it is so satire. And that is where I think this anime really wins :) (Must recommend this anime/movie to my fellow rocker friends, think they'll flip over their chairs from all the jokes. Hee~) Comparing the movie and the anime, although the movie was funny as well with the "L" guy playing Soichi / Krauser, I think I still preferred the anime. Hmm I guess its because the jokes and laughter didn't take so long for me to react to *shrugs* Maybe I'm just too "stunned" after half a day at work to feel like laughing in the middle of a weekday haha! XD (omg has my life come down to this?)
Since DMC is so music-based, I've uploaded 3 songs which were my favourite from the OST. Satsugai (the chorus is too catchy), Fuckingham (the one will Jack Ill Dark) and one which was surprisingly electronic (Mesu Buta Koukyoukyoku 'Female Pig Symphony'). Actually the rest of the songs in the OST are nice too! But I think I'll spare everyone from having to listen to an entire metal album with vulgarities while reading my blog lol! =p (If you're really interested, I'll send the album over on msn ;) Just let me know!) Death Records Banzai~
