Detriot Metal City OAV – TAF08 trailer

Uploaded by saueki

This looks a very good capturing of the art style, similar to how well Sexy Commando and Cromartie were animated. I wonder who is directing, as it would be an ideal project for Akitaro Daichi’s comic timing. Detroit Metal City as a whole really needs a proper English release, the parodies of heavy metal and aspects of the music industry are pretty much familiar wherever in the world you are. Hopefully the live action film might be the thing to kick start it Tokyopop or Dark Horse’s interest (I don’t think anyone else has licensed Young Animal titles – am I wrong?). Sharing a star with the live action Death Note has brought the live action film onto world cinema sites radar, so a US release seems a definite possibility.
