EXTREME FAST FOOD WILDNESS

TACHIGUISHI RETSUDENMamoru Oshii is best known for GHOST IN THE SHELL 2, the mind-bending Japanese anime, but he's now abandoned the new flesh for quarter pounders in TACHIGUISHI RETSUDEN, a semi-anime about fast food freaks making their way in post-war Japan.

The animation style is wild and wooly and will be familiar to anyone whose eyes were blistered by MIND GAME, and the story sounds plenty weird (what on Earth is a "fast food grifter"). If you don't believe me, then take a look at the Flash embedded trailer on the official website and if your brain screams to be put out of its misery afterwards, don't blame me. I warned you.

This movie looks like it'll be GITS meets Tampopo. Sweet!

Of course, Goro Miyazaki didn't like it, but what does he know?

BTW, I put up a translation of another of Goro's obtuse blog posts on the MF site.
