Heroman and Cencoroll

What if there was an anime about America?

What if it was based on an idea by Stan Lee, the creator of Spiderman, but made entirely in Japan?

This would be that show. And it is epic. While at the convention in Tokyo I saw people carrying bags emblazoned with this around; little did I know it would premier on my birthday. But now I know. And knowing is half the battle.

I will also be screening Cencoroll, an nearly one-man effort about shape-changing blobby aliens best described as "glorious".

It asks the question, "What would happen if high school students had control of large, hungry, shape-changing aliens?" It also answers this question at reasonable length, involving automobiles, stapler guns, and puddings of unusual size.

Please, please come this weekend. This is prime stuff.

All this and Escaflowne (now in better quality), Barus & Holley 190 7PM Saturday. 無
