Detroit Metal City
i guess we can again use what we learnt from deathnote, the manga is always better than the anime which is better than the movie. so if u have either read the manga or watched the anime, time to lower some standards. anyways, you should just watch this without having any standards. and you ll have a fun time.
Detroit Metal City (whose name is based on KISS's detroit rock city), is story of shy kid, Negishi, a pop singer wannabe leading a double life as lead black metal singer, johannes krauser in the Black Metal Band, DMC! he hates what he has become. but yet DMC rises to fame as tokyo's powerhouse in the music industry.
the story is a little predictable. but funny dialog and live action impersonation of anime stereotypes are hilarious. Krauser's songs are a must have and shall be on my itunes soon enough. the acting is a solid A and Ken'ichi Matsuyama does an incredible job potraying BOTH Krauser and Negishi. gene simmons makes an appearance as jack ill dark and it's AWESOME to see him on the big screen, though he does not do the flicking tongue! aww....
DMC, Jack Ill Dark, Aikawa, Crazy Bitch Boss
things i didnt like: the bands lack of interaction. the short run time. only golden village is showing it (and stupid west mall). and the phrase "no music. no dream". fuck that!
