Iguchi and Nishimura shooting Karate-Robo spin off short movie. Keeping in mind the fest cut is also the Int. cut (missing 20 min, including a sex scene) there will, once again, be a lot to look forward on DVD / BD.

Slighty spoilery but fucking kick ass trailer for Sushi Typhoon matsuri (AvN, Helldriver, Yakuza Weapon and Deadball being released in Tokyo's Cine Pathos as a four week run in July and August)

Deadball gets labeled as "Baseball-violence-youth-horror-splatter"

Lame cover + only DVD when both Happinet and Third Window Films are releasing BD...

Deadball review:
http://twitchfilm.com/reviews/2011/07/f ... review.php

"No gag is too extreme, no joke too tasteless for DEADBALL. This is a comedy by and for fans of the extreme Japanese splatter movement and it makes no excuses for that. And, yes, Tak sings."

+ on topic: loads of Sushi Typhoon matsuri coverage. All the filmmakers present... ninja Iguchi, fundoshi Nishimura, Maaku... lots of program, and even the bathrooms were covered in blood and bodyparts. Obviously the best party of the year.
