Put This In The 'Too Strange To Make Up' File ... It's Hyung Rae Shim's Fish War!

So it's a faithfull translation of John Wyndham's "The Kraken Wakes"?

Somebody needs to produce this masterpiece. ROY LEE, are you reading this?!

Wow. What was the man on when he wrote that?

Speechless.
So are we Japanese villain or savior or what?

after seeing those clips of dwar and as ridiculous as that write up sounds i would LOVE to see this film made. it sounds like an instant classic to me.

This is now my favorite unproduced film, ever. SNAKES ON A PLANE, my ass. Prepare yourselves for....FIIIIIISH WAAAAAARRRRR!!!

I read something about this years back on Youngu Art's website - minus the gloriously metal poster. It's out there... way, way out there, and sadly there's nobody in the world insane enough to produce it. Then again, the sort-of-similar HAPPY FEET is now playing in a theatre near me, so who knows for sure? Done correctly, it could be worthwhile, and I'm not even being facetious.

Whether Yamamoto is a hero or a villain depends on whose point of view you think FISH WAR ought to be taking. The synopsis implies he's a hero. I prefer to think of him as a villain, though one worthy of respect, a great warrior fighting for humanity. You see, I think FISH WAR becomes a more interesting idea if it's entirely from the fish's point of view.

Imagine, for perspective, if you couldn't leave your home without the very real fear thet giant hooks and nets from the sky, controlled by murderous aliens who have demonstrated no qualms about using extreme chemical, nuclear, and biological weapons to repeatedly attack you without provocation, would scoop you up and pull you into the vacuum of space to meet either certain death and eventual consumption as food, or at best imprisonment in a tiny glass box for the rest of your life.

Shim Hyung-rae ought to consider making this as a 100% animated film - live action would pull you out of what could actually be an effective story of a civilization under endless and catastrophic siege, that finds itself finally prepared to strike back. And when all is said and done, the fish must emerge triumphant.

Rhythm-X

Your post remainds me in flashback of a 70's Japanese hit song
called"Oyoge Taiyaki Kun"「およげたいやきくん」
and the song sings exactly the kind of situation you described.
But I won't traslate them for you since life is more interesting with some mystery in the world left unsolved.

If this movie would've made the way Rhythm-X
described,is it gonna be like FORGOTTEN starring Jullian Moore with scale all over her?

Screw animation! That way it'd be just another slightly amusing anime. What's awesome about D-WAR is that it's such a silly story and the kind of thing you'd laugh at while drunk and watching Sci-Fi Channel. Except that D-WAR was made for $150 million and has reall sweet looking effects. That in and of itself makes it unique and not matter how terrible it'll turn out to be it'll be a cult movie anyway. FISHWAR should be made for $350 with effects by ILM and WETA DIGITAL. And with Mel Gibson playing a Japanese guy.
