[Updated with higher quality version of the trailer.]

Japan's patron saint of cheap cult comedy seems ready and poised to claim the crown as that nation's most prolific film maker from Takashi Miike. By my count Neko Rahmen Taisho is the third feature film from Calamari Wrestler director Minoru Kawasaki this year and while how he turns them out so quickly is obvious enough - they're cheap and the whole attraction is their goofy, slapped together energy - this third one looks likely to claim as much attention from his fans around the globe as did his previous, the loopy Monster X Strikes Back! Attack the G8 Summit!.

Titled Neko Rahmen Taisho the film is based on a manga about a little white cat running a ramen noodle shop and, true to form, the title character is played by a little white cat puppet. Who, at one point in the freshly released trailer, makes out with an actual cat that is something of a real life Japanese celebrity - an honorary train station master, adopted as a sort of mascot when the train system went fully automated. Hopefully we'll have a higher quality version of the trailer soon but the graininess seems only appropriate here. Check it below the break in the Twitch Player.
