With a title like Revenge of the Zebra Miniskirt Police, how can you not be curious? Coming as a spinoff project to Takashi Miike's Zebraman 2, well, that pretty much makes it a must.
Helmed by Nishiumi Kenichiro - Miike's assistant director on Zebraman 2 - Revenge of the Zebra Miniskirt Police is a straight to video spinoff featuring a trio of miniskirted support players from the main feature. Designed to whet the appetite for Zebraman 2 this one is likely to draw a good amount of attention on its own thanks to that outrageous title.
And for those who want a sample of what they're getting, the first trailer has just arrived online. The trailer video actually begins with a bit of behind the scenes footage - including a girl dancing in a bikini for no particular reason beyond the fact that this is a good thing to see on any given day - before getting into the trailer proper, so give it a moment to really get going.

Ah, that was awesome.
I don't suppose there's a big chance of getting an English friendly release?
It looks okayish I guess. Don't find any of them actually attractive in that get-up...
Y'know, I kinda wish they weren't doing this. On its own, it would probably be a fun bit of quirky trash, perfect for fans of such stuff. But Zebraman was something special, something whose quirk was a framework for a very human tale. I'm already a little nervous about the sequel, and linking the sequel to this lowbrow exploitainment risks cheapening it - or doesn't inspire confidence in it. Probably the former, because despite my reservations, I can't actually imagine the Miike / Kudokan team screwing up.
