Not wanting Goms hard work to go to waste, as I emailed him after spotting theres a listing for a recently made Kekko Kamen movie turning up on R1 soon. I have see a couple of trailers for the distincly B-grade looking but still very tempting stuff. Recently there has been a resuregence in interest in making new films based on the work of Go Nagai, with ‘Cutey Honey’ being the one I am primarily looking out for a subtitled (official) disc of, plus “Devilman” and so on.

Here’s the details Gom dug up. Hoping we can get someone (maybe Media Blasters) to confirm what they’re releasing exactly. He says :

My understanding is that Media Blasters will be releasing all four of the movies in Art Port’s Mask of Kekkou (Kekkô Kamen) tetralogy. The four movies in Art Port’s Mask of Kekkou (Kekkô Kamen) tetralogy are Mask of Kekkou (Kekkô Kamen), Mask of Kekkou: The MGF Strikes Back (Kekkô Kamen : Mangurifon no gyakushû), Mask of Kekkou : Returns (Kekkô Kamen: ritânzu), and Mask of Kekkou :Surprise (Kekkô Kamen: surprise). Note that the English titles are the ones used in Japan; the “ou” at the end of “Kekkou” represents a long vowel (chôboin) ‘o’, as in “Toukyou” ("Tôkyô"). All four movies were directed by Takafumi Nagamine, and premièred in Japan in 2004.

Saw one of these and it was almost unwatchable. Words can’t describe how bad it is. You have to be a hardcore-trashfreak to like these.

I’ve seen the trailers, and that was enough for me.

It’s totally need more improvment, cause I’ve getin’ dizzy after seeing the trailer…
