I just caught the trailer. I didn't understand a word of it, but the images from the trailer look darned good. Sorta like a live-action anime.

If anyone here understands Japanese, read the site and tell us what the heck it's about!

Here's a couple reviews of the anime it is based on, which should give you a guide on the new movie...

There was a thread for the film in this section a couple of weeks ago...it looks like a really cool live action anime film.

It's a remake of the old "Robot Hunter Cassshan" which has been animated a couple of times. Basically this kid's father builds a robot which tries to take over the world and kill the human race, and then in remorse converts him into a cyborg [Casshan] to destroy the robot [the Black King]. Live-action versions of animations, and vice versa are not that rare... Anyone remember "The Guyver" with Mark Hammill[!]?

This looks a wee bit better than *puke* Hammil's Guyver.
