If you've been paying attention to Onechanbara, the series of bikini-clad, zombie slashing budget games, then you'll have noticed its rather absurd "Onechanbara TV" viral videos. They've been floating around the Internet for a while, but the latest is perhaps one of the most ludicrous videogame commercials I've ever seen. It's a music video in which zombies ask Asian girls to shag them.
Yeah.
Although the vulgar words are bleeped out, I'm still going to suggest that this might be slightly NSFW, because I think anybody can work out what's being said when a zombie is singing that he wants to spray *bleep* on an Asian girl's *bleep*. A publisher is seriously using this to promote a game. It's both brilliant and awful at the same time.
Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers and Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad are heading to the Wii and Xbox 360 respectively next month. I really, really cannot wait.

I think the in-game footage at the end of that showed a little Japanese girl kicking a giant green blobzombiemonster in the "groin". Right. I'm there, who's with me?
One of us may have had this pre-ordered for months... It might be me....
That said, I want some more hacky, slashy stylr action like DMC, so here's hoping for this and Bayonetta.
Somewhere, the collective ghost of 1990s game commercials is beaming with pride right now. (Though it's a lot handsomer than I seem to remember it... weird.)
You know, as someone whose teen years were almost entirely in the 1980s, there are a lot of things that I really, really miss about that awesome decade. Fucking lame music videos from guys who sound like they belong in Menudo is not one of those things that I miss.
After being married to a Japanese girl for 5.5 years [divorced at year 6], believe me when I say that they just want you to spray $$$ on their purses. Of course, that goes for 7/10 girls in general. *sulks*
