Oneechanbara: The Movie

I may not be a movie connoisseur, but I know what I like. And while Americans love to hate silly videogame-based movies, I love them. I'm the guy they make them for. I may be alone in this, but give me Dead or Alive over something like Cinderella Man any day.

It seems that my videogame movie prayers have been answered with the announcement of a new Oneechanbara movie. The Japanese budget hack-and-slash series starring a bikini-wearing, katana-wielding Japanese cowgirl has always raised eyebrows, but some seem more attracted to the game's promotional campaigns than the title itself. What better way to win them over than a pervy Japanese movie!

The movie was just announced during a Tokyo press conference, and it will star Eri Otoguro as Aya, idol Chise Nakamura Aya's imoto, and Manami Hashimoto as Reito. Kotaku says that this film will be screened at Shibuya Q-AX Cinema and Cinemart Shinjuku in April, before its full release.

Is this your kind of movie? Or are you one of those movie people?

It's amazing what an airbrush can do for a girl's looks.

The cowgirl (in photo 5) looks like she was photographed after a long night of drinking and being a punching bag.

I'll just wait for the inevitable japanese porn homage. You know that one will be out sooner rather than later.

Uhhh...I think you're insane for liking Dead or Alive, but this doesn't actually look that bad.

Do I want to see a hot bikini-clad chick tear apart zombies for a couple hours?

You bet your ass I do.

Honestly, I liked the Dead or Alive movie too, so this is right up my alley. Is it coming to the U.S.?

With a premise and a postergirl like that how could I refuse? Also, obligatory language nerdism: The movie's title means something like "Chop Lady," 'bara' being 'chop' and 'Oneechan' being a way to refer to a woman younger than you, kind of like saying "miss" I suppose.

I'll probably watch this since it appeals to my love of all things Japanese and zombies.

Just a thought: Out of all the animes I've watched, they always used Onee-chan as an honorific for a female who is OLDER than you.....

Anyway, DO WANT.
