Western Slug (and, for the record, Nara actually *is* that full of deer)

This morning I was surfing, and discovered a post at gaijinguide about TokyoPunch, which looks like it will be an animation about this slug, a brit, in Japan. The trailer clearly takes place in Nara, which is in the Kansai region of Japan, so I’m not sure why it’s called TokyoPunch, but perhaps more will be revealed shortly.

Here’s the trailer I was talking about:

What was amazing was that… while I usually didn’t feel quite so out of place in Japan as this slug does (I wasn’t so put off by the lack of english, for example), this trailer pretty much captures exactly how I felt in Nara. (I, however, didn’t get stuck in the hole in that pillar — safely made it through.)

P.S. if you want to see that youtube video at a more reasonable quality, you should definitely go download Joey’s youtube in mp4 plugin and then watch the trailer again — it will be crispy and wonderful.
