Alright, I am, but you probably already knew that. As an outsider I am fascinated with their culture and trends. It basically goes back to a love for giant monsters and robots that I've held since I was a child, but the square watermelons, tentacle porn, and vending machines that sell the used underwear of schoolgirls are interesting to read about as well. I say read because I've never eaten square watermelon, purchased used underwear, or viewed tentacle porn, nor do I ever intend on doing the last two. Just putting that on the record.
Living in America, I only get about a third of the crazy Japanese shit released here. Last week I was blessed with such a gift when Capcom's Bayonetta landed in Walmarts across the country.
The premise of the game is simple; You're an ultra hot chick who kills demons or whatever. I never gathered the real story to the game because it's told in the traditional convo-fuck-luded style of Japanese storytelling. It's like trying to watch The Matrix Revolutions without seeing the first two. It's almost incomprehensible besides the gratuitous violence and sex.
I wanted to put up the American commercial, but I can't seem to find it on YouTube, so to further confuse everyone here's a Japanese commercial for it;
Confusing right? That's the reason I want to go to Japan. It's all for their drugs and employment opportunities. Some group of Japanese men did whatever substance they do across the Pacific and did nothing but play Devil May Cry and watch Who's Nailin' Paylin while they were high and made a video game as a result. If they can do that and be successfully employed than god dammit I can too.
Seriously;
It's not just a cosmetic thing either. Watch the trailer, she's more Palin that you'd think. She loves guns, hunts giant creatures, and like all Republicans, appears to be a closeted dominatrix.
Yep, those Japanese know definitely know their shit.
