Abe Hiroshi is cool, looks like the kind of film that wont have english subtitles on the dvd though, fingers crossed it does.
Too early to tell if this will be worth watching. Let's see the full length trailer.
I'd settle for a half-length trailer. That's barely even a teaser. The green dude looks promising, but not a hell of a lot else for me to take away from that brief viewing experience.
Same director as Trick and IGWP? Sign me up.
Abe Hiroshi rocks - just watch the Trick or Kekkon Dekinai Otoko dramas for proof. I'll be buying this even if I have to make wild guesses about the dialogue.
