    A fun, charming effort that says an awful lot about some of the creepy people who watch anime. I wish it hadn't been split into two sections (live action/anime), though.

    In-jokes galore. For otaku only. F'reals. Don't try watching this unless even other anime otaku point at you and shout, "What a frakking otaku!" However, if you're in that teeny, tiny fangroup, you will be amused. Rental-worthy (otaku only).

    Great movie if you realize it's a farce and making fun of the company's own origins.
