May 31, 2005Koji Morimoto video archive
Not all of the links work but this is a nice selection of clips, trailers, promos and pilots showcasing Morimoto's unique style.
Check through these, they're worth the large file downloads even though the quality on some is not wonderfully clear like some of the DivX stuff around, but hey, I won't complain. I haven't even heard of some of these titles but hopefully one day stuff like this will make it around the dvd rental circuit for us all to enjoy. Some of you might remember Morimoto's work in the recent Animatrix series (his style is unmistakeable).
There's a new trailer for a series out called Eikyu Kazoku (Eternal Family) that looks pretty bizarro.
Trailer is here (download file, then play in RealPlayer).
Plot Summary: It started as a sociological experiment. 6 different people were brainwashed to think that they were a family and then put in arbitrary situations to see how they would react. However, when a taping of the families conducts is sold in a desperate attempt to make a little capital it instantly becomes a success. Now the family is a first rated show and their every move is broadcasted around the world without them knowing it. But when a clogged toilet sets off a chain of events that ultimately frees the family from the room they are confined in the broadcasters, not willing to lose their source of income, set out to hunt down and recapture every member of the Eternal family.
