Tachiguishi

Not out of pure laziness but pretty much because I'm just worn out and out of time, I swiped this terrific review (via ÜberBlog) which alerts us to an upcoming new release from Mamoru Oshii (of Ghost In The Shell fame). Looks tremendously weird. I can't wait:

"Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell, Blood the Last Vampire) has completely lost his mind. What an excellent treat for us! Oshii has turned his focus to his life-time passion, an endless quest for the ultimate fast food that no one has ever explored before. The film, slated for release in Japan in Spring 2006, is based on the original novel written by Oshii himself and serialized between 2000 and 2003. Behold Tachiguishi! "Tachigui" literally means "standing and eating". It is a word that may find a rough English corresponding in the expression "fast food". Fast Food Grifters are the phantoms that rise and fall with the shifting diet-styles. They are the dissenting heroes that left their names on the dark side of dietary culture with their glare. Now their legend revives, strong as ever..."
