The same guy has done one called Gyo that's even more crazy - I'm saying walking fish, gas powered corpse robots, the lot.

I was just getting into the story, and it stopped, lol

We're all familiar with the gory side to Japanese culture, what with the horror movies - makes you wonder what they consider to be humour?

the one's where they have to crawl through tunnels of slimy creatures - I thought that was horror again, and when they're all laughing - there doesn't seem to be a distinction?
