Houston-based anime distributor Section23 Films and Sentai Filmworks have detailed the
Complete Collection Blu-ray release of
Detroit Metal City Produced by Studio 4°C and directed by Hiroshi Nagahama, the 12-OVA anime streets on December 16th.
Synopsis: Get ready for the ear-splittingest, skull-smashingest band to ever assault your senses! Led by phallus-waving terrorist-from-hell Johannes Krauser II (guitar/vocals,) and given pulsing, throbbing life by indestructible drummer Camus and bassist Alexander Jagi, they're Detroit Metal City, the hottest ticket on the concert circuit! There's just one catch. That "hottest ticket" is just a meal ticket, and beneath the makeup these ultimate headbangers are hired doppelgangers who don't even like what they do.
Jaggi is actually Wada, who wants to play Glam Rock, Camus is Nishida, an anime fan with an appalling weakness for curry and NSFW videos, and Krauser is - oh the shame - street-singing Soichi Negishi, whose dreams of singing happy pop seem hopelessly doomed by the success of his rage-fueled alter ego. Worse, he can't even tell anyone who Krauser is. Not even the girl he likes, who hates DMC. Will rage against the corporate machine consume Negishi's tortured soul? Is there life after Death Metal? What's it like to put your head in a jet engine and turn UP the volume?
The Blu-ray release of
Detroit Metal City features 1080p video, lossless Japanese audio and English subtitles. (No English dub is available.) Extras include:
- Clean Opening Animation
