Odd Vaguely Anime Related Movie Trailer

While not directly related to anime, the low budget independent action/parody film Robot Bastard has made its American and Japanese trailers available online. The Japanese trailer, complete with excessive distinctly Japanese anime and 1970s Japanese sentai hero show references, should be especially appealing to anime fans with a sense of humor or an appreciation for pop culture history. Please be aware that the trailer does contain some graphic violence and may not be suitable for all viewers.

Robot Bastard is the latest work by Rob Schrab, perhaps better known for his comic book and video game Scud the Disposeable Assassin, assisted by Earthworm Jim creator Doug TenNaple and Joel Hodgson of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Comics2Film has published an interview with Schrab discussing the background of the short film and its possible future.
