I really liked BR... Unfortunatelly, it seems that the sequel is far from being good :-( Reviews in Japan have been mixed... it got a reasonably long write-up in one of the English-language papers about two weeks back, and the writer admitted that he wasn't sure if there was anything to the movie other than a bunch of dismemberment. My Japanese isn't good enough to make it worth my while to see it, and the only people I know who have seen it are teenaged girls who were all pretty squeamish about it after the fact. (Why they went to see it in the first place is sort of beyond me, except that summer holidays have started and they were probably looking for anything to do that didn't involve studying.)
Oh, and about those shrimp guys: I had a friend read the name of the group for me last night, and it really does translate as "autopsy report of drowned shrimp". If the videogame sound effects that appear in almost every TV program here could somehow find their way into everyday life, this country would be better than drugs 24 hours a day. -me
