There's this manga I've been seeing on store shelves all over the place called King of Thorn. Every time I see it I think "hey that looks interesting, maybe I should buy it" but for some reason I never do. I think it's because while the opening scenario sounds great, I'm half convinced the actual execution wil spoil it.
And so it seems to have. Witness this trailer for the upcoming King of Thorn movie: intruiging sci-fi concept! Artsy shot of a petrified woman falling out of a building! It's not set in Japan!
And then they wake up and there are badly rendered monsters everywhere. The trailer also loses browny points for ripping off Evangelion: Death and Rebirth* and for the engrish ("What happened on Earth?" What indeed).
* Or Weevilgelion: Death^2X+3/ True Rebirth Super God Edition or whatever the hell version is the "definitive" one
