The Oneechanbara movie continues to be our favorite upcoming import-only movie based on an import-only game about girls in bikinis slaughtering zombies. It's a big genre, but we think we can say this with some certainty.
Even so, this latest trailer raises some concerns about the movie. Specifically, why the CG blood? It would actually cost more than the normal goop used in movies, and the producers didn't quite spend enough to ensure that it didn't totally look ridiculous. Oh, that reminds us -- WARNING: This video features blood, sort of, and may not be suitable for children sensitive to the sight of computer-generated Jell-O.
[Thanks, zizzy!]

Zatoichi used digital blood in the 2003 film as well. It's the new thing, it's all over the place. Those wacky Japanese filmakers love them some cgi blood. Makes the violent scenes easier to choreograph.

Well, it's actually cheaper this way... there looks to be a ton of blood, and you would have to hire people to specifially coordinate the goop-blood in each scene and you would have to pay for all the goop, and pay for clean-up, etc.
Plus, this blood looks hilarious. I hope this turns out to be an enjoyable cheesy over-the-top movie (as it appears to be)
*waits for torrent*

Blood? That's your concern?
How about some actual martial arts or swordsmanship skill display? That's where this trailer fails. None of those girls knows how to hold a sword, let alone use one.
