YesAsia Editorial Description
"Zebraman" is the latest film from cult favorite Miike Takashi (Audition, Dead or Alive, Ichi the Killer, Agitator, Happiness of the Katakuris).
This time, its the year 2010 in Yokohama, and something funny is going on. Animals are behaving oddly, and there are sightings of gigantic crab-like creatures throughout the city, but primary school teacher Ichikawa (V-cinema legend Aikawa Sho in the 100th film of his career) has too much on his mind to notice. His wife is stepping out on him, his daughter is a teenage prostitute, and his son is being bullied relentlessly at school. And on top of it all, Ichikawa is a lousy teacher and knows it. The only thing that gives him comfort is the fond memory of Zebraman, a superhero TV series broadcast in the 1970s and cancelled after seven episodes due to dismal ratings. One night, after Ichikawa has donned his homemade zebra suit, he hears something outside and goes to investigate. Out in the street he encounters a suspicious character, and a fight breaks out. As it turns out, his opponent is an alien, and soon the place is swarming with them, all occupying the bodies of their human hosts in a diabolical bid to take over the world. Will Ichikawa fail as usual, or has the time come for him to stand up and fight?
Billed as Miikes first family film, Zebraman is a funny, clever piece with its heart in the right place. With bits for the hardcore Miike fan as well as newbies, Zebraman is sure to please just about everybody.
