 | | Kaiju Big Battel - More Better Fighto Vol. 1 |
Dear Kaiju,
Thanks. I mean it. Thanks a lot. This is exactly what this guy living in the middle of the US needed. Seeing as you don't bring your traveling circus of foam-clad warriors to the Midwest, this is as close as I may ever come to the action and the mayhem. And this latest DVD really lives up to its name… because… there are a lot more fights.
With the Shocking Truth DVD last year you hooked me. I was impressed and amused. But, to be honest, there was something lacking. I pined for more full matches. The clips you provided of fights within the DVD got me interested… and the bonus feature full length fights (sans commentary) helped fill that void a little, but it just didn't seem the same. Sure, it was nice to see a match from beginning to end, but it just didn't have that 'Pow!' I was hoping for.
But look at you. Look at what you've done. It's like you've read my mind. Not only did you give me nine (yes, NINE) epic battles, but you've iced them off with full commentating by Louden and that nerd Beav, little pop up facts, and tons of little extras that make Kaiju so great. While I was a completely sober 28-year-old sitting on a couch taking this all in, I enjoyed your action packed DVD as if I was an eight-year-old again, watching Hulk Hogan on Saturday morning.
So thank you, masterminds behind Kaiju. Thanks for taking what was surely a joke developed by possibly drunk friends and turning it into a reality. A sort of surreal, Asian monster movie fueled reality, but that's about all the reality I can handle these days. Dudes dressed up as fictitious characters in Gwar-esc costumes that WRESTLE EACH OTHER?!?! Come on, what's better than that?
Anyway, thanks again. You make me laugh, you make me cry (I weep for Call Me Kevin), you make be glad to own a DVD player. You also make me proud to be an American… as odd as that may seem.
XOXO,
Jake
