There is a trailer up on the Production IG website for the upcomming Mamoru Oshii masterpiece Tachiguishi Retsuden, done in a style seemingly similar to Avalon it appears to be quite entralling and weird to the upmost. I can't wait to check it out, there is also a good backstory on the Production IG website.

Immediately following the end of the World War II in 1945, or the 20th year of the Showa era, Tokyo was trying to emerge from the rubble. In a black market in one corner of Tokyo stood a flimsy tachigui soba (buckwheat noodle) place.

It was a funny time just before the closing. A man appeared at the threshold. "One Tsukimi (raw egg). With soba". This was none other than the legendary Fast Food Grifter, "Tsukimi" Ginji. His relentless "foul play" quietly initiates.

The time changes. In the midst of the first anti Japan-US Security Treaty movement (1960), the streets rumoured about "Ketsune Croquette" O-Gin, a beautiful Fast Food Grifter lady, who disappeared all of a sudden. Wandering the alleys in the years of skyrocketing economic growth was Crying Inumaru. Then came "Cold Tanuki" Masa, whose scandalous death made people aware of the presence of Fast Food Grifters within the Japanese society. "Gyudon" Ushigoro put an end to a major gyudon (beef and rice bowl) restaurant chain. And it is not possible not to mention "Hamburger" Tetsu, who shocked the entire American fast food industry.

Fast Food Grifters are the phantoms that rise and fall with the shifting diet-styles. They are the dissenting heroes that left their names on the dark side of dietary culture with their glare. Now their legend revives, strong as ever...
