Total EngRish: The first purely ENGRISH film straight from Japan!

Yamato Damacy Extra 4 - Total English

The film above was the best 16 minutes I have ever had in recent memory. I was laughing all the way not just at the amazingly cute and funny ENGRISH, but at the whole premise as well as its ‘interesting’ production values. :D

There are so many elements to like about this video. There’s guns, sword fights, ninjas, a sports car, deaths, broken bones, girl to girl love and one wicked leading man with an excellent evil laugh to boot! Heck, the presentation of the film also pays homage to a certain American TV series that I personally like. Wait, it even has a song from Densha Otoko! Talk about paying homage! :D

Now after all said and done, it does sound pretty cool, doesnt it? So what is the film about, you ask?

“Well, the story is a coming of age story between two girls who are students in a Japanese Junior High School. They both love each other but there are others who oppose their ‘love’ with one another and finds ways in breaking them up. What happens next is an epic struggle in which the heroine has to protect her love from the ‘bad guys’ in various stages of confrontation. All this delivered using the best ENGRISH script ever!” :D


Why cant the lovers be left alone? :(


Well to be honest, I thought their spoken english was pretty good actually. Though it does sound a bit weird but conversationally, it was well understood. Maybe if they were to make more films like this, they’ll improve their conversational pronounciation by then. ;)

I also thought that the kids in this film were darn cute. I mean, you can see it on their face as to how much fun they really had making this film. They were smiling all the way in every frame, no matter how nefarious or omnimous the scene’s actual tone was.

In closing, I would also like to add that even though the love presented here is technically a form of ‘affectionate friendship love’ but I cant help view it as a form of lesbianism between them. Ah, young girls and their love for their best female friend’s. Such pure and innocent feelings. :)

Anyhow, do please enjoy the film!
