USA One Inch Holidays

Hello all - sorry for the lack of updates in the past 2 weeks. Technical glitches aren’t making life easy, and One Inch Punch is now taking another 2 weeks break to go on holiday!

However, there are now almost 800 posts on the site, so it might be a good time to go browsing through some categories you’re interested in.

Back posting actively soon - with a redesign planned!

Japanese Manga Film “Death Note” at London’s ICA

April 22nd, 2008

Popular Japanese Manga Film Death Note“, directed by Shusuke Kaneko will be shown at the ICA from this Friday for a few dates.

This spin-off from a best-selling Manga series is one of the biggest popular hits to emerge from Japan since the original Ring.

Deathnote

A must for fantasy fans and Goth-inclined teens, this chiller-thriller breathlessly follows the mayhem that ensues when law student Light is given a special book that can cause a person’s death just by writing their name in it.

Urged on by the Angel of Death (a memorable CGI creation), Light becomes a serial-killing vigilante and attracts the attention of a mysterious detective mastermind known only as L.

The 6.15 screening on Friday 25 will be introduced by Paul Gravett, director of the ICA’s Comica Festival.

Death Note performance days are: 25 - 30 Apr, 2 - 8, 10 - 15, 17 - 18 May 2008.

Japan’s Stupid Robot Contest

April 17th, 2008

More proof of Japan’s endearing eccentricity. Meiwa Electronics‘ annual Stupid Robot Contest is a place for inventors to showcase their stupidest inventions, as long as it follows three rules:

1. It must be mechanical
2. It must be completely useless from a societal point of view.
3. It must make people laugh.

This guy plays a flag game and falls down…
