Nerima Daikon Brothers

[Foggle]

I heard about this anime from a few friends, who say it's incredibly funny. Apparently, it's by the same guy who directed the Excel Saga anime.

So, anyone seen it, and, if so, how good/funny would you say it is?

[Inkwolf]

I'm curious myself.  The trailers I've seen seemed awfully stupid...but it does have Nabeshin in it.  Too expensive to order for myself without knowing I'd like it, and too non-family-friendly to order for the library.

The Excel Saga anime was pretty stupid too, but that didn't stop it from being great.

[Inkwolf]

Yeah, but all the humor of NDB I've seen so far seems to be about daikons being phallic-shaped and one brother sleeping with a panda...

There's a lot more to it than that, or so I've heard.

And come on, it has people singing songs for Nabeshin's enjoyment.

After seeing a few episodes (my friend loaned me the first disc), I can safely say that this show is indeed very funny.  I'll admit, I was slightly skeptical after seeing the godawful and intensely unfunny previews, but the actual show is great.

It's not rape, it's surprise sex!

Thats funny!

I need to see this anime!

That's not from the anime, I just decided to make it my personal text.

[FullmetalExcel]

I know.

[Foggle]

You can't convince me that this isn't awesome.

[HA1L ILPALLAZZO]

yes what a series can't wait till it's released over here

[Foggle]

Proof that NDB is the best anime of all time.

Looks like I will finally get to see this, though not till July or so...what with one thing and another, I was able to pre-order a copy of it for myself through work.  (Well, uh, they owe me for some videos and supplies I paid for personally, so it's kind of a swap. But I have to wait because I pre-ordered it with Fruits Basket 20 and Artemis Fowl 6 for the library.)

But anyway, my main news is that they're going to be selling the complete set, starting in May.  It's going to be about $46, but I see it avaliable to pre-order for around $30 everywhere.

Says it's a 4-disc set, which seems odd since they sold it as three discs seperately...

Maybe it's higher quality or the fourth disc is special features or something?

Also, at first the dub will seem funnier, but I must say that the original Japanese version is a lot better.

The ones I really like, I usually watch in Japanese on the second or third viewing.

Maybe the fourth disc is a soundtrack or something, which seems odd, because a lot of the reviews I read said the music was repetitive.
