Detroit Metal City, the Most Metal Place on Earth
Alas, poor Quantum of Solace trailer. You had the misfortune of coming just before the gents at Japanator found the trailer for the live-action Detroit Metal City trailer, and now I totally don’t care about you. If you don’t remember, DMC is about a kindly kindergarten teacher who joins a utterly obscene metal band. as the trailer shows, there’s metal 6-yearold girls, a cameo by Gene Simmons and a song whose lyrics are exclusively made up of the word “Fuck.” Now that Death Note is ending this Saturday, I need this awesomeness to come fill the hole in my life. Please, dying anime industry! Don’t let me down!
