Take Me Down to Detroit Metal City
Despite my intense 45 seconds of research on Detroit Metal City?the awesome manga (and toyline) about a kindergarten teacher turned metal god?I did not find out anything about an anime. Both ANN and Japanator have proved me wrong, revealing that the excellent Studio 4C will be making 24 5-minute episodes, which, as you can see from the above promo video, involves just as much humping and spanking as it does rocking. Actually, you also can watch the whole first episode here at Amazon.jp, although there are obviously no subtitles there either. The whole series will be released on DVD on August 8th, which means they should be available for illegal downloading on the 9th. Enjoy!
