I didn’t quite have it in me to feature yet another horrible Japanese liquid based on bodily fluids, so instead enjoy this 5-minute recap/trailer for the second Berserk Golden Age movie, The Battle for Doldrey. I have no fucking clue what’s going on in it, but the battle that runs from 2:00 to 3:00 is totally worth your time. And unlike most Super Terrific Japanese Things, you don’t have to imagine lonely Japanese men sticking their penis in it. Unless you really want to, I guess. (Via Twitch)
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
