I beg you, stop posting about this movie. Every time I remember this thing, I get nightmares. Which I believe was the original intent of the movie anyway.

I really, really hope this movie has some transcendentally good writing just because it would be so damn insane to have this thing be good.

WTF did I just see? You'd think this was just a bad dub title or translation, but no this is the actual thing in the flesh and it just gets worse from there. Someone needs to take one for the team and review it, if something this nightmare inducing is being made; there has to be at least a decent message behind it.

I mean, the message is right there in the article:
Quote:
"Huh? A turtle's shell is actually a human's ribs?" "The reverse-bending knee of a flamingo is a human's ankle!?" The illustrated encyclopedia A Turtle's Shell Is a Human's Ribs by Satoshi Kawasaki (SB Creative) clearly illustrates what it would be like if the human body acquired the bodily mechanics of various animals.

Basically this is an adaptation of a book that imagines how human bodies would look like if our biology was like various animals', eg. how a human would look like if our ribs were like a turtle's (that is, if our ribs were a shell). It's a silly, absurd comedy, and obviously it goes for shock value and gross-out factor, let's be honest, a lot of kids are into that sort of thing.

Nope, nope, nope.
