DETROIT METAL CITY COMPLETE COLLECTION Published by: Sentai Filmworks Distributed by: Section23 Films Run Time: 150 min. Street Date: 10/2/2012 Format: DVD Language: Japanese with English Subtitles SRP: $29.98 Get ready for the ear-splittingest, skull-smashingest band to ever assault your senses! Led by phallus-waiving terrorist-from-hell Johannes Krauser II (guitar/vocals,) and given pulsing, throbbing life by indestructible drummer Camus and bassist Alexander Jagi, they`re Detroit Metal City, the hottest ticket on the concert circuit! There`s just one catch. That “hottest ticket" is just a meal ticket, and beneath the makeup these ultimate headbangers are hired doppelgangers who don`t even LIKE what they do! Jaggi is actually Wada, who wants to play Glam Rock, Camus is Nishida, an anime fan with an appalling weakness for curry and NSFW videos, and Krauser is… oh the shame… street-singing Soichi Negishi, whose dreams of singing happy pop seem hopelessly doomed by the success of his rage-fueled alter ego! Worse, he can`t even tell anyone who Krauser is. Not even the girl he likes, who HATES DMC! Will rage against the corporate machine consume Negishi`s tortured soul? Is there life after Death Metal? What it`s like to put your head in a jet engine and turn UP the volume? Find out as angst, amps and anarchy collide in DETROIT METAL CITY!

Just one touch makes his nose bleed, so school`s a bloody nightmare even before Kanade, the Principal`s twisted daughter, deduces both Kinjiro`s "feminine issue" AND that his name contains the sounds "Chi" and "Kin" back to back. But Chi-Kinjiro`s female troubles don`t totally redline until a wrong turn in the men`s room exposes the secret Subaru, Kanade`s manservant, has been hiding in the water closet. (Well, to be fair, SHE is still a servant.) And if Subaru`s cross reactions concerning her cross-dressing aren`t enough of a drag, Kinjiro`s girl problems also include a haunted martial artist (with ghosts,) a cat-eared fetishist (meow!) AND his own sister, who`s interest in "wrestling" a certain incorrectly packaged butler, may result in an unexpected ending! And that`s JUST the set up! The maiden parts will fly, the punchlines will be below the belt and the butler will be cross-dressed to kill as Kinjiro goes stark-raving "Girl Crazy" in MAYO CHIKI!

Fortunately Yuuki`s not completely on his own, and with the aid of his uniquely talented associate Inga, he`s ready to cut a swath through the veils of secrecy that have been laid before him. Get ready for mind against matter and a lot of cloak and dagger as the ultimate battle of clue and deduction begins in UN-GO!
