Original Title:
Otaku no Seiza
Alternate Titles:
The Sign of Otaku
Based on a RPG game for the PC Engine and Famicom. It is a world overrun by a new kind of disease. Men all over are being turned into otaku by a mysterious idol group, with an evil demon Indra pulling the strings behind the curtains. All hope seems lost... It is up to one man with the help of his idiot sidekick and a tranny to take down the opposing idols and stop Indra's evil plot. The man being Man - man that has no name, man that needs no name. He knows his way around in battle, ocean, space, shower scene, and even nudist colony fashion shows. He's the man that knows what Momotaro felt like. But can he save the Universe in the scope of two episodes that are fraught with gratuitous fanservice fillers?

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
