Editorial Reviews

What’s a band to do with no fame, and especially no sold-out arena to perform in? How can they grab the cash they need to build the Concert Dome of their DREAMS?! Well, they can’t. But the NERIMA DAIKON BROTHERS sure as hell are going to try! WATCH as Hideki, Ichiro, and Mako (yeah, one of them’s a chick!) farm daikon by day, and battle slimy record producers, pachinko-mad hags, monstrous nurses, flatulent hospital administrators, and hot police babes, by night. LISTEN as the band AND the evil villains sing hilarious songs, all along the bumpy, daikon-studded road! TUNE IN AND SEE!!! (What’s daikon? Is it a vegetable? Is it a fruit? A weapon? A girl’s best friend? All of the above?! )

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious and Original, January 21, 2007

This review is from: Nerima Daikon Brothers, Vol. 1: Speak Softly But Carry a Big Daikon (DVD)

Nerima Daikon Brothers is a one of a kind anime. Each episode is full of singing, dancing, laughs and not to mention a sexual inuendo or 2. The series follows the members of a band know as the Nerima Daikon Brothers. The first episode opens with the leader of the group, Hideki daydreamin about his dream in life, to build a rock n' roll dome in his daikon field.(What's a daikon u ask, watch and find out) What follows is a musical romp through Nerima as Hideki, Ichiro and Mako(the female of the group) attempt to raise funds for their dome, while battling evil producers, nurses, pachinko hall owners and whoever else attempts to steal from the good people of Nerima. With support of the rental guy(those of you who have watched Excel Saga should recognize him) they take down bad guys and take their money. Will they ever get the money for their dome, tune in a find out.

DVD features include, Sing-along with the Daikon Brothers, music video of Ma-Ji-Ya-Ba starring the japanese voice actors, AD Vidnotes, and a couple of comentaries.

4.0 out of 5 stars Smile and say CASH!!!, January 3, 2007

This review is from: Nerima Daikon Brothers, Vol. 1: Speak Softly But Carry a Big Daikon (DVD)

Nerima Daikon Brothers is one of the most original anime I have ever seen. From the director of Excel Saga, Shinichi Watanabe (more popuarly known as Nabeshin), we are given another series similar to Excel Saga at least in pacing and the complete random hilarity. I was a bit skeptical about an anime musical but it actually works really well and is honestly a lot of fun to watch. I would venture to say this series belongs in everyones anime collection. If you're a fan of Excel Saga or itchin for something different from all the mecha, ninja, magical girl and high school drama's anime churns out then I'd say you definitely need to check this out.
