Apparently God’s light is finally shining down on me, because a film featuring two of my favorite things in the world, samurai and metal music, have finally converged!! The film is called Metal Samurai, appropriately enough, and it looks like a complete goof, but a fun one at that. Read on for a synopsis and a power metal filled trailer!

From the YIFFF website: “This is the first of a series of films co-produced by Columbia Music Entertainment and the Toei Film Studio of Kyoto. Matsudaira Desunoshin is a ronin who has a crush on Omitsu, a young girl working at an eating-place called “Otafuku.” With his detective friend, Heihachi, he frequents the diner but Omitsu remains totally unaware of his feelings; first, because he is shy - despite his wild looks - and second, because of a language barrier. But Desunoshin has an alternate identity… he is a heavy metal guitarist”
