三十六:Laughter is the best Medicine. Review of Detroit Metal City.

Just an update, I am still sick with a runny nose and a slight fever. I was planning to get a checkup at the clinic near our house unfortunately there are some issues with our health benefits at the office.

Anyways, so there is this saying that laughter is the best medicine and it might not be completely true but laughing can actually make you feel a bit better because you feel happier and you forget your problems. 

I was thinking of funny movies to watch and I remembered a friend suggesting Detroit Metal City. He told me that it's really funny. And so I searched for it in Youtube and just watching the trailer made me laugh.

I quickly searched for the movie and watching it made me cry.. from laughing too hard. ^_^ The movie is really funny and just thinking of the funny scenes in my head makes me laugh again.

Detroit Metal City is actually a manga turned anime turned movie. It's about this simple farm boy, Soichi Negishi, who loves music especially love songs and dreamed of being famous in the music industry. To pursue his dreams, he went to Tokyo and immediately got what he wished. Now in Tokyo, Negishi became really famous but unfortunately for him, he wasn't singing any love songs. Negishi, a shy farm boy with a p*nis haircut, once he steps onto the music stage turns into Johannes Krauser II, a death metal lead vocalist and guitarist most famous for his curses such as the 10 rapes a second and teeth guitar skills.

Krauser/Negishi
The show is really funny mainly due to the fact that the lead character is trying really hard to hide his alternate identity from the people who know him such as his family and his crush Aikawa for the fear of being rejected. There are scenes where he mixes the characters of Krauser II and himself which are very, very hilarious. Naturally kind, Negishi would sometimes use his popularity as Krauser II to help his fans or teach them how to be a better person, the Krauser II way.

Watching the movie did not cure me but it made me really happy. Somehow it relieved my stress and made me forget that I was sick even though I was sneezing and coughing while I watch the movie and its series. For those who want a good laugh, I recommend you watch not just the movie but the series itself.
