Assault Girls

It’s like, if Dune were done by the Japanese.  It’s got giant guns, hot chicks, and makes no sense without subtitles.

In the aftermath of global thermonuclear war, the Earth’s surface has been turned into a desert battlefield. Three beautiful female hunters: Gray (Meisa Kuroki), Lucifer (Rinko Kikuchi), and Colonel (Hinako Saeki)  traverse the barren landscape armed with powerful assault rifles to fight a group of deadly sand-dwelling monsters called “sunakujira” (sand whales). When the the epic battle eventually seems to be coming to an end, the sparkle of muzzle flash dies down and assault ship flies overhead. Suddenly, a gigantic super mutation called “Madara Sunakujira” attacks. Via Twitch

OK, so it’s not quite dune.  But as it’s the latest by Mamoru Oshii, I’m pretty sure that it’ll be a good one.  As for getting my Dune fix, I’ll have to just make due with these home brew Lego sets.
