The YouTube website’s official channel for Takeshi Koike and MADHOUSE’s Redline anime film began streaming three 37-second trailers in high definition late last week. The film, which follows the deadliest car race in known space, will open in Japan on October 9 after advance screenings at international film festivals. Koike (The Animatrix’s “World Record”) is collaborating with writer Katsuhito Ishii (Piroppo, Trava) on this project. Leading the cast are SMAP’s Takuya Kimura (Howl’s Moving Castle, live-action Space Battleship Yamato), Tadanobu Asano (Ichi the Killer, Tokyo Zombie), and Yuu Aoi (Honey and Clover, Tekkonkinkreet). According the film’s oficial blog, Ishii personally edited the trailers.

Some Chinese dudes decided they couldn’t wait a year for Michael Bay to drop his next 3D Transformabomb, so they went trowling around the local junkyards until they came up with the 10,108 car parts needed to erect this 33-foot Optimus Prime. We heard that 10 minutes after this picture was taken, OP tried to do a mating dance for the Olympic Stadium, but she didn’t bite. Better luck next time!

If you’re a long time figure collector, you might be wondering “WTF is Wafudoh Ganguten?!”

Japan’s Fuji-Q HighLand amusement park has unveiled the world’s first life-size bust of the Evangelion anime’s EVA-01 unit before members of the media on Thursday. The public grand opening of the “Evangelion: World – Life-Size EVA-01 Construction Project” pavilion will actually take place next Friday, and the theme park plans to stream the event live on the Ustream website.

The pavilion’s main attraction recreates the scene where the anime’s main character Shinji Ikari encounters the EVA-01 unit in its 7th Cage hangar for the first time. The bust measures 9 meters (about 30 feet) tall and 16 meters (52 feet) wide. The pavilion also has a life-size Entry Plug cockpit of an Evangelion unit (from where visitors can pay to have their photos taken), life-size figures of the character Kaworu Nagisa and the SEELE monoliths, a miniature video theater, a museum, two studio galleries for taking photographs, and a shop. The construction costs of the whole facility eventually added up to 150 million yen (US$1.6 million).
