The fact that Yuasa Masaaki's Mind Game still has no American distribution is shameful. Last I heard Go Fish had the title (same with Casshern), but never even bothered to give it a video release. Why?
Well, at least Masaaki has a new movie out: Yojohan Shinwa Taikei. Based on the trailer at Twitchfilm, it appears to be about a young man entering college, but that's a little like saying Moby-dick was about this bigass fish, and it seems as unlike Mind Game as Mind Game was unlike anything else.

"Yojohan Shinwa Taikei" is actually a new TV project airing in the Fuji Television late-night "Noitamina" programming block, which has been extended to an hour-long block as of this April (yay!). It's airing along with "House of Five Leaves," based on the Natsume Ono manga of the same name.
I'm really looking forward to both.

Thanks for the clarification! "Five Leaves", BTW, is also on my to-read list now that I've savored "not simple" (http://www.genjipress.com/2010/01/not-simple-natsume-ono.html). I guess some people were confused about this being a feature film vs. a TV project.
