Detroit Metal City.

I was wondering if anybody else watches this series.

It's based on a manga by the same name and it's about a country guy who goes to Tokyo in order to accomplish his dream and form a "trendy pop band" but somehow ends up fronting a really exaggerated death metal band with makeup a-la-KISS... Now, the guy hates death metal but has sort of a split personality, when he gets his make-up on he does some really whacky shit, and he basically still wants to make a pop-band...

The guy has to hide his Death-Metal persona from just about everyone in his life, while at the same time, holding the pose for his fans and public image of the band... The humor is really crude and the characters are very hilarious stereotypes.

It's apparently 13 ovas, out of which there's 5 out subbed... (They run 15 minutes each) They supposedly made a Live-action movie but it hasn't been released/subbed yet...

this was released all at once on a dvd. I read this manga, and It is pretty fucking great.

I highly suggest this.
