Ah Japan... taking any opportunity to further fetishize your women for international audiences the world over. We thank you... The Machine Girl was a huge hit (relatively speaking) thanks to a trailer filled with originality and audacity. Director Noboru Iguchi and effects man Yoshihiro Nishimura developed a very basic story of revenge and then caked it in absurdity, Karo syrup, and a schoolgirl's skirt... and it came out exactly as you'd expect. After a brief diversion with a short spinoff called The Hajirai Machine Girl, Iguchi has finally returned with a feature-length follow-up. Thanks to Twitch, we present the glory of Robogeisha! I enjoyed The Machine Girl (review) for the bizarre and violent psuedo-comedy that it was. And I actually loved Tokyo Gore Police (review) thanks to it's brilliant combination of crazy effects, kinetic action, and social commentary wrapped up in a semi-coherent plot. But I may be growing numb to the barebones conceit at play here...
