The Machine Is Coming In Superman Unbound

Supes is not my favorite superhero, but he isn't half bad.

We are thrown right into this one with a number of things not being explained to us. It makes me wonder if this slots into a timeline of some show. Supergirl is here, Kal's cousin, but none of her backstory is given up front. It could be that they just expect us to know, which I did, but I find it hard to believe that most casual viewers would have much knowledge of Kara's origins.

First Post: Yatta! Yatterman

Enough celebration. Lets get right down to it. Today's selection: Yatterman.

I've been on a bit of a Takashi Miike kick lately. If you don't know who he is, you should.

Here is a trailer to kick things off:

Way outside anything we see here in the US, right? So what is it about?

First I want to say something about the title. Now I could be wrong here, but I think the name Yatterman has a root in the Japanese exclamation, "Yatta!" In the US when the hero saves the day we throw a fist in the air and shout, "Yes!" Yatta is pretty much the Japanese version of that (I'm being simple in my explanation here).
