Weird half-Anime half-live action flick from the '80s. Never even heard of it until I saw a VHS tape of it for a few bucks, and was like "lol, sure, why not?"
Basically, there's a guy who is too depressed and lazy to kill all of the cockroaches in his apartment, and they mistake his apathy for benevolence, thinking that he is some sort of divine entity. He used to hate them, but ever since his wife left him he no longer gives a ****, and now there's a golden age of peaceful cockroach civilization.
But then he hits it off with a girl who hates roaches, and together they pretty much massacre everybody.
Oh, and there's a scene with a talking turd.
Fun premise, unique art style, cool visuals, but the movie devotes way too much time to a boring and uninteresting love triangle. It's one of those flicks that easily could have shaved off at least a full hour from the runtime without really losing anything. As it is, it's almost two hours long, and it drags something fierce. But it's still sort of charming, and worth a watch the next time you're in the mood for something different.
