DETROIT METAL CITY – Episode 4 – FRUSTRATION/GOOD SONG
GO! TO! DMC!
This episode covers Chapters 12 & 8 of the manga. While out of sequence, paired together they provide examples of how DMC doesn’t just satirise metal, but all aspects of pop culture.
In “Frustration” we see just what a thin line there is between Negishi and Krauser II, as Negishi takes rejection by a personal hero very badly. Another minor difference to the manga is in this episode – the poster Negishi drunkenly berates is more clearly the “Amelie” film poster in the manga.
In “Good Song” Negishi runs into a school friend who has the sort of music career he dreams of, that of a fey Sarah Records style indie band. When they find themselves booked on the same music show the inevitable occurs.
thank you so much for pointing this series out to me, its amazing.
in addition to being incredibly funny it’s totally improved my sex life! ^_^
