Domo Kun

Domo Kun is (as near as I can tell), an animated character promoting some Japanese TV station. There is a 100 Meg movie linked off of this page. Now, if somebody’s going to put a 100 meg video up on the web, you have to think it must be spectacular. Otherwise, who’s going to put up with the download times on something like that? Working on this assumption, I downloaded it. I have to say the magic was lost on me — that is, until I got to the dance sequence at the end. The dance sequence features somebody in a big Domo Kun suit, bouncing around with like 100 cheerleaders to the song Xanadu. Now that was so bizarre to see it completely justified the download time.
