Otaku No Video (AnimEigo, 13+) "A true treat for true fans of any genre, Otaku No Video ("Fan's Video") is an outrageous "mockumentary" that combines the superb animation that made Gainax one of Japan's best-loved animation studios with truly strange interviews with "real fans." The result is a thinly fictionalized history of Gainax that segues into a truly strange SF adventure. Sit back and enjoy as a small band of Otaku (fans) set out to "Otakunize" the human race!"
