I was just looking around on YouTube and found a clip of this movie called Big Man Japan which looks to be a very bizarre Japanese comedy. I watched the first clip and then noticed a bunch more, which are all equally strange. This is definitely one I plan on checking out when it comes to DVD after watching these clips. The movie is done by Six Shooter films and the synopsis is below followed by the trailer and some very interesting clips.
“A middle-aged slacker living in a rundown, graffiti-ridden slum, Daisatos job involves being shocked by bolts of electricity that transform him into a stocky, stick-wielding giant several stories high who is entrusted with defending Japan from a host of bizarre monsters. But while his predecessors were national heroes, he is a pariah among the citizens he protects, who bitterly complain about the noise and destruction of property he causes. And Daisato has his own problems an agent insistent on branding him with sponsor advertisements, an Alzheimer-afflicted grandfather who transforms into a giant in dirty underwear, and a family who is embarrassed by his often cowardly exploits. A wickedly deadpan spin on the giant Japanese superhero, BIG MAN JAPAN is an outrageous portrait of a pathetic but truly unique hero.”

That looks like it will be a fucked up and funny ass movie. Noone does it quite like the Japanese when it comes to strange shit.
Not quite as weird as Big Man but still really good is this animated music video by Linear Motor…kind about world peace. http://www.japansugoi.com/wordpress/united-colors-of-bean-by-linear-motor/
