It's ment to look corny. It's a "mockumentary".

They also probably had a limited budget. lol
Overall I enjoyed it, but I didn't like the ending. spoiler[When he solves all of the worlds problems and goes to space to help aliens was way too over the top for me], lol.

Wow. I remember way back when VVH was a webcomic and only a webcomic. Now why isn't there a Sluggy movie yet?

Ever since Yuri mentioned this movie during ANN Cast I was intrigued. The movie was so bad it was hilarious. It just kept getting outlandish by the minute.

I am impressed by how many people, especially big name people in the Japanese Industry, they got in this low budget film.

Van ran a little long but had some very funny moments. Was glad to have watched it.

I managed 7:33 minutes before I couldn't take any more. But then again, I have a very low tolerance for stupid stuff...

I approached this movie with caution--and was surprised at how I enjoyed myself watching it. It was very strange and funny for itself, and I really liked Yuri Lowenthal. A lot better than I thought it would be!
