This certainly seems to have a higher budget than Aum Shinrikyo had for their anime.

So I guess that means that anime isn't just all tentacles, rape and underaged samurai catgirls, it's also apocalyptic religious propganda too?

Hopefully this one will include Oompa Loompas too.

It amazes me how all big religions think we are worth saving... and by the creator himself!!! Well.... not buda thou, he didn't create a thing.

This is certainly an interesting film. What is so controversial about Happy Science (which sounds like a band or geeky anime title) anyway?

I can't help but compare it to the future Osamu Tezuka "Buddha" film that is coming up. I'd be more than happy to watch both of the films. I personally think Buddhism is a big hoax, but I'm more than willing to watch it with a "fictional" mindset.

The guy who founded it has some really weird predictions like the USA sinking because it pissed off God, and Jesus coming back even though his a buddhist.

It makes Scientology look sane.
