Haha, that's pretty amusing. I like the art for the can badges with the various characters towards the bottom of the website best. I suppose this stuff would like great next to the Kitty and Grudge/Ring promo a ways back.

Just when you thought having "Gundam" and "Pac-Man" was a little strange,we have something that just about tops it. Sanrio,known for it's adorable characters and Junji Ito,known for his horror manga,are going to collaborate on something. For a lot of people,including me,it would be like Disney getting involved with Steven King on a project. Well,the way they've been going in recent years,it might come to pass.

It looks like the collab is basically just juxtaposing essentially unknown Junji Ito characters with the much more well known Sanrio characters. “Here are two things next to each other that look odd together.” There is nothing interesting about how the Sanrio characters are depicted. Which, seems like it would be obvious. But then why this collab?
