Anyway, they put up an amazing movie called Dead Leaves, an anime movie I saw when SyFy had a less stupid name. It was trippy as hell, a combination of FLCL and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, which makes sense, since Gurren Lagann and Dead Leaves were directed by the same guy, whom worked with the director of FLCL on a different show. Gainax is amazing, by the way.
ANYWAY, since I'm so lazy, I'll just copypasta a summery.
"Retro and Pandy, two unlikely renegades, awaken naked on Earth with no recollection of their past, but with superior physical abilities. After embarking on a brief but devastating crime spree for food, clothing and transportation in downtown Tokyo, they are captured by authorities and sent to the infamous prison called Dead Leaves, on the half destroyed moon.
Once incarcerated, they orchestrate a mass prison break and discover the secret work being carried out at the facility. Over the course of the film, it is discovered that Pandy and Retro were spies working at the facility and the crazed warden is trying to get revenge on Pandy by recreating a deranged fairy tale she remembers from her childhood.
In the finale, Pandy has Retro's child, who comes out with twin machine guns and blows the warden away. A giant caterpillar (part of the demented fairy tale) begins consuming the station until the mutant baby sacrifices himself so that his two parents can live. The film ends with Pandy and Retro crashing in the middle of Earth's dystopian metropolis in their escape pod, crushing a previously-victimized bystander."
Also, preview.
Ah, memories.
OH, by the way.
I BEAT THE GODDAMN POKEMON LEAGUE LAST NIGHT.
It was a major pain.
