Overview

Daisato, a second-rate, third-generation superhero, annoys his neighbors with the noise and destruction he causes on the job. But a heroic public image is the least of his concerns. Besides defending Japan from bizarre monsters, he must deal with an agent seeking to brand him with ads, a superhero grandfather with Alzheimer’s and a family embarrassed by his incompetence.

Viewing Notes

Drove down to Facets today for an afternoon viewing of BIG MAN JAPAN (Dai-Nipponjin). Definitely think this is one meant to be seen on the big screen (as the name might imply). Delightfully weird and fun mockumentary about the last remaining monster fighter in Japan. Look forward to watching again altho it won’t be quite the same on a smaller screen I imagine.
