This is in japanese with no sub-titles, but it's still cool to look at.

That was pretty horrific. It was like watching Power Rangers and Godzilla all rolled into one. I guess the Japanese just have a poor history when it comes to adapting the character for their market. I used to read the translated versions of the Japanese Spider-Man comic. The protagonist in that was so whiny and self pitying...it was horrible. But, at least to some extent, the Spider-Man character has been enjoyed by other cultures.

Uhhhhhhhhhhh.....where are Joel (or Mike) and the Bots? They'd certainly have a field day with this one.
