Video from Popeye Pachinko machine

Post by Jet_Jaguar »

This made me giggle uncontrollably for some reason:

I'd love to see some crazy fever-dream inspired Popeye anime. That would be especially interesting to see since Osamu Tezuka was heavily influenced by 30s Fleischer cartoons. (Popeye even makes a bizarre cameo appearance early on in the manga series Dororo!)

(I also really enjoy the fact that there's a Rambo pachinko machine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR_BRlrG--0&NR=1)

I would have preferred that to the CG thing they did a few years ago.

Interesting fact: 乱暴 (rambou) means "violent" in Japanese.
