Insanely Cool Trailer for the Japanese Film JELLYFISH EYES

Holy crap! You've got to watch this trailer for an insane looking Japanese film called Jellyfish Eyes! This is the directorial debut of Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, and damn... it looks ridiculously fantastic! The sci-fi fantasy adventure is packed full of unique visuals with all kinds of cool looking creatures. The movie includes a fun combination of live-action and animation, and I think most of you will like what you see.

The film tells the story of Masashi, "a young boy who moves to a sleepy town in the Japanese countryside with his mother in the wake of a natural disaster. After returning home from his new elementary school one day, Masashi discovers a flying jellyfish-like creature whom he befriends and names Kurage-bo. Masashi soon discovers that all his classmates have similarly magical pets, known as F.R.I.E.N.D.s, which are controlled by electronic devices that the children use to battle one another. Despite their playful appearances, however, these F.R.I.E.N.D.s turn out to be part of a sinister plot."
