I watched Cashern yesterday. It is a live-action anime with stunning visuals--very techno gothic. The story and acting were typically over-wraught though, and the Japanese tendancy to go for melodrama was exploited to the hilt. Still it a a visually interesting peice and if you are into anime/manga then worth a look (for a proper review check out Midnight Eye). There was a little bit of nudity when the neo-humans emerge at the start of the film, but it is pretty dark (I lightened these in photoshop). The director Kazuaki Kiriya started out doing pop promos before making this. His wife, pop princess Utada Hikaru, did the closing song for the movie.
