Studio Hibari (Duel Masters, Major, Moonlight Mile) is at work on an hour long historical film titled Junod, depicting real-life Swiss doctor Mercel Junod, the first foreign doctor to arrive at Hiroshima after its atomic bombing in 1945.

A digest version of the film will be screened in Hiroshima on December 23. Studio Hibari is expected to complete production of the movie on January 31, 2010.

My god, after so many years isn’t about time to finally release an atomic comedy about Hiroshima’s bombing? Why they can’t at least give the ‘Whale Whores’ episode of South Park to offer a new perspective about the bombing?
give a chance I mean.
Hebrew people are still butthurt about concentration camps and Japanese people about the atomic bomb, what kind of world we have because all this bitterness?
