Any Takashi Miike fans will want to check out a great interview that Twitch did with him recently.

“SA: Your films tend to have a very disjointed sense of humor. After making films that make excessive gore funny in a campy way, how difficult is it to take a superhero protagonist seriously?

TM: It wasn’t difficult at all. As a kid, I grew up watching the show and the sensibility and the humor of the show, which is quite wacky in itself, I think influenced the way I grew up as an adult. Not that Yatterman is everything but it did greatly influence how I grew up as an adult. Perhaps if I didn’t watch the show as a child, I would be a very different director now. That’s something that’s been ingrained in me as a person and a director. I don’t think there’s a big gap there.”
