The omnipotent hero trope is the foundation of most isekai anime. As the ultimate expression of escapism, isekai stories usually give their protagonists one or more unfair advantages at the start of their adventure, leading to some of the most overpowered characters in anime. Some series have taken a more irreverent approach, playing with the genre tropes. One recent irreverently creative isekai even plays with the already overpowered God Mode archetype as a joke, highlighting just how absurdly broken it can be, while also delivering a compelling story to boot.

On Friday nights, IndieWire After Dark takes a feature-length beat to honor fringe cinema in the streaming age.

First, the spoiler-free pitch for one editor’s midnight movie pick — something weird and wonderful from any age of film that deserves our memorializing.

Then, the spoiler-filled aftermath as experienced by the unwitting editor attacked by this week’s recommendation.

The Pitch: Is This Gift from the Fuck Bombers the Greatest Movie Ever Made?

One dramatic question plays out twice in Sion Sono’s gleeful, blood-soaked, meta-masterpiece “Why Don’t You Play in Hell?” As a ragtag group of amateur filmmakers known as the Fuck Bombers pursues their earnest quest — to achieve all-time cinematic superiority by capturing the real violence of a yakuza war — every slice of skin and splice of footage demands to know: Is this the greatest movie ever made?

Jun Kunimura, Shinichi Tsutsumi, Hiroki Hasegawa, Gen Hoshino, Fumi Nikaido, and Tomochika all star. The film opens in Japan on September 28th.
