Armageddon! Furry Animal Suit! Worried Faces! It's 20th CENTURY BOYS - New Clip

It's still a big tease, but at least it's longer! Yukihiko Tsutsumi’s 20th Century Boys should be unleashed this summer in Japan; it's all about a small group of friends trying to save the world from destruction by a mysterious organization over a fifty year period. The newest promo clip shows a lot of worried faces and plenty of dialog; since my Japanese is pretty rusty -- OK, it's non-existent -- I have no idea how much the talking helps set the mood, but it's still got me revved up. Is the furry animal suit an homage to Donnie Darko? Will that frustratingly brief look at a robot prove to be a red herring or an integral part of the story? I don't know, but check out the nearly four-minute clip after the jump to get more of a feel for the movie.

Thanks to Ulrik at Affenheimtheater for alerting us to the YouTube-itude.
