Put your knickers back on WEBSTER fans. We’re not talking about Alex Karras here.
We got a press release from Manga Entertainment recently announcing the American voice cast for their upcoming animated project. It will drop in two volumes titled KARAS: THE PROPHECY and KARAS: THE REVELATION. Notables lending their voices are Jay Hernandez (HOSTEL), Matthew Lillard (SCREAM), and uber-cutie Piper Perabo.
Here’s the skinny on the story: Karas, is best described as Batman with a Samurai Sword or a Cyber-punk version of The Crow. Karas takes place in Tokyo, a city populated by both humans and ghostly beings. They exist in two dimensions; seen and unseen- spirits, apparitions and demons. Karas is the city’s guardian, and Tokyo is thrown into disarray as a former Karas named Eko attempts to seize power and bring order to the streets through force. An entity named Yurine, who represents the will of the people, stands in Eko’s way with her newly risen Karas. Now two Karas emerge to destroy either all of the demons or destroy all humanity. Which Karas will prevail?
Something about that synopsis reminds me of a Mad-Lib, but it still sounds fun. And anything that lets me post multiple pictures of Piper is just fine by me.
