A Cheerful Gang Turns the Earth - Geneon

In A Cheerful Gang Turns the Earth (Yoki na Gyangu ga Chikyu o Mawasu), a botched robbery attempt in Yokohama inspires four customers, each with their own unique specialty, to form their own charismatic gang of bank robbers. There’s the pickpocket, the human clock (who’s also one heck of a getaway driver), the eloquent speaker, and the lie detector. After they pull off their planned robbery they disband and decide to move on with their lives, having not planned on becoming career criminals. However, when the son of a member is kidnapped the team is brought back together and forced into another caper, but this time there’s no telling who can be trusted.

Region 2, NTSC, 2 discs, DVD9. Japanese Dolby 5.1 and DTS audio with optional English and Japanese subtitles. Bonus disc includes making-of, “Cheerful Gang and VFX Men”, storyboard (6 scenes), cast/crew interviews, press conferences, and premiere footage.
