You really need to have the girls in the bikinis covered with the gore. At least now we know to expect the games — OneChanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad and OneChanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers — in February of next year. Dibs on review copies! More »

As threatened, GameSetWatch columnist Matt Hawkins has reviewed the American premiere of Oneechanbara, which had its American debut at the New York Asian Film Festival. Hawkins looks at it from a different perspective from the review we linked earlier — that of a person who was awake and actively watching the film. It's exhaustive, but for those who want a quick summary, Hawkins, at one point writes on whether the movie is good or not, "Define 'good.'" More »

Watched so you don't have to! The New York Asian Film Festival recently kicked off, showing lots and lots of, you guessed it, Asian films. Included in that pan-Pacific cinematic buffet was OneChanbara — a film we actually want to see. That Girl from the cleverly named That Girl's Site saw the flick, blogging: More »

New Yorkers with a thirst for blood covered cowgirls may want to free up their Friday night, as the movie adaptation of Oneechanbara—trailer here—has its "international premiere" at the New York Asian Film Festival later this week. It looks to have all the narrative density of an informational pamphlet but does feature school girl outfits and biker chicks fighting the undead. More »

Japanese figure maker Alter has put up new listings for its fall figurine line-up which includes a Persona 3 Elizabeth from sculptor Fumiki Saitou and an Oneechanbara VorteX Aya from Goutarou Takeuchi. The Elizabeth (pictured) is 22cm tall and books at ¥6,090 (US$58), while the Aya (after the jump) is 25cm tall and priced at ¥8,190 (US$78). Aya, of course, is more expensive because she is 3cm higher and not because she is in her skippies and carrying swords. Oh no. More »

Like, well, yeah. Anyway, this is pretty much exactly what we were imagining — down even to the schmalzy music, cheesy effects and exploding decapitated heads. What, you were expecting something else? Oneechanbara Trailer [Megatonik] More »

Blood-drenched, katana-wielding cowgirls are pretty much the best thing to ever happen to Japanese budget publisher D3. That and Earth Defense Force are its current bread and butter. We'll see how well the film adaptation of Oneechanbara, the bikinied hack 'n' slash zombie-killer holds up to 90 minutes of "story" when it's released abroad in April. Since I'll be watching it with the sound off anyway, it should get the job done. For now, a trailer and some imagination will have to suffice. More »

That's right, hack-and-slash game Oneechanbara is getting a hack-and-slash film adaptation! The movie was announced today at a Tokyo press conference, and the flick's website was launched. The film will star TV talent Eri Otoguro as Aya, bikini model Chise Nakamura as little sister Saki and idol Manami Hashimoto as Reiko. And how was it playing the bikini cowgirl Aya? Otogruo illuminates:

Oneechanbara (aka that bikini girl with a cowboy hat) is back with another kooky office promotion for another kooky Oneechanbara game. Last time, main character Aya showed up with a dude from Earth Defense Force and started waving her sword around. This time, she showed up alone to promote Wii game Oneechanbara Revolution. And slashed up some dudes in flannel wearing zombie make-up. Scary. More »

Everyone's favorite cowboy boots and bikini wearin' zombie slayer Aya from D3's Onechanbara is getting a new figurine come this June. Priced at ¥7,140 (US $59), the fig is at 1/6 scale and measures in at 29 cm (11.4 inches). Over at the YAMATO link below, there's even a "PHOTOZoomer" that lets shoppers get up close and personal with the figure. How close? Why, this close. Brian Ashcraft More »

Siliconera is giddy as a pus-covered schoolgirl about the looming American release of Oneechanbara for the Xbox 360. Oneechanbara, aka "that cowboy hat bikini zombie game"; the game that launched one thousand latex catsuits; devourer of souls and destroyer of worlds. Yes, THAT Oneechanbara: More »
