Overview:	Cult-favorite director Katsuhito Ishii ("A Taste Of Tea", "Shark Skin Man And Peach Hip Girl") teams up with the talented Shunichiro Miki and ANIKI to create another visually inventive masterpiece! "Funky Forest" features hilariously odd characters that will take you on an unpredictable cosmic journey! Three unpopular brothers, Masaichi, Masaru, and Masao, are struggling to be popular among the girls. Luckily enough, they finally get a chance to have a co-ed picnic with some pretty young ladies! With 21 free-associative episodes ranging from a nonsense "sci-fi" comedy to a dance-battle daydream, "Funky Forest: The First Contact" will challenge your mind and melt logic, as its unique characters find themselves in warped dimensions way past our imagination.
