Buddhapocalypse Now? Or just controversy? (Video)
The coming film, Rebirth of Buddha, is apparently based on the “Happy Science” teachings of Japanese religious (cult? …some say so) leader Ryuho Okawa. As one YouTube commenter said about the film’s trailer, it looks like an “anime counterpart to the Left Behind series.”
The Anime News Network has some details with video, and Cartoon Leap has an update from today; apparently some people just ain’t buyin’ what this film is sellin.’
Here’s a little video now for a taste.

Wow…now I have to see this! Looks interesting, but the “rebirth of Buddha” part is confusing. I thought Buddha couldn’t be reborn? Or maybe it’s just a metaphor. The web address sounds a lot like “buddha-satan”, though =P
