Considering people’s hair-trigger response to anything even remotely perceived as “racist” on this blog, I’m almost afraid to ask this question: Do Japanese people really need to be “sold” on the idea of The Transformers? They kind of invented them, right?
Anyway, apparently the studios think Japan needs to be convinced, because in that country the trailer for the new Michael Bay Transformers movie comes complete with a preface—producer Steven Spielberg and director Michael Bay begging the Japanese people to watch their movie!

Domo Arigato, TV in Japan!
