Kumamoto is probably Japan's nicest city, so just for that I'll watch. There is a real lack of anime that takes place on Kyuushu in general. There's like 3? And Ghost Hound is the only decent one.

Better late than never. I can't help but think that most of its popularity outside of Japan is tied to the meme though.

Yeah you're right, it isn't exactly newsworthy. But thanks for sharing it anyway ;)
