Ladies, be warned. Should your pants ride low enough to expose the top of your panties you may find yourself in trouble with a certain karate fighting robot.

Noboru Iguchi's Karate-Robo Zaborgar has won a lot of love on the international festival circuit and with the Japanese DVD release coming soon a series of Zaborgar short films has just arrived online.

Titled Hang In There! Zaborgar! these new shorts feature the titular robot hero being sent on brief missions and while they do not currently exist with English subtitles - we're assured subtitled versions will be included on the US DVD and BluRay releases - you really don't need any. This is a Noboru Iguchi film, after all. If you like robots, boobs, bums and silly jokes you're all set. Check them out below.

I can't help it. This type of odd, lighthearted humor always puts the biggest smile on my face. I gotta see more Iguchi films! Got a favorite I should check out?

Be aware that none of Iguchi's previous work is as good as KRZ.

Josh is right, unfortunately. It's tempting to mention "The Machine Girl" as another great title but its fire and single best joke (the gooooooooore) has been stolen by all the subsequent films from the Iguchi / Nishimura stable. And prior to that film Iguchi is best known for making porn.

However... do try "Sukeban Boy". It hinted at the madness to come and has a very goofy charm.
