PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Nobody knows what it’s like to be the bad man\u2026 except the bad man’s right-hand man, who has to take the boss’ deranged ideas and turn them into functioning plans. So, when the sadistic president of the Teiai Group decides he’s bored with the routine leg breaking and widow\/orphan evicting, he assigns the task of coming up with something “special” to his ruthless Number Two, Yukio Tonegawa. But how do you amuse someone who destroys a dozen lives before breakfast? There’s a huge pool of potential victims in the form of TFO’s swollen roster of defaulting borrowers, but if Tonegawa and his team of nearly identical men in black look-alikes can’t create a “game of death” that tickles the boss’ demented funny bones, they may end up playing the game themselves in Mr. Tonegawa: Middle Management Blues<\/em><\/strong>!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Sentai Filmworks releases Mr. Tonegawa: Middle Management Blues<\/em> <\/strong>is presented in its original 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and has been given a lovely looking 1080p high-definition transfer with good blend of bright colors with the black levels which appear stark.<\/p>\n

Each of the 24 episodes comes with an English and Japanese language DTS-HD Master Audio stereo tracks which has crisp and clear dialogue with some okay depth relegated to the two channels.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
