Just finished watching this absolute kino masterpiece. Have you seen it?

>"Ichi the Killer"
>every poster has Kakihara on the cover

Was drunk and took me half to the movie to figure out who ichi was, misleading posters

I'll watch it literally right now if it's on Tubi.
Otherwise.....FUCK off.....

The manga is way better
The movie is like a super abridged version with a less interesting psychology

>>212170637
Would rather look at a sobbing sissy nigga or a hard looking nigga with scars and piercings on his face? I’d say it worked because it watched it for kakihara not knowing he isn’t ichi

>>212170635
>>212170637
bro everyone thought that for decades because of this shit.

we use to make fun of guys who tried to "weird movie" people in the 2000s and always used this.

it needed more Kakihara, all the posters prove it
but yeah it's still kino nonetheless

>>212170660
Looks like it is. Go watch it, Anon.

>>212170724
Nice. Omw.

>>212170660
That's where I first watched it, probably still on there

>>212170583 (OP)
Asano was the It boy of Jap indie in mid-90s to 2003 (he played a mature guy for the 1st time in Zatoichi I think.) He played an incel CHUD in FOCUS 1996.

>>212170688
TRUE

>>212170716
Both he + the Ichi guy played 2 cops in Kitano's latest, possibly last ever, Broken Rage.

>>212170583 (OP)
now go watch this kino

>>212170826
don't say that...... kitano will live forever... right?

>>212170841
turned it off after 30 min

go watch the anime and the live action prequel, both excellent, because this manga won't be adapted anymore for sure then

>>212170862
then you missed the best parts. go try to watch it again. trust me

how good is homunculus on netflix? same author

>>212170841
I'll get around to it soon. Already have something else lined up for tomorrow.

>>212170999
>netflix
most likely garbage

now watch tetsuo

ill watch it right now better not be shit

>>212170911
Watching episode 1 at the moment, this is probably more insane than the movie.

>>212172387
it's closer to the manga, which is way more grotesque ... ichi-1 wa sa loose adapatation but still good

it's closer to the manga, which is way more grotesque ... ichi-1 was a loose adapatation but still good

the opening of the anime is also how kakihara meets his fate as opposed to whatever they did in the film ... the manga's finale is much better than the film

I prefer the grounded film the cure. Psychothriller.

>>212170635
Confused the shit out of me the first time too

i watched the first 25 minutes of it and it was completely incomprehensible and i turned it off and i enjoyed Branded to Kill

>>212173531
It really isn't that hard to follow

>>212170583 (OP)
>Another bait/insincere/ironic japanese thread where people pretend to like a terrible manga/anime/adaptation
>>212173531
Branded to kill is great.

>>212172299
It's good but in a pretty different semi body horror way

>>212170583 (OP)
He had some rad clothes

>>212170635
He's got a face for posters

>>212173753
i enjoyed Gate of Flesh 1964 too, Joe Shishido was in some really cool stuff

>>212170583 (OP)
>disappointed he doesn't get a glorious death scene
>just makes himself imagine he got one then kills himself
based?

Fantastic slice of the era, this along with Battle Royale and Tokyo Gore Police are reminders of a time when the US thought Japan was the coolest fucking place on Earth.

>>212170583 (OP)
it's practically a netflix adaptation compared to the manga.

>>212170583 (OP)
I haven't seen it. but I remember seeing a gif of someone cutting someones nipples off or something.

>>212170583 (OP)
Yeah. Like 20 years ago.

I saw it twenty years ago, almost. Back when I was seeking out "famously" ultra violent films to be bold. I must rewatch it.

ichi is about a horny guy who cant cum

>>212178106
he's literally me

>>212178432

Was your school sweetheart raped in a school toilet while you stood there and watched?

>>212178552
yes

>>212170635

>>212170583 (OP)


EDGEY DRIVEL; NOT GENUINE JAPANESE CINEMA.

>>212174420
All of those movies are awful.

Why is Tadanobu Asano so goated?

just catched this movie on the information super highway. it was almost kino but then they used bad early cgi in some scenes and had a mostly non sensical plot. japs are some depraved fucks.


also the whole time i wss waiting for the guy that gets his face and body all chained up like the suzukis back because i always see that pic posted here and i thought it must be from this movie once i saw suzuki.

6 out of ten. enjoyed the! jap city shots. but really did not like ichi

>>212179979
You are wrong

Zebraman is miikes best movie, prove me wrong

Ichi the Killer... Jeff the Killer...

>>212170583 (OP)
japs aint be makin flicks like this no mo :..(

>>212181433
oh no muh shinji cum shots

>>212173531
Read the manga. Miike changed a bunch of shit around for no reason.

gotta rewatch visitor Q some time this year
90s/00s JP was goated, true golden era before baka gajjin commoditized it all, better to cherish it for what it was, unburdened by what it has become

>>212170635
Kakihara is the real protagonist.

>>212170669
It's abridged but the manga drags a bit and the stuff that's in both the manga and movie are better in the movie for the most part. Kakihara is also better in the movie.

>>212170826
>possibly last ever
Proofs?

>>212179979
TOKYO GORE POLICE is kino of astronomical proportions, who are you trying to kid?

maybe in 10 years japanese will learn to act

the cast act like robots or cartoon characters

yeah

I haven't watched movie but I remember that scene from the manga where Kakihara orders one of his men to fuck one dead guy in the ass because that guy asked Kakihara nicely to do it since he always wanted to know how it feels like. I really enjoyed the dark humor in the manga. Did they keep this scene in the movie?
