Crows Zero (aka: Crows Episode O)
A punk's gotta do what a punk's gotta do in "Crows: Episode 0," the third picture by prolific Japanese maverick Takashi Miike to hit the fest circuit in as many months, following "Like a Dragon" and "Sukiyaki Western Django." Recalling any number of brawling student pics from Asia -- and playing sometimes like a serious version of the South Korean "Conduct Zero" (2002) -- this prequel to a planned adaptation of the manga by Hiroshi Takahashi, which sold more than 32 million copies in Japan.
Suzuran Boys' High, aka School for Crows, has a rep as the toughest educational institution in town (not that we ever see the students getting any education). Thither goes beanpole punk Genji Takaya (Shun Oguri, "Sukiyaki," "Azumi") to prove to his dad, yakuza boss Hideo (Goro Kishitani), that he has the smarts to eventually take over papa's operation.
Arriving at the rundown school, Genji is mistaken for its numero uno fighter, Tamao Serizawa (Takayuki Yamada), by smalltime gangleader Ken Katagiri (Kyosuke Yabe). After Genji whips Ken & co.'s asses without breaking a sweat, Tamao realizes the school has a new pretender to his throne.
Crows Zero 2 (aka: Crows Episode O 2)
About few months after the first school war, Genji (Shun Oguri) is going to graduate at Suzuran High School. However an assassin from rival school Housen Gakuen appears in front of him, and this incident brakes passed armistice agreement between two schools. Housei Gakuen is unified by strong leader Taiga Narumi (Kaneko Nobuaki), but Genji still cannot unify all rogue in Suzuran High School due to Linda Man, Serizawa Group, self-indulgent freshman group, and more factors. Suzuran High School is now under unprecedented danger!
