It’s the sort of school nobody in their right mind would willingly choose to attend but Genji has done just that, transferring to the school with the goal of doing what nobody has every done in the entire history of the place: battle his way to the top of the heap, unite the factions and be recognized as the undisputed king of Suzuran, a feat his yakuza boss father tried and failed to accomplish himself as a student of Suzuran decades before.

    What could have been a dumb cliche mess made to attract clueless teens ends up being a mature and well told story. Miike applies his sensibility and creates a perfect balance between the serious and the absurd. I found myself quite surprised at how engaged i was with the story an...( read more)d the characters. Of course, everyone is suppose to look "cool" and "badass" and what not, but the characters actually have well defined personalities and are more than just tiredsome cartoons of "coolness". The cast is great and the soundtrack a blast.

    Brutal!..i always love japanese high school fighting story but this is one of the best ever, not even 'battle royal' stand a chance. Genji, an heir to a yakuza throne come into this school of crows to prove himself worthy to take his father's place by united the gangs in suzuran,...( read more) but it don't come eazy, he must fight his way through by defeating every tug in the school. You wont see a highly martial art fighting technique, this is cowboy style knuckle fist straight to the head kinda fight..if you get knocked off then you loose. ow..and what a though guy if there's no beauty around to be saved, and kuroki meisa is one hot babe worth fighting for! i can tell you that.
    So kurozu zero is number one in my japanese movie hit list!
    And kuroki meisa is of course no.2 in my future wife list : )
