Takaya Genji just transferred to Suzuran, a high school notorious for its gang violence. At Suzuran High, hallways are battle zones, bloody brawls are everyday occurrences, and student life is dominated by the political winds of the school's many factions. Genji didn't end up here by accident though. He's here to do what even his yakuza father couldn't accomplish years before rule the school. Already stirring up a storm on the first day, Genji is determined to fight his way up the pecking order and unite the gangs. But not if alpha crow Serizawa Tamao has anything to say about it.

Ah, Takashi Miike again. He has a knack for filming some cool scenes that nobody would be ashamed of. His final duel is pumped up, both in stylization and thanks to the actors, and ultimately due to everything else - the pacing, which isn't so rushed, the meticulously crafted angles, and the exhilarating music. I feel like I haven't used the word "exhilarating" yet, so I hope this is the only occasion when I've done so. ()
Wow. I finally saw Shun throwing some emotions :-) 100% gotta watch the second one because this one was a blast. Battles, battles, battles, blood, blood, rain, friendship, devotion, justice... God, that was great! Eyes bulging out of my head, heart pounding, well, I was on fire :-D Just a good movie, where sometimes the camera annoyed me because I couldn't really see all the blows of whoever got hit... ()
