crows zero 2: the black bible is the sequel to the wildly popular crows zero, directed by the oh - so - prolific miike takashi. employing the same formula of bravado, fast - paced action, and school politics, it has got the word “masculine” streaked across the screen from the very beginning .
i love this movie, hope their making a third one... in god' s name i hope their making crows zero iii... .

several months after
crows: episode 0
trouble brews again when thugs known as
the army of killers
from rival high school hosen academy threaten suzuran high aka the school of crows .
one example is the hiroshi takahashi comic “crows, ” which ran for eight years from 1981 in shonen champion magazine and has sold 42 million copies in paperback editions. the takashi miike film “crows zero, ” based on the manga, grossed ¥2. 5 billion in 2007, becoming the prolific miike’s biggest - ever hit .
in crows zero, high school boys wear monochromatic black clothes, spike their hair into intimidating sculptures and adopt a similarly arrogant, threatening glare. they attack people from any direction, kicking and punching every vulnerable body part of their victims .
finally, the “wow” factor also seems to be missing. in the prequel, crows zero is every bit as cartoony as this movie, but it still has incredible fight scenes and an even more incredible final fight scene that culminates into a heart - pumping climax. crows zero 2 however, does not. the fight between serizawa and ryo urushibara, which had been foreshadowed earlier in the movie, is incredibly lacklustre and the final fight between genji and narumi is not befitting of a “final” fight .
meanwhile, terra formars fans can look forward to the live - action film adaptation, which is being directed by takashi miike (ace attorney, crows zero). it’s set to premiere in 2016 and will star hideaki ito (sukiyaki western django) .
, online. from all the editors here at the crows x worst wiki, thank you for your contributions .
crows zero is definitely a pleasure to watch but it’s not something that one would like to go through a second time. even though manga artist takahashi was so happy with the movie that he is looking forward to the sequel, this urbanwire writer begs to differ .
search at google for crows zero 3: back to school. . it' s juz a random story that i came across when searching for the information for cz3. . it might be true, might be a hoax. . go look for it. .
it was stated that crows explode happened one month after 23rd class graduation, but due to the lack of characters from crows (with an exception of makoto and rindaman), it is unknown if the movie itself considered canon or not .

the people of manipur a state in north east india is getting crazy after the crow zero and genji' s dress and are waiting tirelessly for then next part .
the school is considered one of the big four of toarushi, the town and primary setting of the crows x worst series .
crows zero is released on dvd from mvm on 9th april. the transfer on my copy wasn’t particularly great. you get a bit of a pulsing image throughout due to a poor frame rate conversion and the image isn’t as clear as it could be. audio is strong, but there are no special features .
considering the experience that director takashi miike has in the genre of violent film, such as the very controversial ichi the killer, it’s no surprise that crows zero has excellent cinematography. carefully selected camera angles show off the impact and swiftness of their attacks, while the dull colours of the film emphasise grungy masculinity .
“crows: episode 0″ turns out to be one of the better manga adopted live action movies made to date. there’s definitely miike’s wild stamp placed in the movie, while his other stamp … the ability to defy categorization is just as evident. after it’s all said and done, it seems miike making a big budget film is just as impressive as miike making a cutting edge low - budget cult film. oh if you wondering about the episodic nature of the comic and that finale…get ready for “crows zero 2″ in 2009. “crows: episode 0″ is just a whole lot of fun .
port adelaide is also investigating claims that its own player paddy ryder was subject to racial taunts from an adelaide crows spectator during the showdown .
damn! i love this movie! its amazing! all the characters from crows zero 1 are back... plus miura haruma! so damn cute! im glad genji & serizawa are team up together... and oh! rindaman, finally he tasted the big punch of genji. . brilliant fight !
sorry
i forgot yesterday. takayuki yamada, he is the excellence actor who is equal to the shun oguri
or different in his style or action... he can be in hollywood' s lead... i wish i see him in a big budget movie by hollywood producer by takayuki yamada playing the lead... and in crows zero and crows zero 2, everyone who are in film they are 100% more than hollywood actors... go to hollywood better do in good quality high definition camera' s with original graphics like qualioty i say hope you will get a nice director and producer in future
i can' t believe this movie isn' t going to come out in america. crows zero was bomb! !! and now shun oguri and miura haruma are together again but on the big screen! i think i' m going to have to fly out to japan just to catch this movie! ! !

then, the reason for the reunion was disclosed when washio gota asked all 11 crows to go into the meeting room. everybody bows when the 1st gen. crow – the now head of a big yakuza family makoto goki steps into the meeting room except for of course, those two... genji (who then received a punch from his father) and serizawa. they were later apologized by goki - san (goki ,
new generations forget the culture easily
). it was then revealed that the meeting was called by the ebizuka junior trio (who are now the 2nd year) who found out bout the crows from the school' s enrollment file. . the leader of the trio, kirishima introduced the 11 crows to each other as the earlier generations (the original 5 crows) are not aware with the other late generation crows ...
for the producer _ sama & the director _ sama... ... why don' t you make crows zero flash back when serizawa & tokio still new boy, how serizawa become famous & called king of beast, how kawanishi rules suzuran, how them become enemy with housen & many others... .... ?? ? off course we cannot forget genji story in another school beffore he came to suzuran... ...... like we all know, the most favorit person in this movie is takiya genji & tamao serizawa... ...... . i' m sure it will be great & got much positive respons... ...... ... crows zero (the beginning of the war )
like yasu said, go read the manga... it pretty much picks up at the very start of the new year of school (eg. sugihara makato, kirishimi hiromi and honjou toshiaki = the first year trio from crows zero i & ii are now second year students) dont get me wrong, i would love to see a 3rd crows movie but even if one was to be made, i doubt it will follow the suzuran school... crows zero was meant to be the untold story of a bunch of guys that used to go to suzuran, and werent in the manga... now that genji and co. graduated, theres nothing else to tell besides from what is already being told in the manga maybe they could make a movie focusing on housen or even the front of armament... besides, all that' build up' for tatsuya bitou was meant to stay faithful to the manga... his in the manga too btw just a thought
although the opening of
crows zero
promises a swift gangland massacre carried over two hours of screentime, the material is more interested in acts of strategy, observing the gangs figure out the best possible route to potential allegiances and school dominance. this is not a tale of war, electing a more introspective route when expressing the concerns of the thugs. beneath the hair products and tough guy accouterments, there' s a sensitivity in play that prevents
crows zero
from taking flight. these shifts in concentration can be jarring, especially in the case of tokio, a friend to both genji and tamao, who encounters a life - threatening medical situation in the middle of the film, introducing soap opera atmosphere to an otherwise hardened feature. miike shows difficulty managing the speeds of drama, which ends up destroying the natural pace of the picture .
crows zeros
has a tendency to be all over the place with its characterizations, suffocating what appear to be sincere asides with troubled personalities .
the many characters and subplots, including genji’s tempestuous romance with a punk - club singer (meisa kuroki) and his troubled relationship with his gang - boss dad (goro kishitani), may be hard to keep up with unless you have seen the first film. like many screen adaptations of long - running manga series, “crows zero ii” crams in too much in trying to please the manga’s legion of fans .
miike ’s works, for the most part, have never really been about material. his eccentric, constraint - free approach in the director’s chair often results in sleek, idiosyncratic products which epitomize the concept of style over substance. however, in crows zero 2, there isn’t much originality past the manga setting and its over - the - top fight scenes. miike is all too glad to use a cornucopia of clichés, including “lone man against hundreds. ” let’s face it, no self - respecting viewer is going to take this movie seriously and miike ‘s adamant attempts to evoke pathos in the movie result in a disjointed and incongruous shift from a shounen manga - esque presentation to something out of soap weekly. it is miike ’s contradictory (and extremely obnoxious) approach that is crows zero 2 ’s biggest underlying flaw .
bouya harumichi is a new transfer student to suzuran all - boys high school, a place where only the worst delinquents assemble. due to its large amount of delinquents who are hated by the general people for their inauspiciousness, similarily to crows, it is also known as
crows high school
. harumichi is an insanely strong fighter but has a irresponsible personality, how will he act in this new environment where every one is a deliquent? there are 3 extra manga stories related to this series. crows is a prequel to worst .
see below) on each of the 19 consecutive study days, first for all 33 crows, and then separately for the northern and southern communities (here each community was treated as an ‘isolated' group with its own duration matrix d). the degree of a crow on a given day is the number of other tagged crows it encountered (at the specified rssi
), the mean duration was scaled by the average value in the first seven baseline days (1. 07 min for all crows, 0. 55 min for the northern and 5. 79 min for the southern community). molecular analysis of crows' blood samples (see ‘study site and subject attributes') generated a binarized matrix g of first - order relatedness

( 5: 41, sd) sits down with the legendary filmmaker for a brief chat about

miike doesn' t seem very comfortable with a position of self - explanation and directorial analysis, stumbling through his thoughts on creative intent and manga inspiration. again, it' s a short discussion about the movie, valuable only for its chance to study the man in motion .

). we estimate that these 42 birds constitute over 80% of the local crow population during our study period. we note that these crows are likely to be a nonrandom sample, as neophobic individuals that were wary of approaching trapsites (and may also have avoided our experimental manipulations) are less likely to have been included. all trapped crows were blood - sampled (for molecular sexing
while
crows zero
slowly drains of urgency, miike attempts to restore a clenched - fist attitude with the grand finale, staging a massive gang war that eats up nearly 20 minutes of screen time. it' s too little too late in terms of revitalizing the effort, but the climatic display of rage is diverting enough to hold attention, nicely ornamented with smashmouth fight choreography that keeps the boys concentrated on exhaustive, never - back - down beatings (a theme of the movie). of course, this aggression is preceded by frightening medical diagnoses, two incidents of premature ejaculation, a scene of human bowling (a flash of pure fantasy in a film that could use more of it), and numerous cries of forgiveness .
crows zero
packs a lot into its run time, but rarely does it come together as the carnival ride experience miike is shooting for .
as all empirically recorded daily networks contained both strongly connected individuals and more weakly connected or isolated ones, it follows that indomains (and outdomains) should vary according to which crow was the seed individual on a given day. we did indeed find substantial variation in our simulations: for example, depending on the seed chosen, outdomains averaged over b days ranged from 1 to 3. 7 crows, and from 1 to 11. 5 crows for e2 days. to allow conclusions about network properties across all nodes, we averaged indomain size over all crows and replicates to produce the measure
, the mean indomain size of a given group of crows on a given day, which serves as a proxy for the information - carrying capacity of the observed network. as might be expected ,
there is deffinately a crows zero iii movie, everyone relax. why else do you think they would set up all that potential with haruma? the first movie was a test... people liked it, so they made / are making two more. these movies make me crazy, why can' t i go to school there too ?
there' s nothing wrong with being a crow .

takashi miike has had an insanely diverse and prolific career, with 88 directing titles under his belt in only 21 years (according to imdb). these have ranged from his more famous fucked up, twisted work like audition and visitor q to his recent samurai epic 13 assassins and family friendly fare such as his forthcoming ace attorney (based on the popular video game series). crows zero is certainly one of his more mainstream films, although it has its share of dark edges .

he and his allies defeat the school’s most powerful gang, led by the long - haired tamao serizawa (takayuki yamada), but in a mano - a - mano contest, genji falls to linderman (motoki fukami), a curly - haired loner giant who is the school’s strongest fighter. “crows zero” has its moments of comic relief, but many more scenes of all - in brawling, strobed like the battle scenes in “saving private ryan” and accompanied by a hard - rock score .
crows zero
requires the utmost in viewer concentration, though it never quite earns such devotion. an adaptation of hiroshi takahashi' s best - selling manga, the feature is blizzard of names and motivations, creating an ideal sensation of screen immersion for fans of the original work, while outsiders are left to question the half - realized subplots and wild tonal changes. it' s not a terribly interesting motion picture, though the effort has been dutifully colored by the insanely prolific director takashi miike (in the time i took the write this sentence, he just made another movie), who brings a loaded sense of style and intermittent blasts of ultraviolence to the idiosyncratic film. the helmer flexes his visual muscles on occasion, slapping the screen with chaotic fight choreography and exaggerated character designs, but he' s oddly powerless when it comes to the glacial pace of
crows zero ,
unable to bring it up to the awe - inspiring speed a few superlative scenes hint at .
the suzuran senior high school for boys, nicknamed
the school of crows
, is the poorest achieving, most violent school in the country. the students are called
crows
and they band together in factions, battling each other for influence and power. but they all share a common goal... one that has never been reached in the school' s history: unification. no one faction has ever reigned supreme .
due to his stubborn rivalry with rindaman whom he could never defeat, genji did not unite the crows school. he was still recognized as the
captain
of suzuran' s forces during their assault on housen academy .

crowz zero ii ,
a sequel to hit film
crows zero
release on dvd & blu - ray! director takashi miike is again in its director' s chair. plot: 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! also stars haruma miura as tatsuya bitou, the strongest man at housen gakuen .
while
crows zero
carries a heavy storyline that doesn' t stimulate the moviegoing senses, there' s quite a display of style here to help paint the conflicts in primary colors. the suzuran school is made up of various gangs and outlaws, each class maintaining a uniform look to spotlight their coolness and commitment. miike introduces a leather jacket mentality to the costuming that helps the actors to triumphantly peacock around, showing off their outlandish hairstyles and detailed costuming, generating attitudes and levels of threat without a line of dialogue uttered .
crows zero
is actually highly amusing to watch at times, especially when the action cranks up and takes full advantage of miike' s stylistic choices, enjoying the retro rockabilly push of pompadours and sneers rubbing against a modern twinge of tracksuits and popped collars. the look of the film is superb, but only in bits. miike strangely holds back from pure insanity, slowly growing to love these characters, which tempers the beguiling eccentricity the first half of the film is quick to embrace .
the crows are back... . and this time they have a common enemy, a rival school plotting to bring them down. genji has to bring all gangs of suzuran together, only then he will be truly respected as a leader. its great to see the character of genji mature as he realises beating everyone up alone doesn' t make you a leader. all old characters from the first movie are back, and a bunch of new ones too forming the rival gang. action is great... .. style is cool... . and background music is just perfect. a good sequel. a great ride. fans of the first part wont be disappointed looking forward to crows zero 3, if it ever happens .
moving on, the characters themselves make up an integral part of crows zero 2. oguri shun does a decent portrayal of genji, the stereotypically truculent and silent main character. particularly commendable is takayuki yamada ’s performance as serizawa, who nails the character’s aloof charm quite well. the other characters, particularly those from hosen, like ryo urushibara and tatsuya mito, played by gou ayano and haruma miura respectively, were laughable. these actors have the thespian ability of a wooden mop. thank them for providing several notable unintentional moments of hilarity .
adapted from the outrageous manga by hiroshi takahashi, this sequel to crows zero continues the story of takiya genji, the son of a powerful yakuza boss who transfers to the gang - ridden suzuran all - boys high school with one goal in mind: unite the school' s many, warring gangs under one banner, and prove to his father that he can handle the family business. unfortunately, he has some competition in the form of serizawa tamao, a gang leader also known as
king of the beasts .
~ cammila albertson, rovi
in the sequel, “crows zero ii, ” again directed by miike, the boys from suzuran are back, but this time they have a new rival, the white - uniformed students from another institution of higher punkery, kosen high school. the kosen punks are after a suzuran alum, the lanky kawanishi (shinnosuke abe), who fatally knifed a kosen leader in a dust - up two years earlier. released from a reformatory, kawanishi finds a kosen horde waiting for him and narrowly escapes a lynching by fleeing to the protection of his suzuran juniors .
i kind of liked this, but it kept knocking itself down a few marks as it went along. once you get past the flimsy premise and goofy humour and accept that crows zero is a film for teenage boys and not one to critically analyse in any depth, there is a fair amount to enjoy. the action is solid and fairly plentiful for one. although clearly aimed at a younger audience, it’s brutally violent at times, with the fight scenes, although occasionally enhanced by effects, generally kept visceral and fast - cut without losing a sense of what is happening .
i must admit, being american and from massachusetts of all places, i didn' t get to catch wind of the
crows
mythology until i was walking around one of the local malls and saw the dvd on the rack. something about how oguri and yamada, just stood out and i dropped the twenty bucks, cuz hey, i' d spent twenty dollars on far worse things. so i take this dvd home, pop it in and now nothing else i own really matters. i' v even been able to master the diologue in the movie in both english and japanese, lol. i am anxiously awaited crows zero 2, so much so that i fear i may have to pull a takiya and start kicking the crap out of random ppl in the halls of my school. god i love japan .

. kitsch, kunst und kampfgemetzel in einem film rocken zu lassen - das kann eben nur takashi miike. an der suzuran boys high school gibt es offensichtlich nie unterricht, hier geht es nur darum, wer der herrscher über suzuran ist. der so brutale wie gerissene tamao serizawa (takayuki yamada), gang - leader und herrscher über suzuran, wird von allen gefürchtet - bis ihn eines tages ein neuer schüler herausfordert. was serizawa nicht weiß: sein neuer gegner genji (shun oguri) ist der sohn eines yakuza - bosses - und um vaters erbe antreten zu können, muss er diese härteste aller high schools japans erobern. dass er das mit allen mitteln versucht, ist so unabdingbar wie, dass aus einer läppischen schulhofprügelei ein wilder, wahnsinniger krieg entbrennt. amasia - the finest art of asian movies. urltoken
time and again, we have seen this kind of reaction. it happened two weeks ago when brad gallaway of urltoken thumbed down horizon: zero dawn and, to his credit, acknowledged he didn' t finish the game, either. what in the final 12 hours of content would change his mind about the first 18, anyway .
the crows school is once again divided into factions fighting for control, with the names sajima yousuke and miyamoto sanmon being noted as the only obstacles standing in between complete dominance over suzuran. miyamoto sanmon reigns as the school' s strongest man in his third year .
u know what i want. i want to see genji, serizawa kazeo the 3 big bosses in crows 4. i want to see their fight with housen high school the story of the litle brother of the dead guy. i want kazeo fight with tatsuya - the litle bro, genji vs ryu urushibara, serizawa vs narumi san, izaki vs tokaji, shibata vs fujiwara, tokio vs wasio gota, ryohei vs his uncle kawanishi, the black dynamite and mikami bros vs ebizuka junior high trio - makoto, hiromi and toshiaki - the 3 guys who have a deny izaki san, goura vs the bald guy from himself army, and of course i want to see chuta, and the best friend of kazeo in crows 3 i forgot his name. . i want kawanishi, wasio gota, fujiwara, and the bald guy from crows 3 be the traitors. and i want after the fight housen and suzuran and kurosaki will be friends. also i dont want to see makise, ken san and rindaman in crows 4 and i think it will be great like that
this is where takashi miike and sukiyaki western django comes into play. there is nothing like an up - and - coming director and a quirky flick to cement his place as a credible actor. shun has turned out to be miike' s muse somewhat (banish the gigolo - wannabe thoughts) and was impressive again in crow' s zero .
. we used two approaches to explore the role of relatedness in shaping daily association networks. the first was to correlate the association matrix for all crows for each day of the baseline period (days 1–7) with matrix g. we used standard mantel matrix correlation tests for this, with the pearson correlation coefficient as the test statistic. to test the hypothesis that the correlation coefficient was greater than expected by chance, we used a stratified node permutation test in which node labels of crows from the northern community (and from the southern community) were shuffled only among themselves
i agree there won' t be a third movie, but actually the crows manga takes place 2 years after the second movie, as the trio are in third year there. so, in theory, there could be room for 1 more year between the movie and the manga .
at 5 min, reflecting the modal duration of empirically observed encounters. each crow in turn was chosen as the information seed. our measure of information flow is the size of the ‘indomain'; for crow j, this is the number of seed crows from which crow j could have received the hypothetical piece of information by day' s end. we ran 1, 000 simulations per starting crow per day and plotted the daily indomain size averaged over the 1, 000 simulations and over all crows, those in the northern community, and those in the southern one (

in “crows: episode one” genji (shun oguri) is a new transferee at the notorious suzuran high aka the school of crows. suzuran high is noted, with good reason, to be the roughest of rough high schools in japan. with that kind of reputation, it’s obvious genji didn’t transfer to suzuran to receive a better education. rather, his father hideo promised genji he could succeed him as the crime boss of the ryuseikai yakuza gang if he is able to take leadership over suzuran high. thus genji begins enrollment at suzuran high with one goal in mind: to become the school’s undisputed leader .

to explore how our observed dynamic networks could support information flow, we implemented simulations following the basic rationale of ‘susceptible infectious' compartment models of disease transmission 30. in each simulation run, one crow was chosen to be the source of a novel piece of information at the start of a day; all others were naive. information could only spread from an informed to a naive individual if they had a close - range encounter on that day. all informed crows remained informed, and could therefore act as potential spreaders, for the rest of the day. at the end of the day, informed crows were listed. in subsequent runs, each crow in turn was chosen as the ‘seed' for the daily information flow, which again could only occur during the observed encounters between crows on the chosen day. to measure simulated information spread during a day, we counted the number of seeds from which each crow could have received information (that is, its ‘indomain'), which gives similar counts to the ‘outdomain', the number of crows ultimately informed by each seed. as information transfer was modelled stochastically (see methods), we repeated the simulation 1, 000 times for each seed on each day .
crows zero is a manga adaptation about factions of students fighting for control of a japanese high school. not exactly a new idea, as every other anime and manga is about that very subject. but that' s not what made crows so uninteresting to me, i' ve previously enjoyed many movies and shows with similar plots. my issues with the movie were that i never felt any connection to the characters, and couldn' t care less about what happened to them. add that to the unremarkable fight scenes, and you' ve got a recipe for
meh
. i did appreciate the sporadic humor, but that quickly (and unfortunately) faded away as the movie progressed. die - hard fans of the manga may want to check this out, but i can' t recommend that anyone else go out of their way to see it. if you want to see high school students beating each other to a pulp, there are much better (and more exciting) options .
so when outsiders complain of a toxic culture in video gaming, movie or comic book fandom, i agree, but not because of the usual suspects. i think of the zero - sum mentality that makes everything in the subject into a horse race. hell, we ran a recap of a single episode of the walking dead today that ended with a winners and losers roundup, after all .

crows zero
is actually a prequel to takahashi' s original work, with the production looking to create an origin story for the misfits before their adventures take to the page. keeping with the insider feel of the production, miike (who' s worked in the field before, most notably with 2001' s

crows zero
isn' t impossible to follow, but it takes a certain frequency of fandom to correctly tune in to the double - crosses, plans of revenge, and haunted interpersonal relationships that make up the majority of the picture. miike keeps the effort clouded with hazy backstories and intentions, forming a bizarre mix of hostility, slapstick comedy, and melodrama - - a nuanced brew created primarily for those who' ve already developed a taste for the material and the director. simplicity isn' t essential when approaching this community of gangsters and hallway bruisers, but there' s no entry point for the casual viewer, rendering the film specialized product for a specialized audience. while there' s nothing inherently wrong with that approach, it dilutes the fun for those on the other side of the fence wishing they could join the wild party miike is throwing with his gifted ensemble.
