This March, Medicom Toy is releasing Crows Zero figures based on the movie. The upcoming releases include Genji Takiya and Tamao Serizawa. I would pre-order as soon as possible as I guarantee these will not last.

This film rocks! This is Takashi Miike’s most commercial release to date and it also happens to be one of his finest. Great performances and classic Miike touches all around. I have trouble with most asian films trying to put out their renditions of “cool” characters, but this film’s turned me into a major fanboy. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself relating to one of the characters or crews and adopting their maneurysms (I personally am working on Genji). Super excited about the sequel on the way!
