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.

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...

And again, that Takashi Miike. How he manages to shoot some cool scenes, no one would be ashamed of it. His final fight is pumped up, both in terms of stylization and thanks to the actors, and ultimately thanks to everything else - the attention, which is not as fast as the angles, which are well thought out, and the music, which is mind-blowing. I have a feeling that I haven't used the word mind-blowing yet, so I hope this is the only opportunity I have done so.
