best thing about this was the music

don't think this really added anything (to the film) that couldn't be done better with your own imagination

I really did love the OST "DAADAHDAADAAH!" it really pumped me up. Would have been really nice if they had a 2nd episode that described taking down Kakihara and his small gang but it's still very nice.

Same with me. Video is kind of stylish though, but too cheap and repeatable. Also anime has good moments, in total it is inferior at every point compared to manga.

Man I wish they'd adapt the manga, I really liked this prequel.

I was stunned when I saw that this was from the 2000s. I've had this DVD lying about for awhile and thought I'd finally watch it... I had always assumed this was from the 1980s with how poor the animation quality is and the awful dub job.

Yes. I watched the English dub... because that's really the only way to watch something this awful and schlocky.

I liked it. It certainly wasn't for everyone, but I thought it was a good examination of what turns a person into a sadistic killer.

I see where you got your inspiration from Dead Tube.

This was just super absurd for real.

The synopsis should have included " a guy who gets a b*ner by violence, a true sadist who even killed animals for pleasure". This was beyond me and the animation didn't compensate.

4/10.

It's been years since I've watched this by chance and now that I've finished reading the manga which I loved, I decided to give this a rewatch and it was as if I've never watched it before save for the opening.

I don't know if it's all in the prequel but it looked like they took a lot of liberties in changing things about Ichi's background since I barely recognized any of the scenes. It's a shame that there wasn't a full on adaptation of Ichi the Killer save for the movie but I guess that it's for the best.

Pretty good dementia for what it's worth. Loved the gritty early 2000's feel and the depravity if it all. Should've gotten a full anime series .
