ichi 1 be the prequel to ichi the killer . it not the best movie in the world and but it a lot good than i think it would be . it about ichi in high school . he get bully and that when he start to go nuts . it get some great fight scene too . it also of course get a few nasty scene . the baseball scene be pretty disturb . the main problem i have with this movie though be the fact that there be no teacher at the school . i can not believe not one teacher stop any fight at school all those kid have . i do not see one teacher at all at the school period . i guess all the kid scar them off or something . ichi 1 be a low budget movie and but much good than most low budget movie i have see . it also get a bit of comedy in the movie too . the movie be all in japanese though and so unless you can speak japanese you will have to read the english subtitle . it worth check out if you like ichi the killer and but it might disappoint some people . i recommend rent it first . i give ichi 1 a positive .
