Overview:	A world-exclusive anime companion to the infamous hyper-violent Japanese psychological thriller "Ichi The Killer", this animated feature, penned by original series creator Hideo Yamamoto, is significantly more shocking and controversial than its live-action counterpart. Shamelessly underpinned with glorious blood-splattered battles and sadistic sexual debauchery, the "fun for all the family" ethos has been emphatically "thrown out the window" to make way for a disturbing, visceral and often savage kaleidoscope of rampant comic book violence. Tracing the genesis of Ichi's inner rage and detailing the previously untouched history of his schooldays and interaction with his parents, this joyfully excessive anime provides a unique insight into the main themes of the live-action adventure, in much the same way as "The Animatrix" illuminated the origins of the much-celebrated "Matrix" trilogy. Fans will delight in the fact that Takashi Miike, the director of "Ichi The Killer" (live action) and "Audition", provides the voice for the pivotal character of Kakihara.
