What they share
Both films are directed by Shinji Ishihira, and they sit in Animation territory. If that's the register that drew you to Final Fantasy VII: On the Way to a Smile - Episode Denzel, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Ichi the Killer: Episode Zero is
Tokyo night. A dripping faucet. Tortured dreams plague a young man. A lifetime of bullying, abuse, and degradation coalesce into a singular purpose. He will become vengeance incarnate. Takashi Miike fans can dial back to the source.
