This post is full of boys and gay and Izaki and umbrellas and Izaki A.K.A. CROWS ZERO II
Initially, I'd lost some interest in CROWS ZERO and I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of downloading the movie, especially knowing that the quality was at a 5 (according to pirated DVD quality rating of Malaysia), but I caved and watched it on Mysoju the other day.
I really liked it, even more so than the original. Serizawa and emo!Izaki were still made of awesome. Genji still annoyed the hell out of me, even more so than usual. Makise was still a creepy, gross fucker. The Mikami Brothers convinced me that if ever Ouran were made into a Live-action drama, that they should play the Hiitachin Brother. Miura was awesome in the 17.3 second screen time he had (but I might just be biased like that) and the movie done convinced me that Kirishima harbours a ginormous crush on Izaki.
(Edited with new HQ images and additional commentary.)
We are introduced to the movie by a hot emo!Izaki .
Then there's the start of the boring fucking subplot with the guy who walks into a seemingly empty cemetery AND NOT NOTICE THE 500 BALD GUYS DRESSED IN WHITE STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM.
And the guy who was also in ROOKIES.
Then there's HBIC Serizawa who struts around without shoes not giving a fuck.
Even when he comes face to face with THIS. In the HQ image the tooth is so shiny you can almost see Serizawa in its reflection.
Obviously the strong guys walk around with umbrellas IN THE SUNLIGHT just because they can.
The severe parting is an obvious sign of badassery.
I don't like him. Firstly I don't like insert characters. Secondly, I don't like center partings. Thirdly, this guys always stands around and has the expression of someone who just took a very satisfying dump (and like he has a permanent crick in the neck).
Not to mention that the guy looks like he's been taking lessons in INTIMIDATING POSES in the self help book INTIMIDATING POSES 101: HOW TO SCARE YOUR ENEMIES WITHOUT EVEN DOING ANYTHING.
AND FAILED.
Then there's Serizawa again. Not doing anything but intimidating the fuck out of everyone notheless. Not to mention that he still doesn't give a crap.
Not since the middle ages has male bonding been so RAW and feral and naked.
I C U THERE HOLDING IN YOUR GUT!
O HAY MIURA
Obviously everyone wants a piece of Miura's fine ass.
Ryo is not happy by all the attention Tatsuya's getting.
O HAY IZAKI. I love that Izaki's being all cool with his black shades while chillin' with his Kouhai's who all OBVIOUSLY HAVE AN INTENSE CRUSH ON HIM.
Kirishima only frowns on the outside. What makes him pissed off is the fact that his awesome Super Saiya Jin sempai is willingly following Genji and his bad haircut.
While we're on the subject; Izaki + Kirishima = OTP number one.
Tokio + Mikami Brothers = OT3.
Love is the glue that holds they OT3 together /lame
Serizawa approves.
Izaki is in your high schools, stalking your leaders.
Tokaji doesn't like it.
But Izaki doesn't give a shit.
Serizawa is creeper smile approve.
O HAY MIURA Scene #2.
Some one tell me that he doesn't look like someone taking a dump? Maybe he's nervous prior to the big confession scene.
HOMO JANAI
That phrase will never, ever be the same no matter how serious the situation.
Lack of scenes or lines does not deter from Miura's beauty at all.
Or his insanely perfect jawline.
HOMO JANAI
HOMO JANAI
Severe Center Parting obviously has got it bad for BOTH the Bito brothers.
This part is both beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. I just really wanted to smack Genji during this scene.
Tokio does, then they have a rather intimate moment.
Serizawa doesn't like it.
AJBVCDHBFH SEE I TOLD YOU! Something vile in the air. DNW this guy ever.
Izaki goes, "Tomorrow...cumcome."
The everyone cowers in the light of Izaki's sheer, unadulterated awesome.
The next day, Izaki broods while looking like THIS.
Kirishima cumscomes
Then like a petulant child, he does the CROWS ZERO version of 'I came Izaki-san, but nya, nya, nya--Just kidding. I won't help your cootie infected loser crew. Watch my back while I leave, you know you want this!'
But Izaki's like 'Whatever. You'll be back.'
Do I even need to say anything anymore? I've taken like 20 caps of this guy and they all look like the guy's been copy & pasted onto different backgrounds.
Genji was obviously the author of the book INTIMIDATING POSES 101.
HOMO JANAI
Nice headgear, Tokio. And of course, it's the under appreciated pairing of CROWS ZERO. Tokaji's hatred for Izaki obviously stems from his unrequited love.
The Mikami Brothers approve.
"Genji. I know your penis is this big."
LOL random cap; while Genji was having his angst fest over the PA system, Serizawa was randomly standing in front of a BASKET OF UMBRELLAS!
But nevertheless, Serizawa still kicks ass.
No reason other than the fact that it's Miura kicking someone in the face.
Serizawa actually looks worried for Genji as they fight.
Tatsuya looks like he wants Genji to beat that little bitch down.
And random, MOST UNFORTUNATE cap ever in this world.
This guys' drama puts every single Bollywood death scene to absolute shame.
Tatsuya approves of this beat down, even though you can't tell.
Genji collapses dramatically into Serizawa's arms because he just wants to get some love.
Because like 10 minutes later he's absolutely fine. Even Serizawa noticed.
Bye Tatsuya. It's been a really awesome 43.7 second screen time.
If anything, Kirishima should be loved for his awesome WTF faces.
There was also some boring ass subplot involving the guy who started the Housen-Suzuran war in the first place, ignited it again then shot Genji's Yakuza boss father while the guy was peeing in a dark alley--
And the guy who constantly looks like someone just kicked his epileptic, three-legged puppy.
In conclusions, CROWS ZERO II, like Izaki, is made from sheer, unadulterated, 100 percent AWESOME. Despite Genji's hair.
