Viewing Notes

Recently got this dvd to add to my Tak Sakaguchi collection. Thought I hadn’t seen it but when it started up I recalled the story and sure enough I did view this 4 years via a Netflix rental. It’s goofy like a comical take on Crows Zero but Tak is excellent. Tho as the director he probably doesn’t consider this a comedy as the back half is all p serious when the competition begins.

Couple final notes: this is my favorite look of Tak. His entire appearance is perfect. Second, this is one of the best looking DVDs I’ve seen. If you didn’t know you’d think this was a Blu. Wish all my DVDs had transfers this nice.
