Nay, the boys at Suzuran command devotion of others by pummeling their rivals into the ground in a series of contests between the various gangs hoping to claim the top spot. The method of choice to gain respect and followers at this particular academy is not through the typical athletics or shameless popularity contests, however. The first two were guided by the crazy genius that is Takashi Miike (which is completely normal considering the premise), whereas this entry is shepherded by Toshiaki Toyoda.Ĭhronologically set between the first and second films, Explode follows the misadventures of an entirely new batch of students struggling to reign supreme on the grounds of Suzuran All-Boys High School. The Crows series - which began with 2007’s Crows Zero, was followed by 2009’s Crows Zero 2, and continued with Crows Explode – a special situation considering the change in directorial talent handling each entry.
Both come with their share of trials and tribulations, such as what to leave in, what to leave out, and what to change in order to smoothen the transition from the page to the silver screen. The live-action adaptation of manga properties in Japanese cinema is just as popular and frequent as Hollywood’s thirst to translate comic book tales originating from DC, Marvel, and lesser-known publishers in North America.
