The way the characters and locations are designed & presented feels even more stylized and over the top than before. Aside from that the story follows the same formula as before - nothing special here. The story works even if the characters aren't as defined as in the previous Crows movies.

Admittedly none of them sticks out the way Genji Takiya did but they don't need to. Compared to its predecessors 'Crows Explode' sticks more to the manga source material and presents a wider array of characters.

The combination of Toyoda and Crows works perfectly and results in a Crows movie that really feels like a fresh take the material. They show a very unique, if stylized, filmic portrayal of the high school delinquent topic. I really enjoyed the previous Crows movies and Toyoda's 'Blue Spring'. Even more so when it was clear that Toshiaki Toyoda will be in the director's chair. When I heard the news about a new Crows movie I was excited. It was also adapted into a manga entitled Crows Zero II: Suzuran x Housen by Crows author Hiroshi Takahashi, with individual chapters published in Bessatsu Shonen Champion magazine.I am gonna come right out and say it: 'Crows Explode' is my favorite entry in the Crows-franchise. The film was followed by a sequel, Crows Explode, in 2014. He also understands why his Suzuran toughs fight as easily as they breathe - itвЂ™s not just a release for their raging hormones, but a way of being with their friends and telling the world they exist.' Sequels & Adaptations The fighting scenes are still a blast to behold too, with strong, intense and action-driven camera work and some tight editing to keep the adrenaline flowing.' Likewise, Mark Schilling of The Japan Times gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars, saying, 'Miike directs with an energy, velocity and cheeky bravado that are pure punk. Maybe not as many landmark shots, but the dense and graffiti-laden backgrounds make for a tasty looking film alright. Niels Matthijs of Twitch Film gave it a positive review, saying, 'Visually Crows Zero II is still looking incredibly slick. Reviews of the film were generally positive. The film grossed US$29,893,636 worldwide.

Motoki Fukami - Rindaman / Hayashida Megumi.

Genji and his allies go on the defensive, engaging in several violent conflicts with Housen's 'Army of Killers'. Genji's protection of Kawanishi provokes Housen's current leader, Narumi Taiga (Nobuaki Kaneko), to declare war against Suzuran.

Suzuran had subsequently sworn not to interfere with Housen's retribution upon Noboru's release from prison. Genji learns that the agreement between the two schools was established two years prior when, during a skirmish, Noboru violated a gang law and used a weapon to fatally wound Housen's former leader, BitЕЌ Makio.

His situation escalates when he unwittingly breaks a non-aggression pact between Suzuran and a rival school, Housen Academy, by coming to the aid of Kawanishi Noboru (Shinnosuke Abe) during a heated confrontation. He begins challenging Rindaman regularly, but consistently fails to beat him. Following a decisive defeat at the hands of the legendary Rindaman, and on the verge of graduating without fulfilling his goal, Genji grows quietly desperate. 8 months after triumphing over Serizawa Tamao (Takayuki Yamada), Takiya Genji (Shun Oguri) still struggles to attain supremacy at Suzuran All-Boys High School.
