Ichi the Killer [Koroshiya 1][殺し屋1]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the biggest Ichi the Killer fans in the world --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For live action films, I recommend watching 1-Ichi (2003), before watching Ichi the Killer (2001). You can watch Koroshiya 1 The Animation: Episode 0 (2002) before, or after, being that it is anime and not a live-action. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For manga, I recommend you read "1 (1993)" by Yamamoto, Hideo before you read "Koroshiya 1" (1998) by the same artist. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For manga and film juxtapostion: "1" (1993 - manga) takes place around the time of "1-Ichi" (2003 - live-action). "Koroshiya 1" (1998 - manga) takes place around the same time as "Ichi the Killer" (2001 - live-action). "Koroshiya 1 The Animation: Episode 0" (2002), takes place between both timelines. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ichi's real name is Shiroishi, Hajime [城石 一] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
