There's been a bootleg of this out for a while now which is probably what the one on ebay is.

DAMMIT!! I should have guessed it was a bootleg for only $10. I guess this is another movie I will go without seeing.

I only skimmed though it and when I saw....
I'm no stranger to anime - in fact, I'm pretty experienced with it... This is the type of spectacle that Fist of the Northstar was. It seemed to me to be all gore and no brains. This is almost a fanservice movie I think. Fans of the manga will be grinning from ear to ear (like Kakihara).
.... I thought I was probably safe!

Good job there was no merger or closure of threads

Yeah I had to read through it twice because it was a little confusing, but when I say something mentioned about it being directed by Miike I figured it was the live action. I don't believe Miike directed the anime...but I think I read he voiced one of the characters...don't remember where I read that though.

Hmmm. I think 4 people have mentioned this is coming out in R2 -PAL- and I doubt 1 of them has read my post about not being able to play DVDs outside of R1.

I traded someone for the anime several months ago, and wasn't impressed by it. The animation is crap, and it isn't long enough to really do much storywise, far as I could tell. If you're an Ichi freak, then it's a must have for the collection, but otherwise you aren't missing much. Miike does the voice of Kakihara, which amounted to a couple screams, as he featured only very briefly in the anime.
