"The fool. Sees the glint of money and throws all caution to the wind. That's the problem with men who can see." Ichi goes full vigilante superhero and it's excellent. Cinematography on a new level for this series. I mean there's no way this is 1964. A vibrant, grainy color palette elevates this series visually to a level we haven't seen yet.

Ichi alone in that pitch black backdrop, poetically mowing down hoards of enemies. Straight up CINEMA. It looks like something out of a James Bond film. It's our familiar story of greed; government corruption and oppression of the marginalized folks. But also an interesting side quest for Ichi to overcome as well. Whether it's do
