Comments

heikousen Dec 18 2021 5:31 pm story, okay.. fight scenes, meh.. characters, boring (mc does not have genji or serizawa's charisma).. tbh I'm not disappointed because this movie sucks and it didn't received love from the CxW community, it didn't ruin CZ1 and CZ2 for me.. I'm disappointed because it's not bouya or hana's story LOL. but for real if explode turns out to be good like the first two movies (I mean first two movies was great) they might actually continue until tsukishima hana story, but nah~ too bad.

watch at your own risk. rating: 4/10 (I'm being generous)

John Aug 30 2019 7:43 am So I'm after watching Crows 1 & 2, I Decided to read the Crows + Worst Manga after, and when this movie came out I was really hoping to see Bouya or some sort of connection to the build up but sadly it just wasn't there.

-Too many new characters -Should've used the Original Manga Characters -Should've made a relating plot to the manga

Make another movie please or finish the Anime its so good !!

Rating : 2/10

101 Feb 24 2018 2:55 pm to the haters-this movie was more of a side story. 2, original characters start to graduate. 3, if the series continue, than it will follow the manga with crows x worst. overall it was not that bad of a movie and if you watch it, it explains things that have happened and things that are to come. for those that do not know... first 3 movies didn't turn into a manga till later. the original manga is crows followed by crows x worst.

Benolic Jun 26 2017 4:55 am I was expecting Ebuzika trio to be there...

Yung Delinquent Apr 28 2017 5:37 pm Crows Explode didn't explode. This s--t diffused my spirit after watching the whole thing. Honestly, the story just made no sense as it doesn't fit anywhere with the actual Crows and Worst timeline. I can only assume it CE is just a spin-off or another version of Crows, but it doesn't change the fact that it was trash. The Ebizuka Trio should have been there, Bouya Harumichi should have been there, the Front of Armament should have-- None of the original characters that's supposed to come through ain't there. Instead we get knock-off characters, a protagonist with half to no emotions with a fucking confusing motive, and a fucked up Crows cinematic timeline. I'm glad Ken's still doing just fine and Makise isn't a climaxing gorilla like in the last two films so that's good character development. Shows that he's matured so I'm glad for that.

2/10 - At least Rindaman is doing alright.

koala Oct 23 2016 1:08 pm I am not really expecting much from this movie, and of course the first 2 movies is better. I just cant help but laugh from the previous comments here. They were expecting to see Shun & Yamada here? I was actually looking for Bouya and the gang!

czlover Aug 29 2016 1:41 pm Dont waste your precious time on this f booring movie... 1&2 are gold... This one suck real bad...

jun Jun 30 2016 4:25 am masahiro higashide just didn't fit in this movie :\

Amitamin Jun 01 2016 8:08 pm Whaaaaat??? I was expecting Tamao Serizawa and Takiya Genji in this movie.. I feel so disappointed. Totally disappointed. Yes, I really hope that there'll be another Crows Zero with Takayuki Yamada and Shun Oguri as the actors..

Kemem Mar 19 2016 4:55 am make CZ 1 2 3 to CZ 4 make all character to cz 4 i want to see takiya genji (shun oguri) and tamao serizawa (takayuki yamada) please make in happen

blablabla Mar 07 2016 3:05 am ce 3 so boring . boring character . not survive . crows zero 1 and 2 is the best

Kazuki Jan 23 2016 9:42 am I wish they make crow zero 4 the old cast is joining together

Yujufan Dec 23 2015 1:16 pm As a fan of the series, this movie just sucked. Yes it sucked. It was making no sense at times - like who the hell were those girl, guy and the kids Kazeo visited? What was the point of existence of them? etc. etc.

Even the fights paled in comparison to the previous movies. I wouldn't recommend watching this movie tbh It's just not worth it. The best characters were Ken and Shibata tbh

German4NIA Aug 13 2015 3:36 pm (Forward ; sorry for my Bad english) Well the Movie was not bad. I really loved Ken and i was happy to ses him again. The Main Characters were not really in the Main and sometimes Kazso was more like an Guest Actor. Hope there will be a 4th Movie with Genji and Serizawa as "Seniors"

Freedom Aug 06 2015 6:47 am I agree with all the comments. Was expecting so much of this movie, since I enjoyed 1 and 2. The only person I loved in this, was Ken. You have to admit, Ken is awesome lol Megumi Hayashida (Rinda Man) is my favorite, but GOD he needed more parts!!!! The main characters weren't as strong as the past main characters. Another question. Where tf were the "Trio" Love the siblings, hopefully there will be a Crows Zero 4 coming out soon.

kushiki Jun 09 2015 9:06 am i was quiet disappointed :( the guys looked weak and the fights were not like crows zero 1&2 .... beside i was expecting to see Genji but ! so broken ...... tbh Genji is more good looking than kazeo -;-

Ian May 28 2015 6:17 am Is there any continuation of crows movie? like harumichi bouya

tomo taka May 25 2015 10:47 pm My apology to all the fans,explode a complete fizzer really hurt you..forget about it, but you can gain the upcoming dynamic,flamboyant,charismatic character (genji),i'm sure you hope to enjoy the show!!!

crows zero fan May 05 2015 11:01 am Crows zero 1 and 2 are the best school fighting movie ever. People talking about these movies for years and it bring lots of influence to people. Ive seen lots of fans wannabe genji, serizawa and other. But this crows explode is very upsetting, the characters are very weak. I dont even remember the character name. The hero of this movie looks stone, no style, not rugged, not gengster and less smoking cigrette. What kind of gengster he is? A nerd? No body will influence by him. No one will follow his ugly hair style. Luckily this is not crows zero 3 but crows explode. Crows zero 3 should be bouya harumichi. We all wish this movie is direct by crows zero 1 director.

Harumichi Bouya Mar 04 2015 6:56 am Why did't they just make the movie on Harumichi bouya or hanamichi. It would have been a lot better

parko Jan 07 2015 3:23 am I think only goura and kazeo can survive in this school if this character take place in crow zero era.

Tetsu-kun Dec 22 2014 1:44 pm wish crows 4 would be released. GPS and Serizawa's group combine with Kazeo's gang go to war with a revenge seeking yakuza clan planning to destroy Suzuran as an act of revenge

amien ashraf Dec 05 2014 11:08 pm Where does suzuran high school building actually located?

Raito Nov 30 2014 1:29 am I have seen both Crows Zero 1 and 2 and I can say that this movie is still good to watch. Just don't expect much. See for your self and judge. Haven't watch the anime and read the manga though.

Johannes Nov 29 2014 10:02 am I think better i didn't watch. This isn't crows zero 3, just another story

stupid director Nov 29 2014 3:14 am f*ckin dissappointment, seriously like a dog shit. mediocre acting combined with stupid director. and what the f*ck with that weak punch and light kick they throwing around? make me wonder if they are fighting or actually making out?

Z'oX Nov 23 2014 12:22 am Why Hayato kakizawa not mentioned??

Haris Hidayat Nov 20 2014 1:48 am If you can later kazeo genji upcoming opponent , Crows Zero / Explode 4

MANERAZ Nov 15 2014 1:34 pm I wish Serizawa' Army & GPS will be back in part 4 as Housen School is there to Revenge yet

naoki993 Nov 12 2014 5:22 pm This Crows directed by Toyoda is still good on his different ways.Its obvious to understand the work of two different directors won't be same.They have their ways of making films.Though Miike Crows will always be a legend.But I wouldn't compare the previous 2 crows with crows explode cause we all know,genji,serizawa and most of the favourite characters graduated in crows zero 2.This explode is a new era but follow the same theme from the 2 previous crows with new characters which seems..okay but not as cool as the previous crows.Though its great to know Toyoda still brought the crows back atleast and a true fan of crows like me would highly appreciate it instead of complainting.crows explode took place between previous crows and the real character from the manga takes place.So its not a bad movie after all.Just don't keep your expectations so high and this movie works.For most people,this movie failed because they expect too high that's why.If you still like gang,badboy,highschool boys fight, kicking each others butt to get the top.This movie is for you.

VJ Nov 07 2014 4:50 am Whatever the response is for the movie I still want to watch the CROWS ZERO (IV)

Vin Nov 05 2014 7:47 am Unbelievable!

Just saw it and the storyline was terrible. The storyline is RIGHT THERE in the manga (Bandou vs Ebizuka Trio vs Rindaman)!! Why make a new one that has no ties with the original story? :/

That ruined it for me. We as fan like to see the guys we see in the manga on screen, so we can say.

"Look how cool Hiromi looks" or "Look at Bandou with his crazy hair. They did a good job with that"

NOT "Who are these guys?" or "What the fu*k is this shit!?"

Shame, because the movie wasn't THAT bad (if you forget about the storyline). The director (Toshiaki Toyoda) has experience with these kinds of movies. He directed 'Blue Spring' for crying out loud! I recommend that movie, for those that haven't seen it. That's why I thought this movie would rock, but instead it's the weakest in the entire series.

I hope the next one will be A LOT better.

Kucabara Nov 03 2014 11:48 pm what's the title of the song they played at the club (club ending scene)

Archonas Nov 03 2014 9:02 pm The movie and basic storyline is good, BUT Seems the director & story-writer never read the original manga & corelate it with Crows Zero movies/mangas first yet before they mbump into creating movie. They're too hasty, i hope it was not about money greeds. This made the entire movie looks like a standalone universe rather than a sequal of Crows Zero & prequel of Crows x Worst.

This made the entire movies going into stupidly awkward unrelated storyline. The only cool thing was duo Kenichi. Sadly, these two has a bad detail on the characters, they're actually 2nd grade at that time, not 1st grade.

The movie supposedly to be 1 semester before Bouya appears at Suzuran, but what is these strange factions? Who are they? Where's Bandou & Ebizuka Trio that being the real maddog at Suzuran at movie's time?

mikey Nov 01 2014 8:04 pm The timeline makes zero sense which ruined this entire film. The fight scenes werent well created either. Only thing that made this movie enjoyable was the rinda man cameos.

stifler Nov 01 2014 8:34 am the real deal problemo in this movie are... no Takashi Miike (director), Shogo Muto (writer)

tamao Oct 31 2014 12:46 pm fail crow *SIGH*

asu Oct 30 2014 9:53 am the story line is suck, where is ebizuka trio, where is harumichi bouya.. takiya genji is more better than this...

t0ur Oct 28 2014 9:06 am Yeah. Im agree with Vin. The story line is sucks. Gross!! It should be Ebizuka Trio handle Suzuran. Facing Bitou Tatsuya from Housen. Im dissappointed.

Fluffy Oct 23 2014 7:32 am Did someone knows if the original DVD has english subtitles?

bouyalookatitgo Oct 10 2014 8:55 am i think they will make the next movie about harumichi bouya, because the last sentence of the crows zero II is bouya's line in the crows manga

Bouyawillcomesoon Oct 10 2014 8:52 am If you already read the manga "Crows" and watched "Crows Zero 2" you will know that the last line of the movie is Harumichi Bouya's line. So it means that maybe they will make a movie of him after this... woooooo

Vin Aug 31 2014 2:35 pm Why not make a movie about the Ebizuka Trio? That makes more sense then creating new lead characters. Also I can't wait till Harumichi makes his entrance in the next movie

Mahesh Singh Madai Aug 20 2014 10:37 am Hope to see genji back in crows as any role..back in suzuran

Doctoroctowonopus Jul 25 2014 3:16 pm Wish america would show these movies :/

Nocturnal Jul 01 2014 10:36 am Seeing Saotome Taichi in a Crows movie is something I never thought would happen...I am very curious to see how he pulled it off, it sure is miles away from his usual onnagata roles in kabuki!

chelseat Jun 21 2014 11:55 am Masahiro Higashide finally got the bad boy role o__O *i always relate Masahiro to Doumeki xxxholic live action

neo May 30 2014 1:09 am crows zero full muvise

Koptea Chhakchhuak May 23 2014 9:54 am I sure wish a time will come when Bouya Harumichi is finally added to the movie adaptation..and I sure hope there is aperson out there who could pull of Bouya's character in the manga.... I haven't watched this new 'explode' but I am looking forward to it. Well, as of now, I am still sticking to the manga..you get a lot of tension and fun out of it more than the movie..C.R.O.W.S ... You are one helluva story!!

yudhi May 12 2014 11:21 pm when go to indonesian ?

Eru Apr 29 2014 9:59 am So there will be a fight between Suzuran Vs Team O.D.A (and probably with Kurosaki according to Blow Your Mind's MV)

Kirishima? He's nothing compared to Bouya

Probably there are no ebizuka trio and bandou in this movie

Orca Apr 22 2014 12:42 am Crows Explode = 1 Semester before Harumichi Bouya entering Suzuran (Harumichi Bouya entering Suzuran at 2nd Semester). You'll see Kurosaki Industrial High School here, their big boss (Bulldog) will becomes Bouya's future blood-brother.

Aiko Apr 20 2014 1:16 pm Well, I'm a fan of Crows, Worst, Crows and Worst Gaiden, Crows Suplementary stories, etc. I'm kinda dissapointed coz there are no character in Harumichi Bouya's Sophomore Years. But my friend, who is a crazy fan alsi, told me that this movie isn't about Bouya's Year. This is about uncontrolable fights to be the big boss of Suzuran. Since Genji and Serizawa graduate, the throne is empty for sure. It was happening before Bouya goes to Suzuran. that's what my friend said.

Imnubz Apr 14 2014 10:40 am Boring.. It should be kirishima and tatsuya take the part of their school since genji, serizawa and narumi have been graduated. Isn't? That would be nice plot.

mas Apr 13 2014 4:48 pm i will see crows explode in indonesia

Just Random Fan Apr 12 2014 3:07 pm I'm not a fan of Genji after i read through Crows and Worst which Bouya(CROWS) is far stronger and funnier than Genji although he lost to Rindaman for the second match.Hana(WORST) was a great leader and a good friend.If u a real fan...u must read both of it including 'Worst Gaiden'

Hiromi K. Apr 10 2014 12:15 pm it should be bandou x hiromi faction war. i hope at least there're ebizuka trio appearance. who the hell Kazeo Kaburagi, at least crows zero people were mentioned as the 'worst' manga ongoing.

bisuko Apr 08 2014 10:20 am i want to see manji empire in live action :(

bouya Apr 08 2014 2:51 am Crows for life favourite character bouya harumichi I hope they make a movie for crows aswell

asdas Apr 04 2014 10:46 am asdasd

to the person i replied that replied back Apr 04 2014 10:43 am oh yeah..i forgot bout the Worst era. Guriko and Hana are definitely the Rindaman and Bouya of Worst. These four are for sure the strongest throughout the whole timeline of Crows Zero-Crows-Worst. But during the time before Genji graduated,he managed to match up pretty well to Rindaman even though he lost given that Rindaman was still undefeated in Crows. Genji also only barely won against Serizawa compared to when he fought Narumi. so Serizawa is still on par with Genji. and seeing how easy Bouya beat Zetton, Genji and Serizawa would absolutely still stand out with the new guys. but still,Zetton was only a freshman back then....it's all just my personal opinion though haha. besides, all these guys are from a different era and we'll never know ;(

P/S : nice to know there's an awesome Crows fan who follows the whole story line out there ~sorry it took awhile to reply,didn't think i'd be back on this site >_<

demz pzm Apr 03 2014 5:32 am genji serijawa graduated :(

aishiteru Mar 28 2014 4:19 am like to see it soon.......:)

aishiteru Mar 28 2014 4:18 am i hope its all full movie great and can see soon:)

imba Mar 27 2014 12:12 pm where is hiromi ??????????????

Tae Mar 27 2014 4:20 am SERIZAWA AND GENJI are not in the movie because they GRADUATED...They were seniors in the last one. That is why there are new characters

Azmanz Mar 23 2014 1:14 am Why is takiya genji not in the movie?it will be different between crows 1 and crows 2.

dating Mar 09 2014 6:38 pm Relationship status: Finally, you have to judge that is the adoration and affection is enough for you or not. Because the classroom assignments given to graduate teaching assistants are generally entry-level courses, some people feel like they don't really need to prepare ' that they can just walk into class and 'wing it. This will take patience, and it'll take some time too. yourself and would propose you to be her date and fall into a love relationship with her. These were statements that were designed to impress me, the recipient, how Holy he was and how God is such a big part of his life, as was his faith.

Genji Mar 03 2014 1:02 pm So Genji will not aleast have a little scene on this movie? :( I wish Genji still have a scene atleast just a little.. :3

Kidzu Feb 24 2014 8:48 am i really hope in this film The Golden Monkey come sad :(

ayutia Feb 24 2014 1:02 am without harumichi bouya ? ryushin ? bando ? harumichi vs rindaman ?? and it would be different story with the comic ?? hiks

mes Feb 15 2014 4:30 pm where is Harumichi Boya?

RFJ Feb 10 2014 7:18 pm kapan muncul nih ?

Scarl Feb 08 2014 1:32 pm @hendy cuz genji is no more

hendy Feb 08 2014 2:12 am Why shun oguri not be genji again when he was good at acting ?

Hana Feb 05 2014 10:18 am just saw the 1.32 minutes trailer.. it's so damn good. So Shibata Hiroki is the top of kurosaki, Goura Tooru is the top of suzuran.. but, who the hell is Team O.D.A? never heard them in crows or worst makise is in this movie too eh...

Christie Jan 21 2014 7:13 pm WHOO!!Can't wait 2 c this movie.

Mingkai-chan Jan 21 2014 6:55 am IF you have problems bout the story, new characters and new actors of this movie please do some research first... don't judge this film immediately.

For those who don't know anything, or just wondering what happened to other characters just READ CROWS-manga !!!

And for some who wish CROWS to be turned into LIVE ACTION... FYI there are lots of things need to be considered...

obang litin Jan 20 2014 10:44 pm i saw new guys face of crows zero their looks even didn't touch the feet of old crows .they are almost look like f... . I very upset of about hiromi ,rindaman and other undergrajuate student why the principal of suspend them .this is gonna be tragedy for fan.

Wizard Jan 18 2014 1:32 am did u guys even read the fking summany?it said ''Meanwhile, a battle against nearby Kurosaki Industrial High School begins''.tat mean this event is at other school not at suzuran.ofcouse it still show some suzuran student but not all coz it mostly focus at kurosaki industial high school.

xtian lizarda Jan 04 2014 4:53 am I know that serizawa & genji graduated.. But where is Hiromi kirishima & izaki???? and i thought that housen is still there enemy????

Unknown Jan 01 2014 12:24 am WTF wrong with people in this comment did they even read the manga,most of em only know serizawa and genji!?Genji and Serizawa already graduate at the end of crows zero 2.I was hoping to see Bouya Harumichi tho oh well guess i won't be able to see him in this movie.

Unknown Dec 24 2013 1:49 am Where's Genji and Serizawa? Where Kirishima? should he remain there and be a 3rd grader. What's up with the director! I just limp to know it, pffffft..

lanciao pedas Dec 23 2013 10:30 pm Where is genji takiya and tamao serizawa salam lanciao

mio_chan Dec 22 2013 10:10 am where is serizawa!!!!

ano-nimus Dec 17 2013 4:38 am I watched Crows Zero many times and been waiting for the sequel of Crows Zero 2 because of Haruma Miura hasn't done any fighting in the movie. So i thought he will be doing some action thing in Crows Zero 3. But then I failed. Oh well, it doesn't matter, a "new" story starts. I was just shocked to find Kento Nagayama was so old, he's looking like he is in his 40's. LOL!

anyhow, I will watch this movie. very soon.

Fan Genji Dec 13 2013 4:45 am Ohhh Noooo

This is very Ugly

Not Genji not CrowZero Ohh pleas give actor Shun 1 war and Out and Say i want come back in this film .

Crow Zero for Story Genji ,War ,GPS...Not For School

Rindaman Dec 07 2013 5:38 am This is not Crows Zero 3.It is called Crows Explode. Crows was always unpredictable, instead of contnuing with harumichi they made WORST.

Now they have chose to make a different crows movie. I dont know why they nevr continue with the original story.

ANYWAYS, they is a new crows movie.Genji's generation has graduated,so dont expect anything related to him.

Myven Dec 04 2013 5:32 am TAKIYA say Once he graduate At SUZURAN He won't come bck again Now s the GROUP of CROWS

Myven Dec 04 2013 5:28 am Thy never change the character any way Just read the mangga So that all can understand Where the GPS group go!!! Can't wait to watch Same at Samurai X s coming too soon

Gosuto-kun Dec 03 2013 9:32 pm I'm always laughed so hard if i see the comment section of this movie, Many of them don't even read the manga and they only know Genji and Serizawa(wtf). But i love it when someone who know the story from manga begin to mention Bouya Harumichi and the characters from manga. For my self i really want to see Ryushin Kunou on this movie(i'm TFOA fans. lol). I would really love it if this become dorama series so it can continue from CROWS until WORST.

sorry for my bad english.

takiya Nov 28 2013 6:49 am It'll be different if there's no crows zero 1&2 in this movie. I'll get bored, but.. 1&2 casts are too old know-_- so thats why they changed the cast.

Ketan Nov 10 2013 5:24 am The movies are set some years before the events of manga happen.

Edy Susanto Nov 05 2013 1:11 pm I really want to see bouya harumichi in this movie

pras Nov 01 2013 3:17 pm I think if this film the actor will be changed. all people will be bored. The player should be same like in crows zero 1&2.

Dingku Oct 31 2013 9:01 pm I like crows zero series so much i want to know who is going to win this time and rindaman is in which school?

to someone who reply me :) Oct 27 2013 9:05 pm Yeah, you agree about Rindaman and Bouya, right? How 'bout Guriko and Tsukishima Hana? Guriko, the strongest man in the city... and Tsukishima Hana, he's the one that unite entire Suzuran (But he lost to someone from Manji Empire, where Bouya last enemy Kuzugami Tatsuo belong)

P.S. thanks for replying my post

alx Oct 25 2013 12:29 pm It's not a sucses without genji of crows zero,genji is always heros of crowszero.so its not good,why you make a crowszero3 without genji,iam surely said to thats not a succes movie without genji,

agung Oct 19 2013 4:08 am why in crows zero genji ama 3 not there Serizawa

genji Oct 18 2013 3:26 pm genji is there bt where is serizawa he is the real monster or else he is dead or smthng

RnL Oct 08 2013 2:10 am What is this?? without genji and serizawa?? boring~ I love the old characters>> by the way<< GENJI IS THE MOST STRONGER..

tsukishima hana Oct 01 2013 10:16 am wtf is this? where is bouya? who the are these clowns? come on, if this story was manga based then please show us the characters from manga, not these egg heads!

notatrollofficial Sep 30 2013 1:29 am This is, obviously, non-canon. Crows Zero and Crows Zero II are considered canon because a freshman mentioned Takiya Genji in the comic.

miguel Sep 26 2013 12:43 am it was very boring i think .. all the fans including me waiting for the 3rd part of this movie was just wasted .. it cant be without genji and serizawa bring them back !

Yoshi Harumichi Sep 10 2013 9:31 am without bouya ? hoaaammm...

Kitoy Sep 09 2013 10:02 am Where is Bouya?

young Sep 09 2013 8:04 am i would like to see genji returned back in action as a legend at the end of the movie

Anonymous Sep 04 2013 8:56 am Crows Zero 3 is an about a new student have been transfer in suzuran. after genji and serizawa graduated! go watched crow zero 2 bfore at the end of his scene fought rindamam genji had said he wont come back to suzuran anymore.

to GURIKO Sep 03 2013 7:47 am STRONGER than Genji and Serizawa?Rindaman and Bouya i would agree...but the rest?b!tch please....

Gessle NG Sep 03 2013 7:13 am i think old caracter better than new caracter....

Mitsumasa Aug 28 2013 9:26 am You guys absolutely did not read the manga. Crows is all about Bouya Harumichi and his experiences in Suzuran, not Takiya Genji and Serizawa Tamao.

Guriko Aug 28 2013 2:27 am Who the hell said this is Crows Zero 3? This is the new timeline, It's called Crows Explode,, Crows is genji n serizawa? b!tchplease Crows is Bouya, Ebizuka trio, Bandou, Rindaman, Zetton, Hideyoshi, and many more,, Their stronger than Genji and Serizawa,, Maybe the Crows : Gaiden (scene when Ebizuka trio vs Bandou faction) is on this film. And we can see the senior year before that didn't expose in Crows Zero,,

wang xiao jin Aug 27 2013 8:50 am crows is genji n serizawa. fights new enemy will be interesting. GPS became a great group even their after graduate.

veron Aug 22 2013 12:22 pm orgasmically exciting..can't wait to see it! ..sad thing:the earlier cast is irreplaceable... :(

Ronhova Aug 07 2013 11:42 pm Man..still no Bouya? Another Crows Zero? They should stop wit the Zeros and move on to chapter One already!!

mahan Aug 06 2013 12:28 am I've been waited for a long time to see again this movie onli for Genjii n SeRizawa....against housen for a next fight......but it seems that makers of this film got a bad smell for a fans by replacing Legendary Genjii n Tamao...... Its a worst sequel for CrOwS mAnGasS....!

selma Aug 05 2013 11:17 pm people before judging go watch masahiro higashide in The Kirishima Thing, in the last scene of that movie he made me cry without saying more than a two words, I think it was obvious for those who cast him in that first role of his too, he is a naturally gifted actor ( he wsn't an idol btw ) i expect him to get many more good role in the future too, besides most Jacotrs, even those from bands can act very well ( nishikdo ryo, matsumoto jun ) ( the only one i can think of who cn't act at all are yamapi and akanisi jin, the rest are fine and often even good ) i sure will be missing the brilliant oguri shun and yamada takayuki i dn't thin the new cast can bring the same charisma but I'll watch and i hope that i'll be pleasantly surprised

Shubham Jul 28 2013 8:43 am Definately everyone will miss Tamao Serizawa and Genji Takiya.......... in crows explode.

Carlos Jul 22 2013 1:04 pm The most strange thing about Japan is that they have great actors with international acting awards like Cannes, Marcelo Mastroianni's, Berlin Awards, even some of them are Oscar nominated and yet people are still saying Japanese can't act.

American actors are most of the time overrated, Johnny Depp isn't as good as people are saying. He is very superficial in his approach to acting and when a scene requires him to be emotional he's plain and fake, Gene Hackman and Paul Newman in another hand were always amazing.

The best actors don't need to talk to get the message across, actors like Tony Leung or Koji Yakusho can interpret complex emotions without saying a single word. Those are the truly good actors.

About Idols, well most of them suck and the Japanese Media is so corrupt and full of shit that they attack the people with good acting skills like Erika Sawajiri.

Kurasu Jul 18 2013 10:24 pm Where's Bouya? You'd think they would make a Movie with him since he's the most badass character in the Crows Universe. Lame...

julia Jul 09 2013 5:06 am TAKAYUKI YAMADA is a great actor, and very handsome man, love you YAMADA so much

yona Jul 09 2013 5:03 am I miss you so much my SERIZAWA, it will be boring witout you, but i am still gona be wach it

V.A Jul 01 2013 2:04 am ummm..... looks kinda queer now needs Genji

RonwaLdo Jun 16 2013 7:30 am YEahh i like This MOVie .. Very BEautiful .. :)) GO GPS ...

Kago Jun 15 2013 10:38 pm Without serizawa,genji..it seems boring...!

Moks_3D Jun 05 2013 2:01 am I Was hoping a Bouya Movie but oh well .. im still watching this .. . ahehe

KORRRRRAAA!! May 23 2013 11:14 am stop saying crow zero 3......********.....crow "zero" was before the events in the manga....thats why its call "zero" and its originally called CROWS!!! got it?

jerome tan May 18 2013 6:02 am LOL @jedmed

DUDE did you seriously believed tom cruise is a great actor???? DAMN you lost your remaining credibiliy when you mentioned that name.

Deena May 10 2013 6:20 pm I can't wait to watch this

whiteChocolate May 08 2013 7:12 am funny discussions here its like FANGIRLS vs. FANBOYS

I go with the FANBOYS even tho they are both RETARDED but FANGIRLS lose their screws in their head and stop thinking and just says how amazing goodlooking talented they idols are.

Cy Young May 07 2013 6:18 am And the replaced actors were never jpop idols (please do some research before commenting -___-) or wanna be actors to begin with. Please check their other works and then comment.

FoR GoDsAkE are you serious about that comment??? maybe you are the one that should do some research. And the way you comment seems that your a fangirl in that sense they are fangirl actors.

Mai May 06 2013 3:19 am People! Besides all those negative 'top actors replacing Jpop wanna be actors/Japanese actors are consider bad actors', 'don't expect us to watch now', 'why killing the series' etc comments; I just want to say lets watch the movie and give it a chance. Sometimes the actors can be changed in a long running series if it is not a continuation of the previous versions. Yes..it has a whole new storyline than the previous movies and the original manga too (or else it would be crows zero 3!). Besides the previous (awesome) actors of 2 major characters Genji and Serizawa are now kind of too senior to play high-schoolers, don't you think so too?? And the replaced actors were never jpop idols (please do some research before commenting -___-) or wanna be actors to begin with. Please check their other works and then comment. Last of all, it is obvious that haters gonna hate but at least give it some times to get released and if you have a complain, watch and come later to criticize.

Da May 03 2013 5:45 am I was disappointed Serizawa and genji nothing in this movie

LOLness May 02 2013 1:45 am Yamada and Shun are not that good looking IMO espacially yamada he is short. They are are far from being a fangirl actors. The difference between a fangirl actor and an actor actor is that when a fangirl actor got married those screaming fangirls are ANGRY...but when an actor actor ( like oguri shun for example ) got married not a single fangirl reacted because shun is a well respected actor. I hope you get my point.

This is my last post, and this is just my opinion, and im ok with you not agreeing with my opinion too.

St2s May 01 2013 12:42 pm Please, wait before you judge.

Hate on the directors and production for the cast instead, they are the one wanting to please other demographics, fangirls did not ask anything and aren't even that much actually : fanboys are the ones still watching (enjoying?) despite the "wannabe actors" and thus, responsible. But the fact is that many of those boys aren't worst than others and can totally act, it's just that you can't get over the fact they were casted to bring a bit more money. It just seems like as long as a male actor looks good, is loved by girls and is under 30 years old, smart-ass is gonna hate... What about the actresses ? This is the same thing, and they don't even have fans. Japan is far from being a "country with no real actors". Look at something other than dramas and teen movies : they are made for an audience who don't pay much attention to acting. If you want "art, real actors", just go lick some ass at European movie festivals, because Japan likes way too much good-looking people.

@LOLness " they replace 2 top japanese actor with FANGIRLS JPOP WANNABE ACTORS....its like replacing johnny depp with justin bieber" : I LOL'ed too, you might want to check again who your "2 top Japanese actors are" : Shun Oguri and Takayuki Yamada are weeeell known (if not only) for their good looks, romantic movies, and fangirls. They are on top indeed, in the girls' hearts first. Also, lots of American actors are overrated and would be nowhere if they had not been so good looking in their youth.

therealthing Apr 30 2013 8:45 am I agree with those comments about fangirls making japan a country with no real actors. Many fantastic scriptwriters and directors from japan but the roles are always going to those jpop idols, dont get me wrong I always like their music but most of them their acting is not great, producers get them so that the movie will sell to their fans. Money first, Art second....is a bad thing.

Angie Apr 28 2013 3:40 pm Hummm...... I'm still gonna watch it. Give it a chance guys, it might be really good.

EPICNESS Apr 25 2013 3:16 am @jedmed

FANGIRL ALERT!!!!

LOL you girls are the reason why japanese actors are considered bad actors, cause you kept supporting these wannabe actor without talent your just focusing on their girly looks. Just because you kept supporting them so they keep appearing on tv like yamapi and others.

THS IS A FANTASTIC MOVIE IF ONLY REAL ACTORS ARE IN THIS HONESTLY THE ONLY REAL ACTOR HERE IS YUYA YAGIRA WHO IS THE YOUNGEST BEST ACTOR IN CANNES.

Yami Kanade Apr 25 2013 12:50 am cmon guyss.. i dont know who genji (shun oguri) or serizawa (takayuki yamada) before i watch crow zero 1 n 2.. who knows we would get a new star here ;D

danny Apr 24 2013 8:52 am Move on pigs. Update iz ncssary n nw ones are cool........

jedmed Apr 23 2013 11:30 am yo LOLness

its like replacing johnny depp with justin bieber.

You are really funny! With Masahiro Higashide in the lead, no one needs to be sarcastic in your comments. Who cares about Depp or Bieber or Tom Cruise for that matter. You need to lighten up and maybe... just maybe get yourself a decent haircut... LOL indeed!

JstarProductions / Jsp Apr 23 2013 12:08 am miss the mikami brothers haha funny guys

JstarProductions / Jsp Apr 23 2013 12:06 am Is that Rinda Man

Noooooo Apr 22 2013 8:29 pm Noooooooooooooo WTF ?! Why are you killed the series ?!

Miss AIna S Apr 22 2013 2:03 pm Hey guys got some news . The production team said they will NEVER make a story about Bouya , so there's no reason for us rooting him . This new movie storyline is about a gang who wanted to be the boss of Suzuran after Genji graduated and BEFORE Bouya enter this school .

So I guess , Takashi Miike will never make a movie starting from Crows Manga . He will only make movie BEFORE the Crows Manga . I guess this maybe the last movie to satisfied people who constantly asking when will he do the next sequel of Crows movie . But this fact might be change in the future , who knows right .

So if we want movie based on the original manga we will probably need to wait for another production team and director to create a new movie based on Crows manga and the lead is Bouya bcoz Takashi Miike said he won't do it .

Oh ya , I also heard some rumours from Youtube that Makise will be in this movie . Don't know why though .

Miss Aina S Apr 22 2013 1:45 pm I kinda disappointed for a lil bit since it did not introduce Bouya as he is the successor of Takiya Genji so he should be the one who the lead cast . Man , i waited for this movie for soo long . But i kinda hope Genji, Serizawa,Izaki Shun and the gang came as a cameo . It would be fantastic ! For those who asking where is Serizawa and Genji , they graduated remember ? So they no longer in this school . Although this didn't came to my expectation , I would definitely watch this movie though .

I MISS SERIZAWA BADLY !

bikram Apr 22 2013 10:56 am nice..........but serizawa.........

tsering Apr 22 2013 9:28 am It's back

NINO AJA Apr 22 2013 8:54 am where's my SERIZAWA.....SERIZAWA IS THE BEST NOT genji...where's my SERIZWAAAAAAAAA.....:'(

zhulai Apr 22 2013 8:20 am It's continued story of crows zero 1&2 or not?

Fuong Apr 22 2013 7:00 am I love the character Genji. But why give him a haircut. which made him lose violent :( =))

Zetman Apr 22 2013 6:50 am I'm a massive fan of the original japanese manga and the previous two films, and i'm definitely looking forward to this one! BUT, I do think it's a shame that this film has completely strayed off from the original comics. Crows Zero and Zero II fit in perfectly with the original manga story (the fight between suzuran and housen is mentioned in the manga to have happened a number of years ago. When genji, serizawa etc. and crows zero II ends, that is when bouya harumichi - the protagonist of the manga - enters suzuran). The story of the first two movies are linked to the comic so perfectly, that in the manga WORST (sequel to crows) the names of genji and serizawa are mentioned when some characters are naming suzuran's greatest leaders, and at one point you even see a silhouette of genji fighting rinda man! So basically even the author considers crows zero and zero II as part of the "crows x worst universe". However this movie evidently has a completely different storyline to the original (a bit like the second gantz film). Anyways, I'm still really looking forward to this regardless, and hope they do a good job!

Zosiama CJ Ralte Apr 22 2013 6:41 am I guess its going to interest from now on. I am a fan of Crows manga and Crows Zero manga. I wish there is a fight like that or a gang like PARKO and Dangerous.. hope to see this though.

mariansowhat Apr 22 2013 6:18 am what the ??? i want the old ones :/

Arthur Apr 22 2013 6:16 am I am actually a fan of the movies.. and kinda know a bit about the comic.. but first of all..

aren't the youngstars missing (Hiromi Kirishima and friends )? what about bando ? i've seen rinda man hopefully :D

i know from the comics that he IS the strongest at this point.. and also ... the comic kinda starts after the second movie... (maybe 1 year inbetween ?) still if the youngstars are missing in this movie and bando.... the movie will not make much sense....

Nao Apr 22 2013 6:11 am i just want to see Tokio and Tamao -__-

pat Apr 22 2013 6:09 am you will still watch it anyway Zzzzz

LOLness Apr 21 2013 1:39 pm the comment below me didnt realize it sucks because they replace 2 top japanese actor with FANGIRLS JPOP WANNABE ACTORS....its like replacing johnny depp with justin bieber.

jedmed Apr 17 2013 12:22 pm LOL The comments from "fans" are funny. Imagine, the movie is still in production and they are already judging it. Who gives a hoot is Miike is not the director anymore? He is not the only filmmaker in Japan that can make decent and cool movies.

DARS Apr 14 2013 11:30 pm THIS FILM NEEDS MORE CHUUTA AND MAKISE!!!

I'll still watch it though ;)

Hitokiri Apr 14 2013 5:41 pm This is gonna suck. Right after genji,serizawa and company graduate is when the crows manga starts and bouya beats kirishima,pon and mako......for the money it seems

★Tony Leung Matsuda★ Apr 13 2013 6:53 pm Shunsuke Daito should have been in this one along with his two buddies. Looks like the only two characters that returned is Katagiri and Rinderman... Disapointed that they didn't try to write Harumichi Bouya into this movie.

what?? Apr 12 2013 9:02 am No SERIZAWA???????????? NO miike?????

dont expect us to watch this!!!!!!!!!!

Liza★ Apr 11 2013 9:30 pm This has been one of the best news I've read so far, looking forward a lot to watch it!! I'm just a little sad that I'll not see Oguri Shun and Yamada Takayuki in it TT-TT
