Ichi the Killer
He wears the number 1 on his back.Eyes red from crying, he screams incoherently as he creates death all around him.What does it take to create an insane assassin who only feels primal lust when he sees life slip from the eves of the living?Koroshiya or Ichi the Killer Episode 0 is the prequel to the film which was edited heavily in it's release to other countries outside of Japan due to the nature of it's excessive gore. The live action suddenly becomes cheesy prop blood and dark humour which then pales in comparison to the spirit of psychopathy involved in the molding and twisting of Ichi during his youth.

Dragon Ball Kai
The DBZ TV series is receiving an extensive "refresh" for Japanese television airing on the 20th anniversary of DBZ. While based on the original animation production, it is being updated with new technology, including cropping the frames for formatting on an HD 16:9 display. The original Japanese cast is re-grouping to re-voice the show (where available, and unfortunately not including those that have passed on, such as Suzuoki Hirotaka [Tenshinhan]). Sound effects are being updated, and the OPs and EDs are being completely redone.
New content includes a brief look at the last moments of Bardock and Planet Vegeta, an overview of young Goku's growing up years (Dragonball, the pre-Z period) up until his triumph over Piccolo at the Tenkaichi-Budokai, and the all-too-brief and yet still somewhat triumphant return of Farmer with a Shotgun!
