i like violent movies too....movies like kill bill, battle royale 1 and 2. azumi really rocks and i still prefer azumi 1 than azumi 2. maybe it's because of the change in the director...dont know? but i thought that azumi 2 could have a better ending... :sweat:

I like Azumi1 better too, as Azumi2. But that wasn't bad either. And Kill Bill is one of my favourites. I have both of the parts.

I FINALLY got to see this movie! I pretty much agree with everyone else. Azumi 1 is a lot better that Azumi 2. The storyline was a lot more interesting and the swordfighting scenes were much better.

I also agree with Yoh that the ending could have been better. After I saw the ending I was like "Is that it??!!!"

If I had seen #2 before #1 I might have liked it better, but #1 spoiled me I guess. :P

^ i have both movies, now that i read your comments here, should i watch Azumi 2 first?

i mean, is there a continuity in the story that would require me to watch Azumi 1 before 2 or is the story totally independent with each other?

thanks.

hmm......If you dont' know anything about the Azumi movie, then I would suggest watching the first one first so you know the overall story of whats going on. Though.....if you want to see which one is better directed and all that, then watch 2nd one first and then the 1st one so you can see the difference.

I have yet to see the 2nd one, but I going to watch it to see how good Aya is in it compared to the first one

Ooh! Azumi, now that was a good movie!

Violent, but still good... And those fights were awesome!

But, I didn't even know there was a 2, until now.... Gotta see that....

I agree with K. T. Tran. If you've never read the manga or don't know anything about the basic story of Azumi then it's probably better to watch the first one first so that you understand what's going on in the second movie.

just to update you guys, i've watched both movies last saturday...i watched azumi 1 then followed by 2.

interestingly, i liked both....im not much of a blood & gore person (well, i also liked kill bill :) ) but i was able to watch both movies without covering my eyes :victory:

hoping to see some conclusion on azumi 3 perhaps? since there are still unfinished business between Kanbei and Azumi...

Kanbei seems not that person that will forgive and forget.

sou kana...i have a copy of Azumi 2..but don't watch the azumi 1 yet... :bleh:

Apparently there IS another Azumi .. like "Azumi 3" but they change the name since the actors, actresses and plot are VERY different .. :crazy:
Other than that, I have no idea about Azumi movie ..

I must to agree with you. The ending of the second movie wasn't so good. And the fights were shorter than in movie one too.

Speaking of Azumi...is anyone here a fan of the history of Sengoku Jidai?I feel that it's an interesting and educational history to learn since the amount of unparallel strategists(Kuroda Kanbei,Ishida Mitsunari,Takanana Hanbei just to name a few) is uncountable.And the "war' between using the faster yet weaker arrows compared to the stronger yet slower muskets is also something that can been seen in this history.So having said that...is anyone interested in discussing some of these stuff with me?We'll learn faster by trading knowledge!

they might be interested but wouldn't it be off topic? I know a little bit about japanese history but I know a lot about the Three Kingdoms era (China). I'm not dissing on japanese history or heroes but i found the 3K stuff to be much more interesting!

SOOOOO... when is that Azumi 3 comin out?

I dont like azumi because she is invincible. She never meets her match and beats EVERYONE. think about it, there is not a single enemy she struggles to beat... what a let down...

Btw, Chiaki Kuriyama in A2 is hooooot

The Three Kingdoms history?Well then we'll have something to talk about then!!!But then we can't discuss about it here.Sengoku Jidai has some link with Azumi since they are at from the same period but surely not 3K!!!So any thread talking about this?!?

And I certainly hope Azumi 3 don't surface at all!!!Ok maybe the presence of Aya is a GREAT thing but as you said...her immortality on-scene is just too much!!!
