I loved the movie but it was a bit difficult to follow, reading the manga gave me answers to the many questions I had about the movie (how did Kakihara get all those cuts? why does Jijii look like a bodybuilder underneath? where did Ichi's costume/weapon come from?). The anime was quite disappointing though, it was surprisingly short (45 mins).

He just thinks of stuff no one else would and that's why he is amazing.
