I don't think it's quite fair to call him misogynistic... I mean, he seems to hate men and women pretty much equally. Both get hacked apart in brutal, sexual ways in his movies on a regular basis. (Also, for those who've never seen it, Dead or Alive: Final has some amusing yaoi aspects. The main bad guy keeps a shirtless bishounen with a saxophone around for, more or less, decoration.)
I think it's good that Miike's branching out. He recently released a very good family movie called Zebraman. I don't think it's gotten US release because it really WOULD get a PG rating here. (Let's face it, nobody who's already a Miike fan would buy it with that rating.) |

| Actually, someone who works for Klockworx told me Miike is "normal" irl. Anyway, I'd say Anno's more misogynistic than Miike. |

Maybe he heard them say a "slash" title and he misheard it as "slasher"  |

I really liked the Ichi the Killer live-action movie that Takashi Miike directed and think it is one of the most hilarious movies I've ever seen . Because of this thread, I went out to Best Buy today and bought Audition and Ichi-1 (prequel to Ichi the Killer, but by different director). I'll watch those movies on a nice day when I'm nice and relaxed  .
Even though I'm not very interested in yaoi, with Takashi Miike as director, the movie could end up to be quite interesting if he directs it in the typical style that he's famous for and that would be something I'd want to see. |

| ANS corrected itself. It's not a yaoi manga, but an action manga of the same name. Akadot has more details. |

| Snowfairy, watch Ichi the Killer: Episode Zero. It's an anime version of the original manga. I think it'd be more true to the original. And why are y'all surprised at him doing something with yaoi themes? Did any of you watch Gozu? The entire movie was about homosexual love between two yakuza. All his movies deal with love, actually. Trust me. I wrote a paper on it. |

I think they were more amused about the idea of him doing a romantic-comedy sort of thing.
It made me giggle, at least. |
