You do realize Ichi the Killer is based on a manga that's even more violent and ridiculous right?
Audition isn't very good.. Visitor Q is a beautiful and hilarious family film. Why do you keep watching his movies if you don't like 'em, anyway? Just curious waht the fuss is? I'm not trying to debate, just curious. Anyway, you have to kind of get into Miike's groove.. a lot his films are basically overblown comedies. See the CGI cock fight scene in City of Lost Souls for example, haha.
I think HAPPINESS OF THE KATAKURIS would be a film you like though. It's a family drama comedy musical with zombies and dancing and gore and lip synching and claymation and other stuff. It's reaaaaaaaally good, even if you don't like his other movies. And again, his straight-up family films like Great Yokai War are actually amazing.
The worst Miike I've seen is Bodyguard Chiba 2.. and One Missed Call... and Andromedia.. and ... okay, he has a lot of awful shit.
