I probably should give it a 5 or something but there is a fine line between homage, imitation and theft. Tarantino has been borrowing things all over, ever since Jackie Brown and with Kill Bill: Vol. 1. The whole thing just felt more like stealing than anything else. It seemed like he had cherry picked whatever moments and scenes from other movies he thought that were cool and threw them all just together. He has an too old fashioned view of anime that just reinforces negative stereotypes and scares people away from exploring some very worthwhile movies and mainly series. That is just a personal pet peeve and it didn’t influence my perception or opinion of the movie.
Peoples opinion of Tarantino’s movies seems to grow over time, looking at the imdb score, I cannot remember people being that exited over this, when it came out except for the fanboys and girls. I get the feeling that people like to pretend that they like Tarantino just a bit more than they really do but I might be delusional. The schoolgirls were cool but that has obviously been done before elsewhere.
