Those movies sound cool
But dude I totally agree with you, but the fact is that the movie going public refer to Kill Bill as a live action anime, mostly because of the characters, gore and dialogue. Most people's idea of anime is beautiful characters with strange/poetic dialogue having unreal fights. People think the Matrix is live action anime; It's just how most people percieve movies that aren't designed traditionally, they have to find a catagory to put it in that they're some what familiar with.
The point I was trying to make about the Crazy 88 scene is that it was designed that way to keep the gore but people dont think about that, they see a scene, not unilke most scenes in an action movie, but with artistic purpose. People talk about why it went in to black and white and come up with theories like 'Black Mamba is so hardened that she doesn't see the blood anymore' or 'she sees in black and white so she can concentrate on the fighting'. People love to think too hard when it comes to movies.
