felt like a live-action anime


i remember the generally feeling as i watched this (especially the action scenes) was that this was basically what an anime would look like if flesh out with human actors and whatnot. a lot of people felt the same about the matrix trilogy (especially the later two installments).

Yes but at least this movie was based off Manga, the Matrix was just eye-candy trying to pass itself off as a movie.

Most of kitamura's movies do.

Versus definitely has some anime influences. Also, In Battle Royale, a few things reminded me of anime. Like the two transfer students. Especially the bad one (kitahara maybe?) And Casshern is actually an adaptation of a 70's manga, so there's reason for that movie to resemble an anime.

Both Battle Royale and Azumi exists as manga :P
