What are you talking about? The anime was essential to the movie! The movie is Japanese oriented! Why not have an anime chapter? It deepy expresses the pain and emotion that O' Ren Ishii had to go through when SPOILER her parents are killed by the Yakuza guy. And that is a first! "the violence was also pretty fake." I thought you were a fan a violence. But i'm getting way in over my head. That's your opinion. I'd give a 9.5 because I really couldn't understand Hattari Hanzo when i first saw it becasue i didnt have captions on. Whoops. Tarantino kicks ass.
