Ah, once again Quentin Tarantino delivers.
You have to remember that you're watching the movie adaptation of a manga comic that was never written, and then it's fabulous. The plot is very simple, the script is witty and filled with referential jokes.
nyarbaggytep would no doubt miss these >ducks<.
Visually it is a treat. Even the copious amounts of claret involved is too stylistically portrayed to be horrible. The fight sequences are cleverly staged - only twice was the wire work done to portray an impossible move as opposed to a wildly improbable move.
And the soundtrack - I may have to acquire.
In one of the great ironies that is a Tarantino movie, the anime sequence was the most realistic.
