I am a huge fan of Hong Kong cinema, especially action movies. I've seen films by the greats, John Woo, Ringo Lam, Tsui Hark and many others. Some of my favorites are: Hardboiled, directed by John Woo, starring Chow Yun Fat and Andy Lau, The Killer, also directed by John Woo and starring Chow Yun Fat, Prison on Fire starring CYF and directed by Ringo Lam. There are others, but that is just off the top of my head. Now you may wonder how this is important. Well, I'll tell you.
Rarely does one see an Anime like Cowboy Bebop or Gungrave that exhibit a style similar to a Chinese action flick (e.g. diving, akimbo pistols, lots and lots of enemies dying in rapid succesion from just a few clips with seemingly infinite ammo). So is there any more out there? Gungrave personally reminded me more of the movie Equilibrium (Christian Bale, Taye Diggs), which is fine. Can anyone point me in the direction of some Anime with a "chinese action feel" to it? Thanks.
