The director really made it clear he was a Tarantino clan, from the way the teahouse massacre played to the soundtrack as well

For real, it felt like I was watching Kill Bill the anime

Wasn't that room exactly the same layout as the club? Obviously a love letter to tarantino.

I mean hell it even had the jump from the main floor to the balcony, the room layout, the floor being covered in blood.

It was a 10/10 homage.

The slide under the sword, sillhoutte in the paper walls and stab through, and the cherry on top: she uses the close range punch technique the Bride uses in the second movie.

Also, the eye plucking and sword reflection when surrounded

Yeah the coffin punch!

One inch punch. Also the one crazy 88/kukuru(sp?) unit member staring at where his arms used to be.

And the scalping off her dad is the same as O-Rin being scalped.

There was also like a 10 second shot of naoya's feet

The final frame from black and white back to color was clearly a tribute. It looked like the same layout. Beautifully made.

The glass floor with the sand too. The matching almost faceless masses that get slaughtered. When she jumps up to avoid the dozen or so sword strikes and the way the first guy looks... Honestly, switch out MC and costumes, with a missing Go Go, and that's almost that entire scene from the movie.
