Action is actually a relatively new genre in film, anime, and animation. The Hollywood action movie genre itself has only historically been around since the 1970s, allegedly according to Wikipedia. Before that, it was samurai films, westerns, Hong Kong kung-fu flicks, and Acme anvils dropping on cartoon Coyote’s heads. Not many firearms and explosions and whatnot. Like I said, I don’t do action movies. I do Existential Action. Post-Modern Action for a Post-Modern world culture.
