I know there is a lot of negativity about this movie from various quarters but I do think it's a love letter to the anime. I had the idea for the phrase when I saw that even the glitching motifs from the title credits were recreated in the movie (and expanded to the extent that glitching is part of the plot). I mean, if we just step back, when I watched the anime I never expected that one day I'd be able to see a live-action version of the tank fight. It was very unlikely for this movie to have been made at all, in between Avengers 12 and Fast and the Furious 17. I'm glad it exists.
