The animation sequence seen in the film Kill Bill was produced by Production I.G and is technically known as an "anime".
The Director of film, Quentin Tarantino personally asked them to create an animation sequence that was a homage of the genre films that he loved so much.
One of the notable things here is the extremely violent edge to the film, which are so excessive they actually detract from the "reality" of the situation. Also I feel there was no real reason to make this animated, apart from Tarantino's thought "Wouldn't it be cool to have an anime segment in this film?" There is no doubt that it's good but is it really necessary?
Overall, the segment is executed very well and for the very least, Tarantino deserves credit for exposing mainstream audiences to anime.
