Aye, you can never beat a good bit of cartoon violence.

I recently watched 3 Japanese animes actually (Vexille, Appleseed and Appleseed 2). All of them generic and predictable (though Vexille did have one of the most peculiarly Japanese endings I've ever seen) but absolutely stunning visually.

The thing with anime is that the makers know which side their bread's buttered. A lot of the angles and action set pieces are shamelessly indulgent, but it works because the audience likes it that way. Compared to Beowulf, the 3 films I mentioned are a lot nicer to look at and more fun with it imho.
