I guess it is based on the censored version...however not being an Anime fan I really couldn't tell you what the difference between the two are, I've seen neither, but that word "censor" is probably where it started to go wrong.
"Censored" and "artistic vision" never really seem to get along well.
Maybe the distaste was that, out the door, we were watching the edited for syndicate television version of "Pulp Fiction."
Or maybe that it seemed to be style over substance and the style part of it only lasted a few minutes.
In any case, it was a bad movie and a boring one. But, it had Samuel Jackson in it, and, well, I'll sit through horrible movies just because he's in it.
