Indeed, my opinion is exactly the reason I should not be managing anime. If I made an anime, I'd still make it like that, though, I think it'd be way more visceral and dynamic. But oh well, that's just me.
about human vulnerability,
Hm, there are historic examples of people being bayoneted or shot up to several times, though they still continue fighting. For example, when Sikh swordsmen engaged the British at a battle I don't remember, the British infantry stuck their bayonets into the Sikhs, and the Sikhs continued swinging their swords. There are numerous accounts all over the world of soldiers writhing up shafts, blades or bayonets and killing the person who ran them through. One of my favorite examples was in the Middle Ages, when a Scottish highlander attacked a mounted English knight with a claymore, and got skewered by the knight's lance and pinned into the earth. The highlander literally forced himself up the shaft, writhed up the wood, and managed to strike the knight's greave with a sword before expiring. I also recall, during the Napoleonic War, accounts of Frenchmen charging line infantry, being shot up to several times, and still running forth and bayonetting the people who shot them. It's a difficult subject for sure, but yes, most people will die from injury, but some are just crazy hard to kill, as George pointed out.
