Usually when people talk about action scenes they just mean fight scenes, but for here any chase scenes, race scenes, or other intense get your heart pumping scenes count too. What are some of your favorite such scenes from animation, whether animated films or tv series, and whether anime or western cartoons?
To get things started one of my favorite action scenes is actually just of someone falling down...
But talk about falling with style!
There's a lot that makes this scene great. Usually in films or whatever people either fall to their death, get saved by someone, or manage to grab a hold of something. This scene ignores all those expected tropes and makes her fall out of a building into perhaps the highlight of the whole violent film, and that's saying something. She's screaming (because who wouldn't?) fighting that one guy who fell out the window with her, there's a bridge and street collapse, a surprisingly high body count, and a freaking explosion that throws her out of the hole and through another window a couple floors or so up. Like I said it's one of my favorite scenes of all times because it takes something I've seen many times before, someone falling out of or off of a tall building, and completely does something I've never seen done before in that situation. No bloody splat at the bottom, no hanging off a flagpole, no grabbing a clothesline and Tarzan'ing through a window into another floor's room, just complete over the top spectacle ending in a bang. I think more film and tv series makers need to be shown this film and namely this scene in particular.
