Thread: Anime with live action

(besides some o' those mentioned) Lots of them actually...

You get a lot of these live clippings in Samurai X, most notably in the ending sequence that covers most of the Shishio arc episodes (Bonnie Pink-It's Gonna Rain).

Naruto (Shippuden included) used it a couple of times too but with all those episodes and arcs i can't specifically point out where and when it was used.

If my memory serves me correctly, Oji the Section Chief uses silhouettes of a headbanging guitarist in its opening sequence (John Sykes-Cautionary Warning). It's been 8 years since i last saw Oji on TV so i'm not really a 100% confident with this answer. Maybe 85....but not a 100...

Gate Keepers which was set in a post-WWII Japan has live images of Japan during those years in its opening sequence.

In the notable culinary-themed anime, Mr. Ajikko, there's a video of a chef doing kitchen work during its ending sequence.

Prince of tennis doesn't really have a lot of action. I would say Hellsing and Bleach. Death Note has plenty of action.
