Bleach also does this very well, especially later on in the series when Kubo's artstyle completes its development. The art, choreography and paneling come together to create a stylized atmosphere that just elevates the story.

I need to get back into Bleach. Another one where the sheer size of it made me shy away before I could really settle in. If it’s anything like Kagurabachi artistically, I’m in.

I think a strength KB has is that it does feel like a movie (an early color spread was inspired by john wick i believe) building up momentum to the climax and that’s shown in certain shots where the panels are framed kind of like a movie still. Great read!

I definitely get John Wick vibes from it. The dedication to artful action is rarer than I thought it’d be.
