Was this a full series, or just a short? Because it looks really good.

I really enjoyed the series as well.

It is broken into many seperate stories all done by different animators. The clip shown is from the history of how the matrix came to be.

Oh, well I'll probably still watch it then, although this alone looks like a good setup for a story.

The combat kind of reminded me of Hellsing a little bit.

It perfectly shows how merciless the machines are. The whole two episodes are very well done. My favorite of all the stories. They are not all as violent as this one. But the thing I loved about the Ani-matrix was that it explained so much of the world of the matrix that the movies just never did. It brought a lot of life to the world.

Yeah, for some reason I like stories with brutal (or otherwise merciless) villains since it adds an extra level of intimidation to them. The machine cutting open the mech suit was a perfect example of that.

I get what you mean. I am not always a fan of excessive violence(?) but if it is really well done and fits into the story properly, I will enjoy it for the drama. Yeah, that scene and the Harvestors give me goosebumps.

Some of them were cool, the animators the got were top notch.
Its sad how much they screwed up the possible franchise with the third one.

Seriously george lucas should point to that third movie any time somone complains about the phantom menance.

In my opinion there's "excessive" (Mortal Kombat comes to mind) but then there's scenes like the Harvestor where it's pulled off well and makes the villains scary.

Haha, yeah. The third matrix was ok. But yeah, not the best. Typically when I feel like watching the series, I watch the first then the ani-matrix then the second and then stop there.

Yeah, very well put. Plus the realism of the harvestor scene makes it easier to watch for me. just how I am. And I need to read hellsing again. It has been a long time.

Fuck man, that Harvestor scene

There's not much horror that gets to me. But the voice actor, and the imagery - I didn't even expect them to actually RIP him out of the suit.

The whole thing was surreal and whacked me out. Especially that "Four Horsemen" image that was superimposed over a lot of it.

I was expecting them to do something to him, but I thought it'd be more along the lines of "stab him and move on".

I was thinking they'd just pull him out, a-la "bodysnatchers".

Then I realized. Oh shit, his arms and legs are still strapped in.

Harvestor what are you doing.

Seatbelts aren't supposed to work that way.

Another part I liked was the people bowing down to the vehicles and the religious leaders going around. It just added more to the feeling of "something isn't right here".

The build-up before that scene increases that as well.

It's been a long time since I've seen a build-up like that to be honest.
