The AniMATRIX
Anime DVD Review
Take Americas most popular cyberpunk movie and combine it with nine short computer films by top Japanese and American anime directors, elaborating on THE MATRIX's themes and subplots, and you've got the makings of a winner of a DVD. The Animatrix is about as cool as it can get, essentially Ghost in the Shell meets Robot Carnival.
Featuring segments directed by such greats as Peter Chung (Aeon Flux, Reign), Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Macross Plus) and Takeshi Koike (Ninja Scroll), The Animatrix promises to be an action Tour-De-Force, while also providing background into the world of The Matrix. Four of the ANIMATRIX stories are penned by the Wachowski Brothers, with the remaining five written by the anime directors themselves.
