Title: The Animatrix...
Post by: Unknown Target on May 09, 2003, 05:34:50 pm
Is bad. As in very. Sure, it's great animation and stuff, but I DO NOT want to buy it when it comes out. I mean, sure, violence is good, but not MIND-BLOWING violence. I mean, in the blast-o-gore part of the preview (of episode 1), the robot kills 7 kittens, stabs a man thru the face, and we get a close-up of him crushing a pleasent-looking (as in nice, not hot) women's face, and her eyes pop out and brain explodes.
I'm serious, the animation is great, but still, I don't like it.

Didn't see the kittens bit. Anyway, wasn't all that bad.

Look closely, you'll see them. They're all over the place. Look for the blood splotches.

hmm... I think it was quite cool actually. haven't seen the 3rd one? "a detective story". very nice, black and white, like those old thrillers, and even get to see an anime version of trinity :)
for the gore, you only get to see it in the renaissance ep.

Thing that got me about that episode, 'The Second Renaisaince', was that I didn't like the deisgn of the robots or the style of the animation. They didn't seem to fit in with the Matrix at all... and then there's the quite explicit violence (like those guys beating up the robot girl) which seems out of place with the animation. Very odd... UT, have you seen the other episodes, like 'Program' or 'Detective Story'? They're good. And the 'Final Flight Of The Osiris' is a must see :nod:

I liked them all, the second rennaisance (sic) was sad.

Couldn't find the exact download location for the later ones. All I saw is the first one. Will try to look for the later ones.

EDIT: I go to the site, and click on the Episode, but I don't have an option to download it, even under the "downloads" menu.

You can get Renaisance, Program and Detective Story at FilePlanet... though of course you'll need a fat pipe or a very long phone call :)

Get Osiris over Kazaa, it's been filmed at the Cinehouse but it's watchable. Wait... can I say that? *hides from admins*

I didn't like the first one either but the second and third ones are quite good... third being the Detective Story and therefore the best.

THe official site only offers streaming versions.

I liked Detective Story a lot. I won't be buying it, though... don't have that kind of money to throw around on cartoons. ;)
