Simply astonishing. They also have the Animatrix dvd trailer online. I submit that trailer and the just released Animatrix short of unrefutable proof anime is anything but cheap kiddy garbage as some say.

But wow...between The Matrix Reloaded, Revolutions, Animatrix dvd, and Enter the Matrix PS23 game...this is definately the year of The Matrix!

**azure turtle** · 02-05-2003, 01:09 AM

Oh WOW... That was incredible. I'll keep my eyes out for that DVD.

**Karpo_007** · 02-05-2003, 01:43 AM

I posted about Animatrix a week back but no one replied... Well So episode 1 is out now? It is a must get for All Matrix fans...

EDIT: Damn the largest file is a 140mb *.mov file... If there is intrest I could encode it to DIVX. Let me know.

*Nickokapo* · 02-05-2003, 03:11 AM

There's a matrix anime?

OMFG!
I didn't knew that :p i'll try get the encode of the 1st ep since it's already out, to check it out....i loved the movie, the anime can't be bad.
Edit: Ahhhhhhhhhh you're supposed to watch it online

i thought it was on tv or something

Well in that case i'll just wait for the dvd-rips instead of getting either the mov version or the divx conversion

i'll post my thoughts on it when it's done loading.

**Karpo_007** · 02-05-2003, 05:30 AM

You don't need to watch it online, you can download the mov. But the largest is 140mb... Just put your cursor on the movie and you will see the link. Or if you want I can PM it to to you...

*Nickokapo* · 02-05-2003, 05:50 AM

Thanks karpo, but it seems i already have it...see when i watched it online it saved it in the cache of my browser (a 141 mb file called opr003Q8.mov) so i guess i'll just move it from there.

i loved this short, i can't wait for the next one...needless to say the animation was top-notch as it's usually the case in anime movies/ovas/shorts, and i love cgi animation so it's a plus...ya, to put it simple animation is gorgeous

they made a wise decision in hiring japanese animators to animate this.
Plot was also good, tho the music was louder than voices/sounds and i didnt wanted to turn all the volume up, so i didnt understand all that much, but basically it's a story about man creating robots in the future and robots betraying them, then riots start...pretty neat

i was expecting it to be more or less like the live action movie but they seemed to do a whole new plot

**Karpo_007** · 02-05-2003, 08:23 AM

I haven't watched it yet, Quiktime doesn't do full screen and I want to watch it wth my TV... So either il need to convert it to divx or find a player wich supports *mov files and full screen.

Indeed! Just look at Season One TMNT

heh

Seriously though, I cannot see how any of the anime detractors on here or elsewhere can even say anime sucks with a straight face after seeing this. I mean you'd only be kidding yourself to think anime sucks once youve taken a gander at this thing...and its only ONE of NINE breathtaking and astonishing anime Matrix shorts to come!

Donatello02 · 02-05-2003, 02:38 PM

Anime DOES suck. And don't even go off saying that the new turtles show is animated by japanese people. That's probably the most ignorant thing I've ever heard for a good while. Anime is pretty much CRAP. The big eyes, the off colored hair, the annoying voice overs, it's all firggin stupid. But that's my opinion.

Raphael-sama · 02-05-2003, 02:43 PM

One: the new cartoon ISN'T being done by Japanese people.

And two: the annoying voiceover problem isn't with the anime itself, but the people who dub it. Anime rarely gets a good dubbing job when brought over to America-which is why I stick to subs. Your other two problems are simply refusals to accept another kind of art style. The hair, sure, you might hate it, but look what people are dieing their hairs to nowadays! And the eyes... I must be the only person who likes the eyes. Allows for more expression (and makes anime chicks all the cuter for it

)

Prowl · 02-05-2003, 03:10 PM

Sweet, I need to download that and put it on a DVD. Finally!!! I can't wait for the Square Pictures episode.

**Karpo_007** · 02-05-2003, 03:31 PM

I heard that the square short will only be available on DVD...

Prowl · 02-05-2003, 04:48 PM

DOH!

Yeah... I heard that too. A few of the shorts will be exclusive to the DVD release.

Boy, some people really don't know what they're talking about!

Oh and BTW, Anime does NOT suck!!!

Donatello02 · 02-05-2003, 06:15 PM

WTF, yeah ok so I dont agree with you so I'm automatically wrong. Yeah why don't you get off your high horse and shut up. I could care less if I was the only person that dislikes anime, that doesn't mean I'm wrong. I stick to my opinion, ANIME STILL SUCKS.

**Kali** · 02-05-2003, 06:19 PM

Please don't turn this into an Anime arguement. It's alright for people not to like what you like. But that also does NOT give them the right to say it sucks.

I agree with the expressions part. Human eyes are very expressive, but subtly. Sometimes those exaggerated expressions and reactions and features help get the point across better.

Of course, there are other techniques. And if you don't like the style, that's your thing, but please don't bash it.

Donatello02 · 02-05-2003, 06:40 PM

I'll respect your opinion as long as your respect mine. By saying I'm wrong, how does that make right? ALRIGHT THEN, so lets just leave it to personal preferences and forget about it.

*Anarchistguy* · 02-05-2003, 07:02 PM

Sounds like a plan!

LOL! Guess someone didnt see the Animatrix trailer or new short! Well when you can get quicktime working for the link, come back and tell us anime sucks. Also be sure to close your eyes at all the anime influenced parts of the new TMNT show...wouldnt want 'anime sucking' thoughts to ruin the show for ya

Btw, people do know Transformers *is* anime right? Just feel bad for kids these days who only know of crappy kiddy garbage when it comes to anime on tv.
