memNOC Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 although many people mentioned their favorites throughout different threads, a genuine poll of sorts was never made, to my knowledge.. if it was, feel free to lock/delete/whatever this.. i just saw the Animatrix shorts (no "Welcome to last week" or "You are here" jokes :crazy:), and was much more pleased and entertained than i ever was with Reloaded.. it just takes the same story from the first one, and builds on it logically, helping to establish a more interesting and tightly-knit storyline than Reloaded's weak attempt.. anyway, my favorites were "Last Flight of the Osiris" (amazing visuals, more character development in the 10 mins it lasted than in the whole Reloaded, and some actual sense of struggle and hope.. really outstanding piece) and "World Record" (great animation and thought behind this one.. one of the more conceptual shorts of the bunch).. and please, lets not make this another Reloaded thread.. i merely mentioned it for the sake of comparison.. im really interested in everyones responses.. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destrux Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I love Final Flight of the Osiris myself as well. Very beautiful visuals not to mention a great way to lay out the story in such little time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123_kid Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 The Second Renaissance. It helps clarify the Matrix saga so well. After seeing it, I think the machines were justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velocity3k Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 The best episode on the DVD was "The Second Renaissance", purely because it filled you in on all the backstory to the whole saga. My next favourite would have to be "Kid's Story", the animation on that was superb, the way the music and animation fit together was also amazing. The only episode that i truly disliked was "Matriculated", it was extremely boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BxBoy Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Graphics wise, Final Flight of the Osiris. But overall plot, I would go with Second Renaissance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neowin_hipster Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 who the hell voted world record. Hmm. that one sucked. Renaissance, part II. Simply the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Allen Veteran Posted July 3, 2003 Veteran Share Posted July 3, 2003 Graphics wise, Final Flight of the Osiris. But overall plot, I would go with Second Renaissance. Exactly. Final Flight had the most realistic computer animation ever created however the plot was slow and not as thought provolking as the others. Second Renaissance was just amazing. The combination of original cell animation and computer animation made it a visual treat as well. With the complex storyline and backstory to the first Matrix movie it is no question my favorite.

aaron901 Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 graphics wise, i think Second Renaissance owns Final Flight of the Osiris. the style of mahero maeda is spectacular.. btw, final flight of the osiris isn't even anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fedr0 Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 To me would be Beyond, where it shows how the machines work into the Matrix to try to reduce the imperfections in their own creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacey Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Graphics wise, Final Flight of the Osiris. But overall plot, I would go with Second Renaissance. I agree... i didn't like the animation and graphics in the 2nd renaissance very much but it provided some good history behind the matrix world. final flight of the osiris was just cool :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Allen Veteran Posted August 5, 2003 Veteran Share Posted August 5, 2003 btw, final flight of the osiris isn't even anime. You need to brush up on your anime history before you throw a comment like that. The Matrix is being hailed as the first "live-action" anime film ever created. That said, when the creators of the Animatrix got together they wanted to do a tribute to anime and it's culture. The Final Flight of the Osiris might not be the traditional cell animated anime film but there are definetly aspects of traditional anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
