... Which episode?

ScarletAbyss

...All of them..

Animatrix is a series of stories from various aspects of the matrix, Most occurring between The first and second movie. However some predate the first movie, such as Next Renaissance which is the history of our world.

"The Final Flight Of The Osiris": Takes place a few days before the start of Reloaded. It's plot is directly continued in Enter the Matrix, and that one begins maybe about one day or less earlier than Reloaded.

"Kid's Story": Somewhere between the first and second movie. It's Neo who frees The Kid-

"The Second Renaissance": Early 20th century of the Real. It tells about how the humans have created their Machines, about the war between the Machines and the humans, and about the Machines' victory and the humanity's enslavement.

"A Detective's Story": Purely fictional, it should take place somewhere before "The Matrix" or maybe before "Reloaded".

All others are pretty much independent from the storyline. You can interpret them into certain parts of the story yourself. You can also check out this: http://69.57.184.74/~mxoarchi/timeline.html

Thanks, that explains ALOT. I mean between a guy getting his head squished like a grape and a japanese woman fighting a black dude half naked it didn't make much sense to me. =P

I have to say, as an anime fan, I really hated almost all of them. Which was sad, cus at the convention I missed the cosplay event to view it.

**ZippyTheSquirrel**

I really enjoyed the Detective one...and the one with the Racing guy (whoo he outran haxing Agentz).

The others I didn't really care for..

Except the Kid one. That one was probably the best, because it looked the most real.

I have to say I liked nearly all of them, accept maybe matrixulated, that one was just weird and a bit hard on the eyes for some reason. The animation was nice, was my dads first real exposer to anime.

**zeroone506**

Regarding the style, I found "Program" and "Matriculated" a bit ludicrous. They had nice aspects (especially the action), but the face animations were a bit silly.

But the rest is a full success.

It's funny that you pick those two as ludicrous when there's nothing nonsensical about their animations. Matriculated's models can be considered perfect compared to the old "Aeon Flux" versions.

Different strokes...

No, it's not funny, it's just opinion. I do like "World Record" inspite of its "exaggerated" style, and the Kid's story inspite of of its turbulent, "fluent" textures.

I still do like certain aspects about these other two, and my general impression was more negative. That was at least my opinion when I watched them the last time.

Funny...weird not funny haha. Yes, and, my opinion is your opinion is strange.

**zeroone506**

Maybe we're talking about different aspects? I'm not referring to the action or the visual effects, but purely to the facial animations. Or well, human animations, especially in "Matriculated". Nothing else.

Not saying it's bad, but I'm not a huge fan of it. Just so.
