He didn't make it? Why was he turning into an agent?

Cat throws him his hat haha.

What is up with film noire Big O-like world in this short?

T__T

I don't recall the tone emitting cross walks at all. Strange I have never seen this in any other anime. I'm not remembering these Animatrix shorts very well either.

I thought for sure the kids were lying about the cat being there. So this abandoned building must be a glitch in the matrix. Yeah that truck and those suits don't look suspicious at all hahaha.

By the way, what the hell content got edited in this when we saw that robot rip that guy's head apart?! Also that asshole robot didn't have to kill the cats!

Naw, those phones fold!

That kid sounds like Naruto.

So is this actually a cross-promotion, or Toonami just taking advantage of the Matrix hype for the new movie and playing this?

Yeah, the more this world is expanded upon, the more the premise falls apart. The first movie worked well by itself, but beyond that... Still, you think the writers' of this could have at least done some basic scientific research. Unless maybe they were forced to follow stuff the Wachowskis had laid out.

When this was made, it was initially meant to be taking place in "present day." x_x

LOL why'd he go in the girls room?

Man this animation is whack.

"Ringing tones." Hahaha. A flip phone. Fuck that makes me feel old.

How were the machines never able to clean all that shit out of the air?

Superhuman running?

One nitpick I have, yeah, the robots wouldn't be harmed by the radiation from the nukes (actually they probably would, radiation is harmful to technology, plus nukes also create an EMP,) but they'd still get blown the hell up! So that didn't make much sense. They should have said the machines had underground factories that were able to replenish their forces.

I thought it was funny how primitive the robots looked in the backstory. I wouldn't have expected those kinds of designs.

Good to finally have a release window. I could have sworn it was supposed to come out sooner, but maybe I am misremembering, or things got pushed back. And yeah, do NOT do a 1:1 adaptation of the last arc. There are lots of things that got glossed over or never followed up on, some stuff that was off-paneled some stuff that was just never shown or referenced period again. I understand Kubo was sick and later found out he had a fracture in his drawing arm, so had to end things somewhat abruptly. But if he knew he wasn't feeling well, why didn't he budget his time better? There were lots of repetitive scenes and things dragged out that weren't necessary, which could have given time to other stuff that desperately needed it.

So there's no Animatrix thread? Haha.

What was the gas that was leaking out of the machine? It didn't seem to lead to anything.

I think the music is better than the show itself lol.

Oh shit so Wallace was responsible after all.
