i have see three of the animatrix episode and and this be my favorite of all of them . the second renaissance provide a flimsy back story to the already flimsy universe . program be a stylistically impressive number and it just felt kind of silly . i guess what give this one it special touch be the direction from shinichiro watanabe and director of the incredibly popular ( and for good reason ) series cowboy bebop . it have some of the best element of bebop represent slick and sci fi adventure and a no nonsense and slightly apathetic hero work for hire and a bounty head ( more or less ) and and a chase scene and all wrap up in an excellent film noir packaging . watanabe tarantino style slickness come through here full throttle .
