The principle of hypersociability is most widely used in Japanese pop culture, examples of which include Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokémon, which used multiplayer games separate from the original media. The Wachowskis deliberately incorporated elements of hypersociability for The Animatrix by seeking the help of Japanese animators.
A key concept in Japanese pop culture is the idea of interdependence, as seen in Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokémon, which employed separate multiplayer games from the original source material. The Wachowskis deliberately wove elements of interdependence into The Animatrix by working with Japanese animators.
