I got woken up this morning at 9am (thankfully, only half an hour before my alarm usually starts blaring) by the door buzzer. “Package for ya.” Rock on. Hauled myself out of bed, tossed on clothes, and stumbled downstairs.<\/p>\n
End result — thanks to Amazon, I’ve got my copy of The Animatrix one day before its official street date. As long as I was awake, and didn’t have to actually wander out to my bus stop until around noon, I popped in the disc.<\/p>\n
Very, very cool.<\/p>\n
The Animatrix (just in case you didn’t catch my earlier<\/a> posts<\/a>) is a collection of nine animated short subjects expanding the universe portrayed in the Matrix films.<\/p>\n My favorite two episodes are Final Flight of the Osiris<\/a> (incredible near photorealistic animation from the team behind Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within<\/a>, and the sexiest sword fight I’ve ever seen) and Beyond<\/a> (nice animation, and a quietly magical story).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" End result — thanks to Amazon, I’ve got my copy of The Animatrix one day before its official street date.
