Is The Animatrix Worth Buying?

[Vance]

I just saw the whole thing for the first time last night. It was definitely worth it. About 5 or 6 of the episodes are true anime, with some fuzzy areas inbetween (like the guy who did Aeon Flux and Reign did one, I don't know if you consider that anime or not.)

Oddly enough, the most impressive and inventive animation was in the two pieces that were blatantly not anime (4 and 6.)

For all nine pieces taken as a whole, it is really excellent. I loved it.
