The Animatrix
The rewatch continues with The Animatrix. It's harder to judge this one, as it's the only animated one in the series, and is also a bunch of different shorts taking place at vaious different times in the chonology. This is why I am doing these in release order instead of chronologically.
Some of the shorts are prequels, some take place between the movies, and some have no specific timeframe and could take place at any time before, during, or after the original trilogy. They are considered canon, though, so I included them in the rewatch.
I amd not a huge anime fan, but I remember enjoying these when they came out, and I still enjoyed them on this rewatch. The styles they're done in varies, and I quite enjoyed the different ways they were animated. The range from more traditional anime to near-realistic, almost uncanny valley, type of animation. And the stories really flesh out the universe a bit, which gives the entire series much more depth.
