Scary, and at some parts a bit sickening... still interesting to know about the background and history of the Matrix universe.

Meh, first half was good, but then the story started to feel drawn out to me.

I thought the world leaders were portrayed as too ignorant in this part to be realistic. I mean, they wouldn't just dismiss the robot's gesture surely? (Or maybe I'm being to generous to politicians)

Honestly my first touch of the Matrix world. Was nice, but I never really liked the movies.

Some of these scenes were really disturbing but at the same time extremely fascinating. So far I'm really impressed with this OVA series. The visuals are top-notch, too.

I think second episode, or first part, was a lot better.

Just an amazing follow up from the first part, really interesting and strengthens the whole story behind The Metrix! Really great episode, up to the next!

These 2 episodes really disturbed me as a kid. It just seemed so realistic to me, you know? Like something like this *could* happen for real... On the other hand it was also extremely fascinating to see how and why the Matrix was created.

Before this it was pretty much shrouded in mystery.

yea i felt their portrayal was pretty lacking in subtlety. in fact this whole arc was. i guess you could put it down to the fact that there was very limited time to tell this story, so you get the cliffnotes version where people are ridiculous caricatures.

That was pretty dark, much more dark then I remember the movies were when I was like 12. Anyways that was pretty good too, I'm digging this through a history lesson story we are getting. It works with a large history.

So this is how the Matrix came to be? I guess the humans brought it on themself, not that i'm surprised.

Informative... Very Informative.

I agree. I kind of get lost between the movies, I didn't quite understand what happened is it all fiction or in someone's mind or what. If only I had seen this before the movies, like 15 years ago, LOL...

the best one in my opinion the original lore of the matrix blends with a beautiful and unique animation to create a brand new story that is perfectly paced

I thought these two episodes were brilliantly done, even though they're exposition/lore. There is some clever imagery.

if someone notice that my review is unaccording to the content of the episode, it's because i'm watching this in the prime video version, there, the order for me starts with 2,3 and 5 in this episode.
I love the style and the aesthetics, remembers me about ghost in the shell, and ep 2 of megazone 23 so much, i'll check the staff later.
