Digital archeology is going to be an interesting field sooner or later, sooner from the looks of this.

It's amusing to see the video sizes - "Large bandwidth 640x272"

My, how times have changed...

They don't, but if you have Netflix you can watch it there. It was recently added.

I'm not an anime fan, but The Second Renaissance 1 & 2 are excellent.

Plus, the non-native plugin support (is it shockwave?)

To my mind, the animatrix was a better successor to the matrix than the sequels ever were. (Then again, just about anything would be.) It showcases the history of the matrix, pleads a case for the machine, and shows life in the matrix. It's an underwatched not-quite-masterpiece that is still excellent.

I recently re-watched the sequels and came to find myself puzzled by the amount of vitriol they receive. Can you explain what your objection to them were? I found them at least entertaining, and consistent with the original. They were by no means above criticism, but I certainly don't think they deserve the level of scorn you typically see.

Agreed. This was one of my first exposures to anime, when I got this on DVD. It was pretty engrossing.
