Comic books and anime were a big influence:

The Invisibles (Grant Morrison) is about a character referred to as “The One” whose destiny is to free humanity.

And the Wachowskis themselves cited animes Akira (1988) and Ninja Scroll (1993) as major influences.

The Animatrix has been a blindspot of mine for almost 20 years, so I’m glad to have finally seen this cross-medium experiment. Do Star Wars Visions, Arcane, etc exist without the Wachowskis’ trailblazing?

Program, Second Renaissance, Beyond, and Detective Story were my favorites

The Wachowskis were going for Anime accuracy, so Speed did drive like that.

And with that I am reminded it is the TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY of this underappreciated masterpiece. (2008) Directed by the Wachowskis. Still the best live action anime adaptation ever imo
