Having never seen the Matrix, but being a loyal anime collector, I came across this high ranked animated feature. Never in my life has I seen something as close as brilliant and poetically nightmarish that Ghost in the Shell has delivered, bringing the Matrix franchise closer to 'art and soul' than 'blockbuster'. Some of the amazingly dramatic episodes in this feature may make Animatrix a parallel brother to Ghost in the Shell itself.
