If anyone ever calls "Osiris" the pinnacle of digital animation again I'm going to personally punch you in the throat.
Their character design sucks ass.

animatrix... I aint even bothered seeing it. watched the trailers before they came out. Nothing special. what a fuck up that was 2 make the 2 sequels. I unfortunatly saw reloaded, havent bothered with the 3rd got a feeling its maybe just as bad as. Akira is in a different class.

cinder, are you just winding me up? The team that made "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" felt Final Flight was an improvement over even some of the methods they used in the prior film. What, in your mind, are you comparing Final Flight too, because I'm very curious.

"aint exactly apples and apples here..."
agreed.
but if a choice was to be made: akira by a long shot
a few of the animatrix shorts were on par for really good student ani-films, and the final-fantasy-film-failed-so-let... was just eye candy, no substance. i saw it once and had no desire to ever watch it again.

Akira rips the Animatrix to shreds. Both good though

The Final Fantasy team may have reached the pinnacle of realism, but Pixar can put more personality and life into a lamp than Square can in a photo-realistic person. In the end, i think this matters more.
Oh yeah, Akira over Animatrix.

a parody thread titled shakira vs. aniMoller would have been started

What are you comparing it against? Animation? Well, the Animatrix is composed of several experimental NEW styles. Akira's style is fairly old but still incredible and incomparable to alot of new animation films out now. Although Akira is close around 10 years old? It still blow us away with it's larger than life city scapes and highly detailed animation! Akira wins!
Story? Well the Animatrix is based on the great story of The Matrix. Fairly unique and very believable. When I saw the movie I totally believe the made up explaination of the great film. Akira also delivers a very big complex story of the world changing around Neo-Tokyo and also the friendship between Tetsuo and Kaneda. Akira's story is much larger and has several sub-plots. Like the General bound to the safety of Neo -Tokyo. Kanedas little love interest with Kae (can't remember her name)? The little freaky kids and Akira. Just alot of content to chew on. Akira wins again.
You can't say that Animatrix is better then Akira. Akira is just way to big of a film in many ways.
Sorry for the typos!

the first 8 episodes gave animatrix the lead but it didn't make up for that lousy technicolored orgy fest in the last episode...
akira's better
but ghost in the shell is the best.
without ghost in the shell, there would be no animatrix

without ghost in the shell, there'd be no matrix either. just wyld stallions.

Without a doubt Akira is better. The one episode of aniMatrix with the Osiris was some amazing 3D work, but about 75% of that DVD is just plain boring.
