About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like experimental animated anthologies such as The Animatrix or Memories, with wildly varied moods; Not for you if you need a single straightforward story.
Pros: bold visual variety; inventive short stories; animation fan appeal | Cons: uneven engagement; somewhat abstruse moments; less satisfying follow-up
