REVIEW WITH NO SPOILERS First of all, you need to watch the Matrix movie. Then you can watch this anime. The show bring us some other stories from the Matrix universe, some of them before the war with the machine (something as a prequel of the Matrix first movie) and other tell parallel stories... but all of them are really interesting. If you liked as least the first movie, then you'll probably like this. But I should warn you: the animation is pretty bad. Really bad, even if you consider the time it was made. So, if you're a Matrix and an anime fan, it will worth the badanimation, cause the stories are really awesome!
