While not my favorite, I found this short to be a fine addition to the bunch. The drawing/animation style of the animator was interesting, with his low use of on-screen action other than the point you are intended to concentrate on, and his grainy, wavy style. The story was somewhat good, and I liked the concept. It ties in well with the films, with a story that introduces a character that(whilst widely unpopular, to the point of being described as the Jar Jar Binks of the Matrix franchise,) appears in the two last parts of the trilogy, by integrating very true-to-the-source-material Agents, and by having Neo and Trinity appear for what can best be described as cameos, I guess. The skateboarding sequence also looked pretty cool. The voice acting was good, there wasn't really any point where it seemed out of place, which is good, because much of this short relies on dialog. I liked the few metaphors and hints that it had, and I think they were very well-integrated into the film. All in all, not the best of the shorts, but certainly not bad. I recommend it to fans of the Matrix phenomenon, and fans of Japanese Animé. 7/10
