Oh don't be so negative Frontier, I'm a smart reasoneble guy. And I adore The Matrix trilogy + Animatrix (ok, you hate Matrix 1 and 2, fair .But how can you not like Animatrix?) I think Zebedee should give the trilogy a shot. He will of cource like the number 1 the most as we all do. But if you get the "point", the irony of the trilogy.. Then it kinda makes more sense. Do you get the irony of the movies Frontier?
If you like Manga you should also be able to enjoy the Matrix universe, since it is build and inspired by Manga, just look at Ghost In The Shell.. The intro is the same as in The Matrix, the number just goes sideways, hehe
