Wow!

Warning: Spoilers
Aeon Flux is pure awesomeness. Maybe it is just because I am a fan of dystopia/utopia and cyberpunk action. But well, Aeon Flux was much more then that. The shorts were great even though there wasn't much talking in them. When the dialogue came in I didn't mind, the lines were natural, funny at times and also highly philosophical when required. The relationship between Trevor and Aeon is pure gold. They have completely different views on the world but still they love/hate each other (although not explicitly stated in the series). The story never falls into corniness or cliché approaches. If there is something I can complain about it's the fact that the episodes weren't connected so linear action is out of the question. There IS a plot and character development unlike what many people say and there IS a satisfactory enough ending which leaves nothing unanswered. Character-wise Aeon and Trevor are very humane at some points, there is no real antagonist and even though the motives behind them are not very clear, they exist. The animation is top notch, the music fits well. It's such an eye candy-action packed-masterfully directed series! For those who say it's Matrix-like I have to say they probably haven't understood neither Matrix nor Aeon Flux which is pretty sad.

10/10 Awesome!!
