Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust was a beautiful film, and I would argue that the Madhouse contribution the Animatrix was the best of the set.

The Animatrix is a quick fix of a multitude of themes, each of which has generally been extricated from an aspect of the original film and put under the microscope for ten minutes.

The complete 'Animatrix' had a few screenings in cinemas, but they were pretty much one-offs.

I think, back then, they were talking about doing something with 'The Kid' played by Clayton Watson – but that might have turned into the "Animatrix"
