I thought that was really good... not sure about how that qualifies as anime, but still the same Matrix :D

Cool fight scenes too :)

I must agree. The animation quality (CG) was really good.

Well so long as it was made in Japan it counts as an anime. A good one too I might add, really liked the fight scenes, and the CG looked so real!

Promising. I thought this was a great episode with lots of nice action, especially the sword fight. Beautiful visuals too.

the fight scene at the beginning and the fact that everyone died at the end were the only things about it that were really appealing

Wow, that was great. The art was probably the most realistic I've ever seen. The fight scene was well choreographed, I liked how they know we don't want to see guy booty so they only showed the female. It's perfect as a prequel, if this was a stand alone it might get a 9 or 10.

8/10

A good prequel to the actual story. And the CGI was very good for those times.

Wow I am blown away. I was expecting some half assed CGI and this was amazing.
Choreography of the first fight was 8/10,
The CGI was awesome.
And I can't believe I'm saying this But the english dub was waaaay better than the japanese.
I'm gonna actively start spreding this. This is the only "anime" where english dub is better than japanese.

Well done. Well done.

Oh also ass 10/10. thank you for that.

Putting the animation side, there was not much to offer.

And still, Bill will live on.
He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god.
And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living,
until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet.
Until the sun is long since gone.
Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars
and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open.
Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from.
He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out.
