It’s been reported that Dennou Coil has been in the works for a decade, and The Matrix came out 1999. I wouldn’t be surprised if The Matrix had an influence on Dennou Coil, which in turn may have been reciprocated in Beyond a few years later. Wouldn’t that be something?

Now that you mention it, I can definitely see the similarities between Beyond and Dennou Coil and, like IKnight, it was one of my favorite shorts from the Animatrix too (along with “Kid’s Story” and “The Second Renaissance”). I wonder if that’s when the fundamental ideas for the show were born? Saying this, I can still hardly wait for Studio 4C’s “Genius Party”… Looks just as good as the Animatrix.

Hmm, Beyond was my favourite part of the Animatrix thingies (short films? not sure how to describe them). Long time since I watched any of them, though.
