Aeon Flux - The Complete Animated Collection

Nothing else like it

I purchased this used "very good" condition copy for a little less than new. I'm glad I did. I got way more than what they show for the new. The discs are in the excellent, fun packaging of the hey day of DVDS.

I had to watch this at least three times and I still don't know what's going on. I'm sure it follows the comics and retails beloved stories that I never read, or something. It's still quite entertaining though and the art is unique enough and interesting enough to be worth a watch by itself. It's kinda campy.

I grew up watching Aeon Flux on MTV back when it aired, this is such an amazing animated show! For mature audiences only, teen and up; Aeon Flux is out to bring down the man, and the man is Trevor. He sits inside his home/government building, a white house type place, surrounded by a labryinth of hedges and booby-traps, just waiting to kill anyone who tries to get in! Aeon is that skilled assassin! However, can she take him down? The two have an incredible dynamic I always enjoyed from the series, bumbling into sexual tension that even transformed well into the movie, but nevermind that, you'll see amazing animated scenes that were transformed onto film, but here are the original versions. The woman who's all feet, the couple disappearing in the garden, the clones.... It all makes for amazing episode after episode, and amazes me after watching it again that they managed to fit it all into only one movie! All the same, it also amazes me that this "cartoon" went away so soon after airing, it seemed it was on longer than that, but alas it was released long before its time I think, for it is one of those that speaks more to this generation than to the last. Rewatching it over again after all these years, I understood it in a whole new way and on a whole new level. It's a brilliant show with many depths to be uncovered, but I suppose my favorite has always been the complicated love of two that can never be together. It's very Romeo and Juliet for they are on opposite ends, only it isn't their parent's rivaling forces, they are the heads of their own rights. Trevor the man in charge of everything Aeon opposes, and Aeon the rogue who is out to stop everything he is trying to do. A very interesting dynamic indeed. Sure they have teams behind each of them, but it makes for an interesting watch all the same. From a futuristic perspective as well as a humanistic one. Highly recommended to all!

How can this not come up in top 10 animations!? Yea it's not japanese but it can definitely compete! I watch an episode at night and it's very calming for some reason maybe it's because the dialog is very little But the visuals are cool and the stories unique, Give AEON FLUX a try you'll appreciate it...And by the way the live action movie gave this franchise NO JUSTICE, IN MY OPINION THE MOVIE SUCKS....STICK TO THE ANIMATED VERSION 😀

Thank you.

I'm old enough to have fond memories of "Liquid Television" on MTV. I loved Aeon then, but never saw the full series. Here we get the full collection and it is better than I remembered. Very satisfying.

I'd always wanted to check out Aeon Flux, after seeing it mentioned as a show of note on a documentary on the Animatrix DVD quite some time ago. The only good thing to come out of the lousy film adaptation was that this boxed set was released. Now, being cheap, I waited for the price to come down a bit, and during that period a friend showed me the entire series, which kind of wet my appetite for it, and now that the boxed set was ony $14, I had to have it.The show itself:Perfect blend of action, adventure and philosophy, to the point that Aeon walking around wearing a leather chastity belt and a gun does not even really register as something of note after one episode. The animation itself makes some very interesting commentary on the standard of beauty by taking it and warping it to such extremes that the characters cease to be attractive. Chung also takes some liberties sexuality by once again taking it to extremes, to the point of distortion. The short "gravity" possibly has the most disgusting kiss I've ever seen. Or the Furry/zoo episode (depending on how you want to look at it). There are also some episodes where things are played for straight melodrama (the end of "thanatophobia", with the little boy) but these episodes manage to be good as well.The boxed set:The DVDs arrived on time and unscratched. It was Scant on special features, but this show is old, I didn't expect much. The commentary was much appreciated although most of it did not really have any interesting information. One of the featurettes was terrible, it was simply Aeon talking about what all of her gear did. Great, I figured that out from watching the show. I do appreciate the order the episodes were put in, particularly that the pilot was last. That ending could have been jarring to a first-time viewer. Sound and picture quality were acceptable.

DVD de très bonne qualité visuelle. La série est excellente, innovatrice et dans la lignée de classiques américains comme Heavy Metal (1981).

La calidad de dvd en los episodios es la esperada, el problema es q no tiene subttítulos en ningún idioma

Merci ^_^

La edición de la serie está muy cuidada, aunque soy de los que prefieren menús de navegación un tanto más simples o minimalistas, incluso. En cuanto al aspecto puramente formal de la colección no tengo queja; además, el diseño de la caja es precioso.

Five stars
