Aeon Flux

If you love Aeon too this is a great addition to the collection.I cannot say much more about it since if you are looking at this you have already decided to get it you are just looking for reassurance. I am not hear to give you that, but I can say that I love it and did not regret it once.

She's too sexy and the stories are like a convoluted dream with peculiar intricacies and surprises around every turn of the twisted labyrinth that is her world. I also enjoy the music_ it works very well. Aeon, our long-legged lady in leather is ready to tease, please and kill on a whim. I hope they reissue this DVD, because it's far too brilliant a work to be out of stock. A very Original vision; she will haunt you in a wonderful way.

image could be crisper, but still cool

One of the best animated series to come out of the MTV “Liquid Television” series.

Great

Title says it all. Also, it's only a sampling of the show, and now that the movie is out you can buy all the episodes together in a set.

Awesome tv show

Ah, the weirdness found in snips and snaps from the old "MTV Liquid Television" days..."Aeon Flux" was easily the most inspired efforts from those brilliantly twisted pseudo-underground types back in the day...and thanks to Peter Chung's latter day successes with the "Matriculated" episode from "The Animatrix" and the "Reign: The Conqueror" series, maybe those who weren't on board during the era when grunge was king will give these earlier made-for-basic-cable exercises in sex (such as it was) and violence (as it always is) another look.This was my informal introduction to anime, and although it lacks most of the essential elements of the genre, I still feel "Aeon Flux" better captures its finest qualities, so much so that more often than not I find myself drawn away from the round-faced, big watery-eyed (and dog-whistley high-pitched female voices) of most anime artists even now.Most anime purists for some reason don't rate this at all (for what anyone else's opinions are worth), but I've never understood WHY...it's got the elements of every decent adult-oriented anime I've ever seen...scantily-clad women, gratuitous violence, and a detached sense of things which seemingly happen for no clearly defined reason (this is especially the case in the shorts taken from the "Liquid Television" series as opposed to the half-hour episodes selected from the "Aeon Flux" series...though even those don't seem to have begun from a specific point). This is a good collection of episodic animation that you won't need to buy an additional 5-10 DVD's to complete; the artwork does look a bit dated and possibly could have used better production values...but keep in mind that this was never supposed to be more than a warm-up act for "120 Minutes" on Sunday nights. I think all things considered, it holds up well and does serve notice that Peter Chung was definitely and up-and-comer in the animation world. Well-recommended (if you can find it, of course)...good luck!

There was a time, in the early 1990's , when MTV was more than just wallpaper. Grunge had just opened the hearts of many a youth to emotions that had long been oppressed by bad 80's hairdos and 70's freedom and the powers that be at MTV, in a visionary moment, must have decided to go Victorian on the world; they were gonna 'teach and delight'.Music wasn't as easy, and accessible then as it seems now and shows such as MTV's Head Bangers Ball and MTV's Alternative Nation weren't afraid to show this. When MTV launched their Real World, life itself turned out to be not that easy. MTV Sports showed that the fun in life shouldn't be sought in front of a TV, or even in music. And let us not forget Beavis and Butthead; MTV taking a piss at the whole of society as well as the record industry. All of these show were a true delight. And then there was MTV's Oddities, not so much a show as an umbrella under which three very distinct and very different cartoons where shown. These cartoons where: The Head; an alien invasion of Earth can only be stopped by another alien, living inside the now disproportionate head of an ordinary human; the least interesting of these three in my modest opinion, The Max; a multidimensional tale of alter egos, parallel universes, hopes, dreams & traumatic experiences; a cartoon equivalent to Twin Peaks or the Sandman (the whole series has been released on one single video; a recommended buy) and Æon Flux; a futuristic tale that combines familiar elements of the Cold War, recently 'won' by the US, such as the Vietnam War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the divided Berlin, the Star Wars-missile shield, (counter-)espionage and a unclear distinction between good and bad, with social and cultural criticism. Æon Flux, created by artist Peter Chung, was first aired in the US in 1991. It wouldn't be aired in Europe for another year. It's unorthodox portrait of human beings; shown with elongated limbs, reminiscent of Egyptian art during the reign of the rebel Pharaoh Akhnaten, it's dark corrupt society and the protagonist, Æon Flux, herself; perhaps the ultimate anarchist cyber punk icon, combined with the episodes topics, religion, politics, genetic manipulation, hope, salvation, oppression, war, love, lust... all of life was represented, caused this series to be an instant cult success. MTV aired three seasons of Æon Flux, and have released all of the episodes on three videos.Three seasons, three videos, that seems logical, but for some reason MTV has decided not to adhere to the order in which the episodes were aired. Nevertheless these videos are true gems. When seen in isolation, they paint a picture of a society both recognizable and estranging. When viewed in succession MTV, with this series, finally manages to realize its lofty Victorian goals.

Wieder einmal kämpft Aeon Flux gegen ihren Erzfeind Trevor Goodchild. Das Ganze ist wie auch die anderen Kompilationen meist bizarr bis hin zu psychedelisch.Aeon Flux ist eine Comic-Serie, die früher auf MTV unter dem Motto "Oddities" neben "The Maxx" und "The Head" lief. Ganz dem MTV-Stil verpflichtet, lebt diese SF-Serie von schnellen Schnitten. Die Charaktere sind raffiniert und vertrackt wie sonst in keiner Comic-Serie.Aeon Flux ist ein echter Klassiker und darf in keiner Sammlung von Comic-Fans, die es gern etwas abgedrehter haben, fehlen.

After all these years, it's still good.
