The Matrix, I ought to have known that the Japanese would pick up on this movie. It owes a lot to the Manga and Anime that the Japanese youth have spent the last thirty years growing up with.

I've downloaded some of the clips. Fascinating how the group mentality is used by fans to create something that just wouldn't happen in London or LA. It owes a lot to the Harajuku dancers and performers, like the Takenokuzoku of old. Very well organised for a fan-based bit of street theatre.

Dude....the blacksuits over here are the epitome of the Smith clones. They are all over the place...I can go to Tokyo, Osaka or Sapporo and find the exact same suit in the exact same color right along side the children's school uniforms.

THE SMITHS WERE HERE BEFORE THE MATRIX MOVIE....THIS IS THE MATRIX...
