I just got my hands on Elysium and so I decided to watch it being aware that it is a mecha anime. I usually, dislike big robots clashing with each other, but i could just bear it for the duration of the movie.
What I found instead, is great action, and good battle scenes. *SPOILERS* Obviously, the Matrix came before Elysium, and the game Anachronox came before Matrix, so one ripped off the other and so on, Elysium uses Matrix technology in slow-motions, and camera rotations.
In Elysium Four "Knights" are chosen to protect the Earth from what appears to be a mistake and a plan for world domination. The animations are very well done, except maybe for the characters, but it's all a matter of getting used to it really, because by the end, i saw a flawless animation as the three remaining Knights fly out.
Don't expect a perfect computer animated anime though, maybe with a bigger budget things would be better, but maybe they were not needed, hence my rating of 8/10 for a watchable and enjoyable Anime. I never knew they made that stuff in South Korea, thumbs up.
