The Matrix, Retro Anime
Fan art · Illustration series · 2023
The Matrix, reimagined as a late-80s Tokyo anime: retro cel style, neon-drenched streets and frames between Ghost in the Shell and Akira.
What if The Matrix was conceived in a Tokyo animation studio in 1988? This series reimagines the visual language of the Wachowskis’ universe through the lens of late-80s anime — retro cel aesthetics, neon-drenched environments, and character frames that sit somewhere between Ghost in the Shell and Akira.
