Review of The Maxx

The Maxx (1995)
the most comprehensive and intelligent animated series ever made
25 February 2005
Warning: Spoilers
From beginning to end this series is deep and involving.. every line spoken can be taken in two ways and have two possible meanings just as the city and outback each have their dual constituents.. if you've ever been interested in shamanism, the astral plain, or are even remotely interested in the human psyche then this you'd find interesting. Of all of MTV's former "Oddities" line-up(Aeon Flux, The Head,The Maxx, Liquid Television) this stands alone as unique and one of a kind. there are no similar or rip-off versions of this series. there are only 13 episodes which all come from the comic and are nearly identical in artwork and dialogue. Don't let anyone spoil the final 3 episodes or tell you they don't make sense.. if you understand the premise of the astral plain being the contents of the human mind you will see that this an absolute masterpiece.. though not for everyone as it could be offensive to religious types. I've watched the series from beginning to end in one sitting at least 15 times, and i suggest you do the same.

10 out of 10 Da Vinci himself could not improve upon this phenomenal story
