Aeon Flux Series Views
Christmas just came early for Aeon Flux fans. Aeon Flux: The Complete Animated Collection was released today, so if you just can't wait for the Charlize Theron movie Devcember 2, you can get your Flux fix while you wait. The series started as a series of shorts on MTV's Liquid Television, which always ended with Aeon Flux being killed. The later shorts, when she had her own series, were different. Both are included in the DVD set.
Aeon Flux is an avant garde American science fiction animated television series that aired on MTV. It premiered in 1991 on MTV's Liquid Television experimental animation show as a six-part serial of short films, followed in 1992 by five individual short episodes. In 1995 a season of ten half-hour episodes aired as a stand-alone series. Aeon Flux was created by Korean American animator Peter Chung (also the man behind Phantom 2040, which used the same animation style as Aeon Flux). A live action motion picture loosely based upon the series and starring Charlize Theron was released in late 2005.

Having first seen Aeon Flux as MTV shorts I was instantly captivated, breaking free from the constraints of the standard method of story telling, so much is left in the mysterious and unknown, with very imaginative and surreal atmosphere, in some cases one feels like they have just been dropped in the middle of a story with no real explanation of what is going on, its not needed it adds to effect. An interesting format that the heroine is killed off only to be reincarnated in the next short, almost like a video game in some contexts. This format was eventually abandoned and a more story like series followed, which might lead one to believe that the initial shorts might of been proof of concept or tests? These episodes are very similar in the same surreal atmosphere but with a little more story line and plot driven in to make them more durable.
