Armitage III
(1995)

OVA > PolyMatrix
One of my favourite, so my opinion might be slightly bias.

I originally hired out the OVA episodes from the video store, and loved it since then, and when the re-release with the OVA episodes cut into make the movie PolyMatrix, i went out and got it, only to be horridly disappointed when Ross Sylibus's voice was replaced with Keith Sutherland.

I don't know if it was keith doing a bad job, or what, but in the PolyMatrix version, he just felt like a robot, reading lines straight from the script with no feeling in his words.

So I quickly returned PolyMatrix, and went on a witch hunt till i found the OVA episodes all on DVD :D (THANKFULLY, MADMAN Entertainment, that dubbed DualMatrix, didn't use keith.)

Armitage III: Poly-Matrix
(1996)

PolyMatrix < OVA Episodes
Short n Sweet.

I've seen both, watch the OVA series back when my video store had them on tape, recently saw the re-release in the cut to crap movie version PolyMatrix.

I don't mind anime being converted to subs and dubs and whatever, its just when they decide to either do a cheap job on it OR more importantly, decide they need to edit the show and dumb it down!

As someone else mentioned, character holes make them shallow and don't let you get to know them in the short time. Kiefer Sutherland does a crap job playing Ross Sylibus as he comes across as if hes just reading lines from a script instead of conveying emotion into his words, which just makes it worse to get to know the character.

I was so disappointed with PolyMatrix, I returned the DVD, and went on a witch hunt till i found the OVA episodes on DVD.

I'm so glad they didn't use kiefer in Dual Matrix.
