I think this debuted on Liquid television. What I do know is having seen almost every episode and that in at least half of them the protagonist (the most anorexic heroine so far: Aeon Flux) died. Don't watch this unless you are really curious. I've seen Peter Chung's Alexander, Aeon Flux, and Phantom 2040. The less bad is Phantom 2040. It was hard to keep up with such a nonsensical series like this one, but Peter's style is very recognisable. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone except maybe for those with a fetish with ultra skinny women with almost no clothes on them.

You'll have to bear with me, it's been a long time since I've watched this series, and I was rather young when I did. Unfortunately for me, this series was not meant for children. Anyway, I can recall a few specific things:
It was something about two cities, at war with each other I believe, and a female main character who was caught in the middle. I remember an incredibly corny villain who did something sinister, laughed evilly, then promptly folded his legs and fired rockets from them to escape into the air. I remember laughing, because even then, I wasn't too young to recognize something cheesy. It's possible that my lack of memory has me combining different characters, but if so, I probably laughed at them all, anyway.

I also recall a climactic scene in which either the main character or some acquaintance of hers...I don't think I knew the difference anyway...had her legs severed above the knees by an energy field, but instead of bleeding wounds, guts, or even a well-aimed camera angle, you could clearly see her thighs ending in solid red circles. Perhaps she was actually a minion of personified red licorice. I wouldn't put it past the show's writers.

I used to watch this show at a friend's house, and we thought we were being rebels by turning it on. Now, I see stills of the characters' faces, and I am reminded of how I didn't really understand or enjoy the show, and why I looked forward to watching Max (I believe that was the name, anyway), an animation about some guy who turned into a hulking monster, which came on after Aeon Flux was over. Nowadays, of course, nobody seems to recall either of the two. Perhaps it's better that way.

Oh, and the half-star in my rating is kind of a glimmer of hope, that maybe there was some depth to Aeon Flux that I simply missed as a result of my being about twelve years old at the time. But I don't plan on watching it again to find out.

(Post-edit: I've lowered my critique to one star. This is because I just gave Titan A.E. one and a half. If you had to choose between the two, for your own sake, PLEASE watch Titan A.E. before you watch Aeon Flux.)

Aeon Flux were videos I would sometimes put on in the store late at night when only Goths and freaks and other adults would come in, and I didn't have to worry about offending anyone. I didn't get interrupted much, so I managed to half-watch it quite a lot. This should be considered, since I'm certainly not conversent anough with the show to give it a really proper review. OTOH nobody else seems to be conversent enough to give it a review at all.

Frankly, I thought Aeon Flux was an annoying, immature series in which a woman would float about looking menacing for no particular reason, and which contained just enough other gobledegook for teenage boys to claim it wasn't just about watching the girl float about. I could have taken it home for nothing, and I never bothered.

My rating should be probably therefore be taken with a grain of salt, but as soon as I switched it on I was reminded of the 'Heavy Metal' movie of the 80's, which I definately did watch all the way through, and which I thought was utter garbage.

Thinking about 'Aeon Flux' caused me to realise something: there are very few animated features or series out there which are genuinely aimed at an adult sensibility.

Furthermore, whereas movies aimed at children often contain satisfyingly adult concepts or humour which operate at a 'higher level', films aimed at teenagers often seemed to be mired in the puerile, with little real sophistication or nuance other than the odd bit of overly dense plotting, and are often sadly lackin in character development.

There seems almost to be some sort of inverse principle at work: the more 'adult' something tries to be, the less mature it winds up being. Of course there are many honourable exceptions to this rule, but they seem to be in a minority.
