Genocyber

Although most viewers who have seen this anime, Genocyber, either degrade it as poor quality or average, I would personally say that this anime can be seen as a masterpiece. It tells of a story of a young girl who forcefully is manipulated by science and her life changes forever. She must face her own internal memories, as well as those who could plunge the world into destruction. Eventually, man is too greedy and in the end, the world is nearly destroyed because of his arrogance and his miscalculation of his own intellect, and that he brought Genocyber into the world. This humanoid would virtually vanquish everything because of the young girl's misunderstanding of the world's misfortune. The ending is quite confusing and the main characters' fates are ambiguous, and deems a mysterious atmosphere. Despite that, Genocyber is a great anime. Similar to many of the cyberpunk animes, they consider technology's hegemony as prominent and mankind as extremely dilapidated. Otherwise, this great work of art can be seen to be admired by the sci-fi loving audience. read more

Okay how can I put this, my first impression was aw my ending impression was blah! Does that pretty much sum it up for you? First of all, the story is similar to an H.P. Lovecraft story, so I was hoping for a really great anime. I guess if I had no expectations I might of, this is just a maybe, liked it in some way. They took a great idea for a plot and did nothing with it. There just wasn’t anything to it. The series is divided into different stories and only the last part I didn’t have to force myself watch. I guess because they brought in these two characters, Mel and Rin, for some reason I liked. To me they brought a little something special to this nothingness anime.

The character development was bad. I didn’t really feel anything for the characters except for Mel and Rin. Not even that they where all that great of characters, I just seemed to like them the most. Mel is a blind girl who has some type of psychic power and Rin is her boyfriend.

The animation was the best part of this anime. The designs for the Genocybers aka cyborg thingies and characters were pretty solid. The gruesome graphics was done well. Some of the action scenes was well choreographed and had a smoothness that I liked.

Should I say avoid this anime? Yes, even though I believe some might like Genocyber. After all there is gory action throughout the anime, but in the end this anime just leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
