A truly outstanding piece of science fiction, successfully blending styles and genres along with previous film concepts and non-fiction elements into a hardboiled cyber-punk dystopia thriller that wows from episode one to 22.
Great Development of the main character, Akane, and the rest of the cast. Soundtrack is fantastic, with great themes and fantastic opening and closing themes (although wasn't a big fan of closing theme for second half). The action is great, features emotionally resonance in fair amounts, doesn't feel cliche, and the themes explored are dark and intriguing.
Overall, a fantastic show that really sinks your teeth into you.
