Dimension W

In the near future, humans have discovered a fourth dimension, Dimension W, and a supposedly infinite source of energy within. In order to harness this profound new energy, mankind develops advanced "coils," devices that link to and use the power of Dimension W. However, by year 2071, the New Tesla Energy corporation has monopolized the energy industry with coils, soon leading to the illegal distribution of unofficial coils that begin flooding the markets.

Kyouma Mabuchi is an ex-soldier who is wary of all coil-based technology to the extent that he still drives a gas-powered car. Kyouma is a "Collector," individuals with the sole duty of hunting down illegal coils in exchange for money. What started out as just any other mission is turned on its head when he bumps in Mira Yurizaki, an android with a connection to the "father" of coils. When a series of strange events begin to take place, these two unlikely allies band together to uncover the mysteries of Dimension W.

Dimension W is an anime that stands out as a hidden gem within the vast landscape of the genre. Underrated and often overlooked, it offers a refreshing blend of science fiction, action, and mystery that captivates viewers from the very beginning. With its intriguing concept and well-executed storyline, it deserves recognition for its unique take on the futuristic world it presents.

Set in a not-too-distant future, Dimension W revolves around the existence of "coils," devices capable of harnessing unlimited energy from a parallel dimension called "Dimension W." However, as humanity grows dependent on these coils, a darker side of this newfound power emerges. The story follows ... Kyoma Mabuchi, a skilled bounty hunter with a deep mistrust for coils, as he gets entangled in a conspiracy that threatens the delicate balance between dimensions.

One of the anime's greatest strengths lies in its world-building. It presents a visually stunning and meticulously crafted universe that effortlessly blends the familiar with the extraordinary. The animation is consistently polished, showcasing vibrant landscapes, detailed character designs, and fluid action sequences. The artistic direction is complemented by a fitting soundtrack that enhances the atmosphere and adds depth to the overall viewing experience.

The characters are well-rounded and memorable. Kyoma Mabuchi, the stoic and determined protagonist, undergoes substantial growth throughout the series as he confronts his own past and unravels the mysteries surrounding the coils. The introduction of Mira Yurizaki, an android with human-like emotions, brings a layer of complexity to the narrative, as she becomes an unexpected ally to Kyoma. The interactions and dynamics between the characters are engaging and contribute to the overall sense of intrigue.

While the plot may seem complex at times, it maintains a steady pace and keeps viewers on their toes with its intriguing plot twists and revelations. The anime skillfully balances action-packed sequences with quieter, more contemplative moments, allowing for character development and exploration of deeper themes.

Furthermore, it delves into thought-provoking ideas such as the ethical implications of technological advancements, the consequences of unchecked human ambition, and the nature of humanity itself. These themes are subtly woven into the narrative, making viewers reflect on their own relationship with technology and the potential ramifications of its misuse.

However, Dimension W is not without its flaws. Some viewers may find certain plot points or character arcs to be underdeveloped or rushed, leaving room for additional exploration. Additionally, the series concludes with a sense of open-endedness, leaving several questions unanswered. While this may be frustrating for some, it also invites speculation and allows for personal interpretation.

Mixed Feelings

History: The story is predictable, knowing that anime made for teenagers almost never die

Art: Art is a strong point, and is suitable for any genre

Characters: The characters had their personalities, even if they were all clichés for the situation, they served their purpose

You'll like it because it has interesting scenes and involves pasts and redemptions.

It's an anime that you might love or hate. If you find yourself in the middle, it's because something wasn't captured by you while watching. Dimension W brings a very good idea, another Dimension? Look how brilliant this sounds to us viewers, however, it falls into the same archaic shounen anime ...

(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)

When I was a kid, I would play video games so much that I had to constantly beg my parents to keep a reserve of batteries in the house. We actually stashed them in the refrigerator, believing that having them at a colder temperature would somehow make them last longer.

Whether or not that’s true, though, I cannot say. What I can say is that Dimension W needed to replace its own batteries at some point but never got the memo.

Dimension W follows Kyouma, a man with a deep resentment for Coils. Coils are a newfound ...
