Full List of All Currently Aggregated Anime Konakana "These are just some basic things I believe Texhnolyze is trying to say, which is why I hail it as one of the best series I've seen. The series operates on some of the most basic philosophical questions including man's pursuit of a higher state of being, meaning in life and the limits of human evolution and I believe it be true study of humanity as a whole. To me, it is probably the most grounded anime I've seen, literally presenting the two choices life holds, either kill yourself or live until you die, but then the series focuses on how to deal with this fact. It is about retaining the will to live, I've went over that, but it's also so much more at the same time. Life may have no inherent meaning. Life may hold inherent meaning because you decide it does. It doesn't matter though because death awaits and you lose everything." Score: 90 ✓Yuni "Texhnolyze is infamous for being pessimistic and nihilistic, with the overall message being that life has no meaning. In fact, the inclusion of all these unnecessary developments, expository dialogue, and long shots of nothing could just be a fancy way of saying “these scenes are meaningless, just like life itself.” These scenes don’t harm the overall message of the show, they are simply negative aspects of the viewing experience, which unfortunately plays a major role in how one perceives these themes. However, despite this extremely depressing message, someone once told me that Texhnolyze’s message is actually ultimately positive, and I have to agree. Texhnolyze is actually optimism disguised as hardcore nihilism and pessimism. While Texhnolyze preaches that human development and life itself is meaningless and that there is always room for death and destruction, it also tells us that death and destruction are meaningless and that there is always room for life, hope, and existence. As for whether or not this is pretentious overthinking is up to the viewer, but as I said before, overthinking is something Texhnolyze naturally creates, and that is why despite its disappointments and flaws, Texhnolyze is ultimately satisfying." Score: 70 ✓Nervin "Overall Texhnolyze was a fantastic show, but it was downright depressing. Was it enjoyable, as in, was it fun? No, in no way. The very slow pacing, the unknowing beginning and the disheartening themes it presented, left me with a bad feeling after watching it. The characters weren't that great either, yet the different approach and on how subjects were relaid to the viewer, was what really makes this a fantastic anime. I must admit, it was the first anime in a long time that I was able to watch in a very short amount of time." Score: 90 ✓TheBrainintheJar "Texhnolyze is actually my type of anime. I love cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic stories, the theme of technology and progress and weird narratives. I'm a pessimist, so I'm all for dealing with life's harshest realities. Texhnolyze was boring because it wasn't challenging or weird or exciting enough. If Texhnolyze was truly bizarre, I would've forgiven its flaws. Instead, I just felt like I've seen it all before." Score: 30 XAbdEl-Kader "The anime is dark and bloody, with a focus on music, inspiration and a lot of scenes. Revolves around a number of different personalities whose lives and destinies intersect in an atmosphere of guerrilla warfare, betrayal, power struggles and who will rule the lousy city of Lux until a common enemy comes to destroy everything." Score: 100 XBlackDahlia94 "Texhnolyze is an experience. The meaning of this series is derived from the character's struggles and the ability, as the viewer, to experience their inner turmoil and search for purpose along with them. It delves deep into the core of the viewer and prompts the question: what is humanity? This work is riddled with symbolism and motifs and can be labeled as "artsy" by many and as such, can be quite off-putting to some " Score: 100 X
