| Cool spoilers bro. Good that I didn't want to watch it either way. |
| Texhnolyze is not the sort of thing that interests me. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| Just rewatched this 2 weeks ago. It was better than i thought. Still nothing goated tho. Agree Ergo Proxy's better. |
| My problem with Texhnolyze is that I can not go past the opening. Just want to listen to this Juno Reactor musical piece again and again. When finally it lets me go the show pales in comparison. It's some edgy teen story isn't it? Don't even remember., just can't continue with it. So, there is such thing as "Opening too good for the sake of its own show.". |
| I dropped that anime because in the first episode literally nothing happens. They say like 1 line, and that's it, no dialogue, no nothing. I like slow paced shows, but this was standstill. Something that doesn't respect my time this much deserves to be dropped. |
| first time heard of it. thanks for the spoilers tho now i will never watch it. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| It was simply too boring in my opinion. |
 |
| I dropped it due to just finding it a bit pointlessly grim. |
| I didn’t really like that blonde scientist lady (I think she could have been written a lot better). And yeah, there were probably a few too many scenes with Ichise wandering aimlessly at the beginning. But otherwise, I loved Texhnolyze. Along with it being very existentialist, I think it’s a great political thriller as well. Oonishi came very close to making my favourites. |
 |
| The only thing I'm disappointed by is that I've forgotten almost all about it. On the other hand that may be positive, might rewatch one day I guess. |
| I saw that anime in 2004, 19 years ago.. How do you even remember something from that long ago? |
 |
| not enough hot girls but the anime was alright |
    |
| I wanted cyberpunk, not gang wars. it was incredibly uninteresting until the final arc, which was great. |

| It's a really good show IMO Some characters are bland and the story is kinda slow, but everything to the payoff was worth it. |
 |
| I liked the show, I wasn't disappointed by it and watched it in two or three days. I just thought I would like it more than I did. |
| I've not tried it yet, so I will avoid reading OP post in case of spoilers (someone mentioned there were spoliers). It is on my list, it just I'm currently in the middle of other shows so hopefully I can get to it at some point. I liked Ergo Proxy, Wolfs Rain and other atmospheric and serious shows so I probably would enjoy it. So long as it not tediously boring like Witch Hunter Robin. |
Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl. Gilgamesh is also chad.   |
| My only disappointment is the slow pacing and being focused too much on the atmosphere in the beginning. Otherwise, shit gets wild starting the second half. |

Quanda1eDing1e said: bro forgets deep theme and unique narrative also are considered entertainment factor, not necessarily does it have to be action hype or melodrama.it's the type of anime that elitists use to beat themselves off about how mature and intelligent they are for being able to stomach a snooze fest. Sure it has it's deep themes and unique way of story telling, but these "enthusiasts" forget that entertainment is a major factor when it comes to a show being good |
|
| Texhnolyze started to get worse for me when I wouldn't say it got necessarily bad, but I thought it went from like a 8/10 to 7/10, which means it's still a good series. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
| The writing quality is awful, story makes no sense and is boring especially the horrible ending, lots of nihilism and edge. It feels like it was written by 12 year old emo edgelord who is going through puberty while high on weed. |

| @Helltaker That is only to be expected from Konaka. |

| I actually didn't like Texhnolyze up till the middle. It was very different from what I imagined it to be based on the synopsis, and generally, I wasn't vibing with it. Somewhere midway through, however, my opinion started changing. Lo and behold, it's one of my favourite animes of all time now. One of those rare times I'm grateful for my OCD not allowing me to drop animes, haha. |

| @CaptainKenshiro I liked it a lot but maybe because I took a longer time t finish the series. The atmosphere growth is kinda slow. |
|
| Boring. Simple as that. The show is too boring. |
| It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person. |
| In retrospective (I watched Texhnolyze a long time ago with subs in a language I was still studying), I thought the oppressive atmosphere of the series was perfect though it did make it difficult to watch. The minimum dialogue and the extremely dragged out scenes also could feel a tad too monotonous. I think the themes it was supposed to convey were pretty evident, sometimes being way too edgy in order to present the nihilistic nature of the setting. Definitely not my favorite anime but I'm glad that it was made and how different it is from other anime series. |

| I completed it, but depressing endings really aren't my thing, so I'm not really a fan of it. |

| I love it, but it definitely doesn't have a very broad appeal. It's got more in common with filmmakers like Bela Tarr and to a lesser extent Andrei Tarkovsky than most anime so if you don't have the patience for slow, meditative material I wouldn't recommend it. |
Take care of yourself |
| Texhnolyze isn't my type of anime, sorry. |
| This anime has some of the best directing you'll find in the medium. I personally love it, though I can see why some would be put off by it as it isn't exactly an easy watch (admittedly slow at times). And no, Ergo Proxy isn't better than Texhnolyze imo. |
 |
| If only the pacing of the first half was decent it couldve been better than what it was!!! They couldve shorten this to 12-13 episodes!!! |

Quanda1eDing1e said: uh huh but can you prove your argument ?never said they weren't, but texhnolyze just didn't deliver those in a meaningful way. Your edgy anime ain't all that, sorry to say lol. |

| @TRC_Randy I respectfully disagree. Ergo Proxy to me was all style, no substance. Texhnolyze had a clear point, and was way more effective to deliver it, without using fancy quotes just for the sake of it. It was coherent, from beginning to end, and left me a real punch in the stomach, just by staying simple. I don't agree with its message, but I do admire how it was presented. |

@SleepingAyumu You remind me of my Cousin who always has to watch whatever he watches till the very end. He was like that since a young kid so when we watched movies (even if they suck) he had to watch them all the way through.
| @Jackof-allspades Yeahhh it's a very annoying thing to have most of the time. But it pays off from time to time. |
