Synopsis

Besides his extreme phobia of electronic devices, Akira Natsume lives his life as a completely ordinary teenager. In contrast, his brother Shuuichi is a university student who excels in many aspects of life. Wanting to follow in Shuuichi's footsteps, Akira becomes determined to better himself. But before he can accomplish this goal, he is hit by a truck while attempting to rescue a girl from delinquents.

After regaining consciousness, Akira is astonished to find himself inside a machine; furthermore, 16 years have passed since the truck accident. Amid Akira's confusion, police officer Minami Uezono explains that Akira's brain resides inside an EX-ARM—a highly advanced weapon capable of causing immense destruction. Accompanied by an android named Alma, Minami is currently aboard an enemy smuggler ship to complete a crucial mission: retrieve Akira's EX-ARM.

Despite initially being bewildered, Akira quickly learns to utilize the vast power of his EX-ARM and eventually meets the head of the EX-ARM Countermeasure Division, a police department that prevents crimes caused by the machines. Subsequently, Akira takes on the task of eradicating these heinous crimes—which may lead him to discover the reason behind his present state.

The story is pretty simple and easy to keep up with as it mainly follows the 3 main characters (Akira, Minami and Alma) through a continuous well-paced story which without a doubt, made it a lot more enjoyable. It does have a substantial quantity of ecchi/fanservice which could make it a difficult task for people to want to get ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (7/98 eps)
I'm quite surprised that there isn't anyone on here reviewing Ex-arm the manga because my god, everyone's been talking about its god awful anime non stop! So I decided to read the manga because again,everyone's been talking about it such as Trash Taste, Moist Critical and many other Youtubers. The art is a lot better like the faces, the visuals and the actions scenes were pretty decent. I think the artist Shinya KOMI does deserve recognition for his work on the series like I really wish he could've involved more on the anime. I'm honestly shocked that they weren't asked!

However I really didn't get ...
