*The first paragraph is about the game in which inspired this anime and how it relates to the original game so skip to the second paragraph if you want*
As a fairly long time player of Ingress (The game that came out in 2013 and that i started playing in 2016) I have got to say that most people who haven't played the game won't get everything straight away or be able to understand some game terminology but it explains it in a fairly simple way. I liked the way they used sounds from the actual game as well as footage from the re-booted version of

the game. The ending theme shows real life pictures which sums up the game's social aspect. It was basically like a hype thing for a in game event that aired in Japan before the event and *SPOILERS FOR THE END* basically summed up the event for everyone else in the last episode (I actually had a break for a few months as many players do and missed the event sadly). The funny thing about the anime and the game is that they advertise each other- the game and game's website advertise the anime and the anime advertises the game.
The story has some aspects relating to the game but other than that is is basically just a mediocre at best cop and sci-fi anime. It had the standard netflix 3D anime style. It had a pretty predictable plot and cliche scenes. It was ok but could have been better by making it easier to understand for non players or just targeting players and not both. To sum it up in a sentence- Kinda relating to the game but mainly an advertisement for the game.
