the story:
the plot of this anime doesn't begin to unfold until the very end of the anime. most of the episodes include missions unrelated to the bigger plot, and that is my biggest problem with the anime.
art:
the art used in this anime is very intricate, yet familiar for the viewer, since the story is set in a time period not distant from today, we get a feeling of what the future potentially will look like.
sound:
love the sound of exploding gun powder. also, the background soundtrack fits perfectly with the anime.
characters:
the character design for this anime is simply genius; each and
...
every character is unique in their own way. i've never seen a character as original as spike spiegel, or edward ( the computer genius; and shes a girl ). it makes the story much more interesting.
enjoyment:
this is one of the more meaningful animes that i have seen. it leaves the viewer to not only think about the plot, but just life in general.
" i felt like i was watching a dream i could never wake up from. before i knew it, the dream was over." - spike spiegel
overall:
the main reason why i give it a 9 overall is that the episodes involving the unrelated missions don't exactly correspond to the main plot; all those episodes could be taken out and the viewer would still be able to understand what was going on. however, this anime has had a good deal of impact on the way i watch animes. this anime portrays a great deal of symbolism, in which the viewer is also left to ponder and translate the puzzling philosophies of spike spiegel.
