It all started when my friend suggested that i watch it...and 8 months ago i got it with some other stuff but i didn't find the time to watch it (and watched a lot of other stuff). I must say that i honestly regret not watching this series immediately and leaving it for a whole 8 months.
The story starts out following a girl living in a futuristic city with robotic help (AutoReivs) and some other postapocalyptic features such as humanity nearly wiped out and the remnants living in a domed city. The 1st episode brings you into a world of intrigue and mystery concerning a strange city which seems to be a paradise of sort...but the paradise doesn't last with a strange beast loose and a virus roaming about. Though the beginning wasn't as brilliant as the rest, and maybe even boring to some we judge the story as both the exposition and the plot progression.

The art was near perfect with each character having individual traits and being pretty well-drawn, near the end of the series i started noticing some mistakes in the animation itself - so the score isn't perfect.

What actually moves this series away from the majority of what we have had in the past years is the sound. Instead of j-rock\j-pop we have some different rock both in the opening and in the ending. Apart from those, we have a good score, which also seems to be very fitting to the series.

As to not give any spoilers it will be hard to give a detailed review on the characters, but i can say that apart from the characters being very individual - they all seem to have a very special role in the meaning that the series gives out. Not only is every character unique, but they also have the traits that are required to give the series the deep thoughtful feeling it gives.

I really enjoyed watching this series not only because of the rare but noticeable and bright action scenes but also for the philosophical part that is given closer to the end - concerning the meaning of life and other aspects related to humans themselves.

Overall: i recommend this series to those who look for something with good action scenes AND some meaning to all the actions that take place. The ending added even more to the enjoyment - it was worth it.
