However, it is a fun sci fi adventure with some interesting characters and technology, and the animation is quite good. Also, there are lots of women in non-demeaning roles and the main character is a girl as well.
As usual with anime sci fi don't try to look at the 'science' aspect of it too hard, but if I were to hold that against it I would never be able to watch a sci fi anime. (there's never been one that was based on anything close to reality).
I binge watched this on a saturday afternoon when I was stuck in bed with back pain, and I suspect this is the ideal kind of situation for watching these 12 episode netflix anime. They're like very long movies rather than actual series. As such, characterization is what they can fit into 12 eps, plot is what they can fit into 12 eps, etc.
Okay so, pros and cons:
Pros:
-Great animation
-Great music (so rare now)
-Interesting tech and biotec
-Lots of good female characters
Cons:
-Very weird male protagonist who is ultimately lacking in personality
-Story is a bit simple and by-the-numbers
-Some plot elements are never really explained
Conclusion:
A nice weekend binge watch if you really like sci fi with biotec, and aren't opposed to a story with a lot of female main characters.
