After now watching it, I can now also say the story is intriguing and engaging to recommend this show. It does start slow and meanders with filler episodes, but once the mystery becomes the main focus of the story, it shines.
Again, the animation is some of Madhouse studio's best. The character expressions are so detailed and immersive, it feels like a Studio Ghibli film sometimes. The visual style of the electronic world is flavorful not distracting. Any show with this level of animation will peak my interest.
The story is nothing miraculous, and the characters are just okay. But its enough to keep me watching to the end, and I was pleased to see the story really ramp up towards the end.
Check it out if you see it available, especially if you like anime with video game elements to the story.
