Although not perfect, I wish more anime like this still released today. The story is a slow burner, the animation is mediocre, and it's confusing as hell. But the writing, character designs, art, music, and atmosphere are pure bliss. What makes it so especially great, though, is how all of its negative aspects have a purpose. Texhnolyze is all about the often mundane, gritty life of us people on Earth experience and it uses its stylistic approach to support that theme. I found myself on my phone a lot while watching—especially in he first half— and only looking up only at the exciting parts, and I think that was probably intentional. No spoilers, but those who stick around through the mundanity of the show get to experience a 4D show. It's so meta that it hurts, and yes the show preaches nearly non-stop. What makes it great is that it lets YOU have free rein to interpret its messages. Think Serial Experiments Lain and the game Nier Replicant combined. I pray we get more anime like this that are not overly concerned with "looking pretty" and overly appealing to non-anime fans. Texhnolyze is ugly, violent, boring, and AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Other notes:
- Opening is an absolute banger
- Voice acting is great
- Character design is perfection
- EPISODE 19 IS ONE OF THE BEST EPISODES OF ANIME, especially 9:00
