Texhnolyze

[Odin's Child]

Has anyone here seen this anime? I heard it was really good, and it's been recommended to me, and I'm a big fan of cyberpunk in general, so I have a feeling I'll like it.

I was just wondering if anyone else has even heard of it, or seen it and could give me a bit of input on it?

I've never heard of this before. What's it about? Is it any good?

 

[Odin's Child]

Thats exactly what I wanted to know

I wanted to know if anyone has seen it can explain what it's about, and if it's any good.

I saw it last year after my friend recommended it to me.
I grabbed this synopsis from Anime News Network.

Plot Summary: In a man-made underground society, descendants of a banished generation vie for control of the crumbling city of Lux. Ichise, an orphan turned prize fighter, loses a leg and an arm to satisfy an enraged fight promoter. On the brink of death he is taken in by a young woman doctor and used as a guinea pig for the next evolution of Texhnolyze. With his new limbs, Ichise is taken under the wing of Oonishi, a powerful leader of Organ, an organization with some hold on Lux. As Ichise is drawn deeper into a war for territorial control of the city, he learns of his possible future from the young girl prophet Ran, who guides him from the shadows in his darkest times. With the explosion of the warfare, Ichise must uncover the truth about Lux and fight for his survival as he realizes his destiny.

I barely remember it. TBH, I didnt really care for it. The first few episodes were good but it quickly got muddled down with a lot of science and politics. This is not what I was expecting. I was expecting a lot of action. But I will say that it is interesting if you pay attention and give it time. The end was satisfying at least.

On the other hand, my friend did not feel it was boring at all and he really really liked it. He's like the more weird dystopian cyberpunk stuff so he's probably more like you.

I would say at least give it a try. I wouldn't buy it without testing it first though cause it may be disappointing.

Technolyze is a pretty good cyber-punk anime. I admit it is abit slow in the beginning but by episode 5 the pace starts to pick up and it gets better. It's been a few months since I saw it last so I can't tell you all of the characters names. But I can honestly say you should check it out at least once. The music is good and the animation is as good as Wolf's Rain.
