(Having watched this for solely ep 9-10) Arise continues to be more of the same strung together bs and ultimately went full 'all according to keikaku' in exactly the way of dumb antagonists successfully failing their way to success as I expected. This franchise's adaptations are dumb. Pretentiously dumb. The final two episodes were entirely macguffin filler to bridge towards the next movie with the macguffin all ready to do the thing presumably all according to Keikaku. The sub translations seem to be of low quality. I genuinely have nothing to say about this dumb action movie... The cyberspace haxing fight visualizations were goofy filler 90s cringe I guess. Itcontinues to astound me how everyone is utterly shocked that adding hackable augmentations to their bodies in fact makes them security risks as they continually put so much effort into making themselves more vulnerable by spending even more money and effort on more technology rather than just remain normal humans for free and not constantly worry about being hacked. Majordysfunction has gotten hacked practically every single movie yet everyone still acts oblivious and surprised and they waste dialogue on how officially putting in fake memories is impossible when it's being done constantly in this series and an established inevitability everyone already knows yet ignores for no reason, jesus I can't believe the meh Cyberpunk anime actually handles this stuff better.

3/10 (where 5/10 is average)
