Review of Texhnolyze

I can honestly say, I cried at the end. A wretching, sniffling, snorting, tear-filled cry. There isn't much dialogue in it unlike quite a few anime, but it added to how beautiful it was. When there's no dialogue, you have to watch to make sure you know exactly what's going on. Usually, the music and the visual will communicate what's happening or what is about to happen. The soundtrack to this was outstanding! I downloaded the OST and I listen to it as often as I listen to my other favourite OST. They mixed Jazz, piano (some classical), electronic, one magnificent Dub song, and guitar (acoustic,classical). The sound wasn't particularly dark, but it wasn't too up beat either.

What I loved; while I was watching it, everything Ichise was going through, I FELT. I got attached to him and he sucked me in further into the story and his pain and even his apathetic stares.

If you've watched Ergo Proxy, you'll recognize these voices from the show: Onishi is by Patrick Seitz (who played Raul Creed in Ergo Proxy) and Toyama is by Liam O'Brien.

KEEP IN MIND: This is not an anime for everyone. This anime takes a while to speed up and get to more dialogue. It's very bloody, gory, and has quite a few sexual scenes (including homosexuality).

Overall, it's an outstanding anime.
