Review of Texhnolyze
Another hidden gem of cyberpunk anime How can I explain what Texhnolyze made me felt when I watched it? Scared and mindfucked but something about the show was deeper the more I got into it than just reacting to what I saw on the surface of it. And that was philosophical messages, the psychological theme about it, and how depressing it may seem but I found it interesting more than anything. This show and I am proudly to say NOT FOR EVERYONE. To be able to get into this show I definitely recommend watching Neon Genesis Evangelion, Serial Experiments Lain or Ergo Proxy before watching this becausethose shows will help you get a feel for something dark and methodical as this. But back to Texhnolyze, it's gritty, dark, no funny moments at all, twisted and sad but texhnolyze really brings what Cyberpunk is all about and that's low-life, advanced tech, and radical changes in social order. To the previous shows I mentioned before I love them all equally but this show probably was the deepest I felt. In the city of Lux, it is a shitty town nonetheless but there is something beautiful about it because of it's characters that unravel the story before you.
I give this a 9/10 because it has become one of my favorites. Story was great, character wise most of them are a bit off putting at first or a while then they got better lol, pretty good art style, sound was great and after finishing it I enjoyed everything about it.
