Altered Carbon: Resleeved is an anime that you can dive into without seeing the live action drama series of Netflix. It is a pretty well made cyberpunk anime with tons and tons of action sequences (all of which are well made), a lot of blood, just a little bit of nudity in the beginning (that too of background characters), and a good pick for a nice time-pass. Right from the beginning you can see some clear influence of Blade Runner or Ghost in the Shell's environment. Now I know the cyberpunk as a genre has some predefined setting for a world, but not necessarily all ofthem has to follow the same visuals. For example, the Deus Ex game franchise is one of the best known entries in the cyberpunk world, and its visuals have very little common element with the well known Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell franchises. For some reason, whenever we see a new cyberpunk story, the world seems to be eerily familiar with the later two. The upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 game also has that issue. Now this is not a bad thing, but it would've been better if different cyberpunk stories have unique world setting of their own.
Ok, back to the point. Without mentioning the name of this anime, one look at the world portrayed in it and you might think it is from Blade Runner or Ghost in the Shell. Even the music played during some parts sounds a lot like Kenji Kawai's soundtracks for GitS. If it works for you, it's good. If not, then it won't be a problem since its not exactly a strong suit of this anime.

The characters can be divided into two types: mains who rarely get hurt, and fill-up side characters who are there to die. No it's not a spoiler, I'm not saying everyone of the main characters survives till the end. It's just that you probably even forget the faces of the side characters once they are dead. As for the main ones, there is not much character development to be found here. Actually now that I think about it, no character gets a development except for one (or if you really look into it, two may be).

The story is not its strong point either. There are a few twists which made the story to be "ok". However, the strong part of this anime is its amazing animation and some freaking good action sequences. This is CGI done right. With breathtaking visuals and good direction of actions scenes (which takes a big part of the anime, but not enough to make it irritating), this anime is a treat for the eye.

Take this as just a time-pass anime with enjoyable elements, and not much brain-works needed while watching it. I would love to see more similar series or movie of this franchise in the future.
