Review of Texhnolyze

Texhnolyze starts with very slow pace and a very confusing way of presenting itself so I'd warn people to be prepared for that and to try and stick with it because the show does pick up eventually. The slow and confusing opening works out in a unique way because it gives the viewer a lot of time to really see the world from an immersive stand point and see what's going on in that world as it unfolds. Once the show picks up I think it manages to tell a pretty good story that unfolds in a memorable way. My biggest complaint is that the maincharacter feels very uninvolved, he feels like he has less lines than most side characters do. That's probably a stylistic choice, but I found it made it hard to understand him and his motives throughout the series. The final act is also a bit confusing with few clues as to what the details of it are, but there is enough explanation in the show that you should at least kind of understand what's happening and the specifics don't super matter anyways.

Overall it's a bit rough around the edges, it tells an intriguing story that unfolds nicely and has a number of really memorable moments. It's worth watching if you've got the patience for it.
