Review of Texhnolyze

Texhnolyze is one of many anime that have some good ideas, but bad execution ruins everything. Both protagonist and antagonist are empty characters that either don't say anything meaningful at all or say something pretentious. Their stories don't add anything to empathize with them or to unfold their internal life philosophy better. Another problem is that anime is very slow paced, and not in Tarkovsky's way. There's absolutely no reason for it to be that slow. Slow scenes don't add any depth or immersive emotional experience. The anime can easily be compressed to about eight series. I'm sorry to say that, but Texhnolyze is just another pseudo-elitist animehyped by its fans that don't have much experience in philosophy and cinematography.

However, I enjoyed a few things: power struggle and setting. And because failed attempt is better than no attempt I think it's worthy of 7/10.
