"Akudama Drive" is an excellent title, with its sole flaw being that it takes a while to truly "begin", while the title of 'one of the best of 2020' is definitely accurate. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

dogo f @pochita_ Feb 20 8.2/10. Akudama Drive looked really interesting. I love cyberpunk sci-fi anime. The visuals looked amazing from what I've seen, so I really wanted to watch this. I guess I mostly enjoyed it! The animation and lighting was stunning, and the pilot was VERY strong and hooked me. The characters weren't very well written but were still fairly.. cool I guess. Unfortunately it didn't get better. The action scenes were still good don't get me wrong but the second half is where it started to kinda get tiring and nearly hollow. There were some pretty good episodes still but it wasn't enough. By the end I did like it of course, the Blu-ray was pure eye candy, I loved the futuristic setting, but it felt like it lacked something... including in the finale, which could've been way better. And I'm usually not that picky on endings. The last scene was kinda beautiful but the rest of the finale had only one particular action scene I liked and was mostly a bit frustrating.
