3/5
Cyberpunk anime features violence, some clunky storytelling. Go to Full Review
Anthony Gramuglia CBR 05/02/2019
The plot and characters exist in service to these mechanics rather than the other way around. Fans of sci-fi with heavy world building might enjoy this; fans of character driven sci-fi, however, might not. Go to Full Review

Kristopher B 01/11/2025 As a person who found it after playing Ingress (Niantic game) for about a year it is one of my favorite series and not to mention the show that got me into Anime Personally a 5/5 series it isn't for everyone but it certainly is for me (sad there isn't a second season) See more 10/26/2019 I think it was very well done, there are some slightly messy plot points, but in my opinion, they do get fixed up later on in the story. worth for everyone to give it a go See more 07/04/2019 I think it may polarise Ingress players (but what's new, amiright?) it was a little disappointing it doesn't get deeper into the existing Ingress lore; the Shapers or N'Zeer aren't mentioned at all and there are some other issues that contradict aforementioned law. That being said it's still a bit of fun, the post-credit scene of the last episode drops a pretty pleasing dramabomb, even if the climax of the season is cheesy at best (hey,it's an anime, it was bound to be that way). Hopefully if they get a second season they will go more into the lore and maybe have more recognisable characters show up, and explore the origins of XM , the Shapers, etc. As far as a mystery/adventurey sleuth story, it had me interested in the characters and featured some great character development between the two leading males. It's full of tropes, but then, once again, it's an anime. It's good, I'd probably watch again, people who haven't played the game might find the parts where they shoehorn in trying to explain how it works a bit jarring. See more Read all reviews
