Title: Texhnolyze

Genre: Sci-fi

Creator/Studio: Yoshitoshi ABe/Rondo Rose

Company: Geneon

DVD Info: 18 episodes, 6 volumes

Summary: Ichise is a street fighter given mechanical limbs to replace ones he's lost in a fight. However, the new limbs will not cooperate. With the Mafia running his fights, he'd better learn what's going on fast!

The Good: The first volume alone is an exercise in cinematics--it's mostly quiet! It's very beautiful throughout.

The Bad: Keep a Kleenex box handy if you're that type. It's also very slow.

Offensive Material: Lots of blood and graphic violence.

Overall: Very powerful drama from someone who seems to know what he's doing. I highly recommend it.

My Review: 3.0 (Out of 4)

Category: C (Caution. Not for those under 12)

Note: Yoshitoshi ABe also created Serial Experiments Lain and Haibane Renmei.
