![]() ![]() Highly recommended for anyone looking for a contemplative, challenging series. I don't give out 10s easily but if that doesn't earn one I don't know what does. It's almost as if the story was told from the point of view of the mysterious city itself.īetween the realistic pacing, heady plot, and gorgeous settings, Texhnolyze was one of those rare anime that, for me, made everything else seem not quite as good. The realistic presentation and attention to detail add to this sensation. Texhnolyze isn't telling you how to feel about what's happening, just presenting what happens and letting you make the call. Right from the getgo the perspective seems grimly neutral. The cast of Texhnolyze is one of the more believably human ensembles I've ever seen in an anime, and it's difficult not to become attached to them.Īnother point I'd like to bring up is the weird disconnect it establishes between the events that happen on screen and the viewer. The characters are soft spoken but oddly compelling, especially in the case of Ichise. The world of Lux springs to life with many lush, yet dark and gloomy settings. The art is beautiful and highly atmospheric. you probably won't be able to take it all in with one viewing. The plot itself is highly complex, and as with Lain, Texhnolyze's spiritual predecessor, ![]() This slow and steady treatment of the story is more realistic and true-to-life for me, and while it might not be as instantly gratifying as some other series it's truly enveloping and convincing. However rather than bore me, I personally found the pace to be a breath of fresh air. ![]() The pace is slow and punishing, and if your main squeeze is the straightforward action side of anime you will probably hate this. Okay, I'm going to repeat what many others have said and state that Texhnolyze is NOT a series for everyone. While Lux steadily plunges into insanity, both Ichise and Ran find themselves involved in the greatest crisis the city has ever faced. In the midst of the chaos, new actors emerge: Ichise, an ex-boxer mutilated by Organo and recently texhnolyzed by Eriko "Doc" Kamata and Ran, a young florist who can see the future. The fragile balance of powers in Lux is disturbed when a mysterious visitor named Kazuho Yoshii begins committing a series of crimes that puts the gangs at each other's throats. This elusive organization, also in charge of the raffia production, delegates its executive authority to a group called Organo led by Keigo Oonishi-a self-righteous man with texhnolyzed legs who is rumored to hear the "voice of the city." The latter have the particularity not to trigger an immune response in their hosts and the "Class" has the privilege to conduct research on them. ![]() Almost secluded from the surface, the gangs' only interaction with the outer world is their mining operation of "raffia," which is the raison d'être of the city.Īvailable only in Lux, this rare substance is the basis of "texhnolyze" transplants that permit humans to replace parts of their body with cybernetic prostheses.
