After watching Lain last week and finding it Meh, this week I watched 'Texhnolyze'... And also found it pretty Meh. Especially the beginning was super exhausting because it could have been explained in 5 minutes (or 1 episode max), but is dragged out to like 3 episodes. And barely anyone talks in these episodes. The upside of those episodes is that you get to watch an r-slur suffer I guess?
Anyway, the middle part is better, but still not super interesting. Made the impression of a more or less generic mafia movie to me. I usually enjoy stuff like that, so that part was okay to watch. But the anime really only gets interesting towards the end, when they resolve some story stuff. There still is some stuff that made no sense to me, for example
This might sound pretty negative, but I didnt hate the show. I dont know if I would recommend it to someone, but if you plan on watching it you should know that it gets better after the first couple episodes, and the last few episodes are the best part of the anime.
After texhnolyze I also watched the first 'Ghost In The Shell' movie, I liked it and will probably keep watching. I also think about watching 'Ergo Proxy', any thoughts about that are appreciated.

I watched the cyberpunk anime because of all the hub-bub about the "Loli" designed character and I honsetly found it pretty good albeit a little rushed in the progression of the story. It's obvious that they want to make you care about the strife the characters go through but it kinda feels like a dogpile of misery at some point. I haven't watched the last 2 episodes yet but I suspect it'll be a bittersweet ending with the main guy going cyber psycho because of his mods and some how it deus ex machinas in the main girl going to the moon finally.

I don’t watch anime since I’m not a NEET but I pirated this and couldn’t get through the first episode because the voice acting was so terrible and had no sense of pacing so it came across as jarring and confusing. What’s the deal with characters repeating words too? That’s not in the games.

I watched the sub, so the repeated words didn't stand out as much but it was a weird creative vision to add into an already existing universe with it's own slang.
also the subtitels were unreadable in some scenes because some genius decided that subtitles dont need a black outline in a show that has bright neon colors in the bottom of the screen 50% of the time

Yeah I liked it too, but they really could have made more episodes.
Tbh at times it felt like the characters didnt really care much about each other, one example being when the guys mother died he didnt shed a single tear lol. I know he still has her urn, but that just felt weird to me.
But I like the setting of the show, Id watch more. Even thought about getting the game, but not sure considering how it was received.

My first thought was that it was made for school hating teenagers to self insert.(ep 10)And just like the game I think the story about becoming a criminal to "live fast, die young and make a legendary name for yourself" is lame AF. You're going to be forgotten in no time flat because next week there'll be a new flavor of the month crime team with the same goal. They all think they are the exception.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. The point of the story or the point that David and Co knew that would happen?It seemed to me that they actually thought that the final mission would succeed, and they failed to see it as a trap.

To them there's hope, but to the audience we can see that its fruitless, the corp always wins. Look at the opening song, The Fffire, they edited out the lyrics about burning down the city, because they can't actually beat it. The opening even has a figure shaped like a tower shooting the main character in the head, symbolizing the futility of struggle against the corps and the inevitable end for doing so.

Just finished episode 8 so I'm at the exact same point you are. I don't think the moon will be a deus ex machina though, we just had the foreshadowing about one way tickets being affordable this episode. I think that with nothing left to lose, she'll up and leave with what little she has left.
