TV series format into an anime with a video game-style of art & animation.I think you can see why 2D purists and hardcore anime fans either disliked it or never gave it a chance,and I feel sorry for both,as well as the creators who if this were made into a TV Series would have a much higher rating and audience,at the same time I am glad for myself and every bladerunner,cyberpunk & sci-fi fan out there that we got this.

I watched the first part 3 times, ...
