When I saw the high ratings, I decided to give it a shot, although I don't trust Netflix and their production. Anyways, I never played the game, and I just know the name, so I am not biased towards the game.
So the anime takes place in a world with advanced technology, and the MC is poor, yet he is enrolled in an elite academy or something. His mother is working hard to pay his tuition, but he does not care much ... until his mother dies. You would expect him to regret things but nope he decided to install this cyber skeleton for no reason
...
because why not?
He went to school and hit the guy who bullied him before, then literally dropped out of school -- his poor mother wasted her life and money for nothing.
The school principal or whatever saw the new power the MC had now, so the principal wanted to get him back to school so that they could control him, so they just tried to trick him by offering a scholarship but he ignored them and that's it for the school.
He met this girl who wanted to still his chip or whatever, but he caught her then randomly decided to work with her. And what a coincidence, the skeleton he used was ordered by Maine, who works with this girl Lucy.
The MC now decided to work with them, and Maine was, apparently, his mentor. They started doing random jobs, and characters died randomly. At this point, you can easily predict that Maine will become cyberpsycho so that the MC can take his arms, then the MC will also become a cyberpsycho leaving Lucy. This obviously happened as expected, then randomly, some antagonists appeared who wanted Lucy and wanted to control the MC. Adam Smasher or whatever his name appeared and killed the MC.
There is literally no character development, no world development, and bad plot development. Characters have no depth, and they do random things. We know nothing about all the charcters, why the antagonists want Lucy, what Lucy is hiding, what is exactly a cyberpsycho, and more
Also, apparently, you can avoid turning to psycho by lowering your specs, but nope, both Maine and the MC decided not to do that because why not? If we don't overuse our power, then there is no plot so let's do it.
You can rarely find a good fully-developed plot adapted into 12-episode anime, yet they tried to squeeze an entire plot into a 10-ep anime with 24 minutes per episode.
I admit that the visuals were nice, and the animation was decent, but that's it. I wouldn't rate an anime high because of its visuals, animation, and blood.
Fun: 4 out of 10 -- I had to watch it with x2 speed because it was so boring. Anything below 5 is like a 0/10 for me.
Visuals: 8/10
