Story: 3
Dimension W is a dumb show. Not terrible, it's just dumb. Don't come here for a story that makes sense. If you understand basic maths, then the premise won't excite you. The show never goes into too much depth on anything that happens, it just happens. To enjoy this show you're going to have to get over that. If you take everything as it comes at you, this show will be mildly enjoyable. Don't come here for a fascinating Sci-Fi series, it's a dumb action show.
Characters: 6
As stated previously, this show is enjoyable at times. The action scenes, while not ever being very tense,

are nice to look at. There's no tension due to our super badass protaagonist, Kyouma. I like Kyouma a lot. He's not a teenage hero like a lot of anime and he looks like god damn Wolverine fused with a samurai. His character design is well chosen and he is funny to watch. Kyouma is an asshole and he ain't afraid to hide it. His reactions to a lot of things are amusing, especially one particular scene. The lead female does a whole outfit change and asks if she looks cute. While watcing this scene I rolled my eyes and sighed. Kyouma felt the same way; he just walked off. It was hilarious. Point being, Kyouma is a fun character and he never annoyed me. The lead female, Mira, is kinda just there. She only helps out or serves a purpose on rare occasions. Most of the time, she's just there. I never found her to be very attractive, which the show was insistent on changing. The creator obviously thought she was sexy as hell, because she is shoved down your throat. The show is like:"Hey look! She has an ass! She has tits too! She can be moe if you want!!". Mira feels kind of useless and I never really cared for her or felt worried when she was in danger. As for all the other characters, there's not much to talk about. No characters stand out and the villain is kind of shoehorned in at the last second. The character of Loser is mildly interesting, but nothing more. Kyouma was my saving grace in terms of characters.
Sound: 5
Nothing about the show's soundtrack ever stood out, it's just techno music and some other forgettable tracks for the most part. The opening is the only piece of music of note. The opening was a blast and I looked forward to it every time I started out a new episode. Much like the show itself, it's dumb but looks nice. The animation is flashy and shows Kyouma doing what he does best, being a badass. He dances as well in it for some reason. It's hilarious. The song is catchy too. The opening is definitely worth a listen if only for a laugh.

The animation is very flashy at points during the fight scenes. But like I stated before, there's no sense of tension. Kyouma is never really under any threat due to him being so strong. This kills any tension the show might have built up. A close shave where Kyouma could've died when fighting Loser would have helped a lot. Apart from those moments of flashy animation, the show isn't up to much in regards to its visuals. The character designs are bland except for Kyouma and the backgrounds look very dodgy at times. The show isn't afraid to use CGI either, so if you hate CG stay away.
Enjoyment: 7
So with all these criticisms, you must be wondering why I gave enjoyment a 7. At first, I was pissed off at the show. I thought it was dumb. I wasn't wrong, but I just decided to sit back and take all the dumb shit. To be honest, I had fun. The opening was great, Kyouma was awesome and the fights were cool to look at. If you come here expecting any more, you'll be sorely disappointed. Despite my enjoyment, I can't hide its flaws. It's a flawed show. But at least the opening is hilarious.
