This series had the potential to bridge the gap between two of the greatest science fiction films of all time. However, it majorly disappoints in doing that. The animation is mediocre due to the motion capture used in it. I'm sure that motion capture technology can be used very well in anime, but it simply wasn't in this series. All of the characters visually felt very stiff and lifeless. The acting (in the English version) is suitable in some characters and very flat in others. Although, I will note that this series debuted with the English dub and Japanese dub on the same day, which ... is impressive considering how difficult that must've been to coordinate. The story presents very interesting concepts (like in both Blade Runner films) which is great but it explains them far too much, which is disappointing since it gives me the impression that it doesn't trust the audience to figure out these things for themselves. The plot is interesting, but it drags on far too much and could've been told in a much more optimal way. I certainly do admire all of the effort that Sola, Adult Swim, Crunchyroll, and everyone else involved put into this series, plus it was awesome to see an entry of the Blade Runner franchise get such a big promotional push, but the series itself isn't worth watching.
