An interesting premise, but the animator was too enamoured with his artwork to keep the story moving (for example, there was one long scene of city streets, no dialogue, only music, dragged everything to a halt, just when the story most needed to come to some progressions). An editing room would have helped this film tremendously. This is considered Iconic cyberpunk, and, many people speak of it being evocative of BLADE RUNNER, but I found the exposition to be labourious, and the anime self indulgent. I, apologetically, give it a 5 (meh) out of 10. I am, however, curious to know where the evolution (pun intended) of the story goes.

I think you didn't get the city scene at all. The fact that there is no dialogue doesn't mean the story is not progressing because this particularly scene was meant to be a psychological insight into Makoko's newly awakened psyche, as hinted by the reuse of the opening score, deliberately put to represent the birth of the cyborg (in this case the rebirth).

@nancy-l-draper I don't love the movie and agree with some of your criticism regarding the exposition dumps but the quiet parts were beautiful mood setting.

@the_argentinian Yes. There was a serenity around the beauty of the art. Thank you for pointing that out.
