Yet another short OVA series (4 eps). Guess I like short series recently huh… Or maybe i only review more of such type? Hehe…
The story’s set in the future, in an age where people can “dive” into the wired world. Some people escape into the wired world to avoid reality. Some become hackers of cyberspace. The story centres around this guy who was part of a group of hackers and the things that happen as he seeks revenge for one of his friends killed during a “dive” to attempt to hack into a server. Yes, u die if u get killed in the cyberspace. Oh yeah, mecha is involved in cyberspace battling. Sounds like crossing many genres in order to (hopefully) capture the attention of more people.
Animation wise it’s pretty nicely done but i guess anime nowadays can achieve standards like this if they dont slack too much. Well things happen and eventually a threat in the cyberspace would also great affect the real world, since it heavily relies on the wired networks to get things going. And so, the protagonist ends up saving the world (of course.) Guess nothing that outstanding on the story part, except the background of certain characters in the show which are quite interesting (or maybe not).
Overall, pretty ok to watch. One of the better standalone OVAs i’ve watched i guess, though it might have been a little rushed since it’s so short. Heard there’s a game on this, but i didnt bother to go check it out…
