ID-0

Let's be honest, sometimes we avoid some series after seeing the other users score, but ID-0 has been underrated by some reviewers, social networks, etc. The anime started with a 6.23 and ended with a 6.85, in the last episodes, ID-0 developed a good narrative. The story follows a group of "excavators" that seeks a mineral called Orichlat. During this search, humanity has developed I-Machines that moves the consciousness of a person into a robot, in other words, the human becomes a machine. Some members of these excavators have decided to move their memory into the machine forever. One of that persons is Ido,a machine without any memories. During their adventures, Ido finds some information that could tell him his origin. The story involves all the crew of the excavators and others persons that are taken by them, the pacing of the story is good. However, some unexplained plot holes could destroy the narrative. About the characters, some of them could be generic, and we could expect weird behavior, but in general, they keep the audience entertained until the end. The animation has some CGI mix, for some persons could be annoying but has some remarkable scenes. The music is good. The OP song reached the Oricon Jpop ranking. In general, this anime has: - A conspiration - Unexpected story twist - Good music - Science Fiction - Vessels and spacecraft :D - A creature in the body of a robot (really) - Main characters that aren't too generic If you have some time, you should watch the first episodes and give this anime a try.

The story progresses in a meaningful way, with just enough surprises to keep you interested. As in the best of stories we learn quickly that a number of characters are not who you might think that they are. As is so typical in many Japanese stories, characters are not black and white but shades of gray. Also appealing was the writing. Every time I thought I knew where the story was "finally" going, it didn't. It's hard to surprise me nowadays, so this was a major plus. The is one of the very rare anime whereI immediately watched the first episode a second time. Some lines, and even facial expressions have added meaning when you see them again after having watched the entire episode. The voice actors did an excellent job of matching their sounds to the character's personalities. My only feeling of slight disappointment was that the OP and ED songs left me wanting something more, especially the ED sung in somewhat broken English...sigh.... Nice micro story add-on after the closing credits that left me wanting to see more. (Which is very rare for me. I've been watching anime for over 30 years and not much manages to hook me like this series has.) Much appreciated is a "what happened to them" segment after the final closing credits. After watching the entire series my initial impression remains. This is one of the best of its type that I've seen in a decade.

This was a great hidden gem, a series that I almost missed, but happened to catch on a list of shows that wasn't on crunchyroll, and I'm so glad I did, I hope more people find out about this series, wonderful animation and everything that makes me think back to the anime I loved in the 80's and 90's. Story: A strange story but well done one, about humanity that has discovered a way to travel FTL using this powerful ore and can't say much more, but it just worked for me. There are still some questions, but nothing that bothers me. Art:A nice blend of CGI and other styles, nothing stood out as bad, and it was heavily effective in many places and situations. Sound: A great sound track, nice sound effects, it is the kind of stuff I want from a good anime, the ending song is my favorite this season, and not even sure why, I love the words, but the voice isn't the kind that would normally be my favorite. Characters: Everyone is unique and different, and over time we learn tho they are, and more about them. I grew to care for them all, and fell in love. Overall and enjoyment: This is by far my favorite anime this season, and there has been some good ones, but something about this just struck all the right cords, I highly recomend it if you've managed to miss it.

I love Science-Fiction, I read almost all Philip K.Dick's Books, I really like Asimov's Sci-Fi, Silverberg, and even the Books of Jules Verne. And I like too Science-Fiction anime like Ghost In The Shell (and every Mamoru Oshii's Movie), and even the Adventure type SCi-Fi by Leiji Matsumoto (Star Blazers, Capitan Harlock). Well, this anime directed by Goro Taniguchi who already did a great space opera with Planetes, has a unique idea that contains a lot of references to titles like Capitan Harlock or science fiction recent movies like Neill Blomkamp Humandroid. The Adventure, the Robots theme, here not controlled by A.I., and this is the bestidea and the most important theme of the entire plot. But there is also something else. There is something beyond. I loved the animation, the graphic style, even the "kawai" type characters, that make this anime right even for kids! Try it and Enjoy this great show!
