ProxyProx

Given that there's only about 23 mins to this Micro series across 5 episodes i'm not really taking pacing into consideration. I rated this purely off of proof of concept and what was achieved in the allotted amount of time. I remember seeing this on Toonami when i was about 11 years old and was taken aback by how cool it seemed. After viewing this it left me with a longing for more as it wasn't able to be properly wrapped up. We were then given news that a full series was being adapted due to this micro series success but unfortunately we were metwith the disappointment that they drastically altered the entire premise of IGPX and turned it into nothing more than a racing anime i.e. Robot Nascar. Now the full series wasn't awful but it was nothing compared to this micro series which was significantly better in character designs and personalities as well as overall premise and art style. Forever wishing this to be adapted into a proper full series, perhaps Netflix will pick it up one day as they seem to adapt obscure older anime that we've long since forgotten. Overall i give this a 10/10 for the Nostalgia but critically maybe a 7 due to its limitations of being a micro series.
