In the cyber city Tom Sawyer, society revolves around earning "Love," akin to receiving likes on social media. Citizens of this augmented reality exchange Love for public services and appearance-changing avatars via the Decoration Customizer, also known as "Deco," a hologram device implanted in an individual's eyes from early childhood. Under the government's careful management, the people of Tom Sawyer live a peaceful existence, outside the occasional appearance of Phantom Zero, a mysterious criminal who brings all Love to zero within their vicinity.
Berry, a mischievous girl fascinated by Phantom Zero, lives comfortably in the system of Tom Sawyer until her Deco malfunctions, enabling her to see a camouflaged prankster named Hack. Believing Hack to be Phantom Zero, Berry chases after the suspect and, in the process, begins to uncover society's most well-kept secrets. As it turns out, Hack is not the only person living outside the system's rules—and the vibrant colors of Tom Sawyer hide a darker nature.

Recommendation: Skip it. Yurei Deco is the kind of anime that cultivates an image of being intelligent social commentary, but ultimately is only interested in the trappings of that and has nothing interesting to say. The first thing you'd think upon being introduced to this series is that it's some sort of satire of the metaverse or social media, but this is instead simply a setting for a generic adventure story. It would have been better even with some ham-handed "social media is like a drug, man" Adbusters bullshit, but doesn't even attempt that. The closest thing there is to social commentary is the Orwellian "CustomerCare Center" censoring inconvenient and harmful information, but the show doesn't even try to engage with the few questions it raises about this and whether or not it's justified. They're never really thematically relevant, just a villain to put our heroes, the Yurei Detective Club, on the run. Likewise, the series extensively references Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, but to no apparent end. It's not a retelling of the story in any way and the references appear to be random and pointless. It gestures at a few interesting ideas but has no intention of following through on any of them.
The lack of any message or point to any of this could be forgiven if Berry and Hack's adventures to discover who is behind Phantom Zero were fun and interesting, but this is actually where it falls the shortest. Phantom Zero is not a compelling villain, she mainly just appears and makes everyone's Love (a kind of internet currency) disappear. Most of the series is just aimless, low stakes "mystery of the week" investigations that are even less interesting than Phantom Zero, until they randomly stumble upon the answers to everything while looking for a ramen stand (not joking) during one of them. The reveal of Zero's identity is underwhelming to say the least after being built up as the central mystery of the series. When it's over, all I could think was "what was the point of all this?" Nothing was different, everyone went back to their lives, and the characters didn't even grow.
The characters are consistently a weak point of the series, rarely rising above cardboard cutout status, and tossing out catchphrases like "Love-y!" and "I Love Ai" in lieu of real personalities. They feel artificial and pointlessly quirky. The needless quirkiness extends to the character designs, which are certainly very unique, but not in a good way. To be blunt about it, they look terrible, and the animation is poor overall, which takes the air out of the very few action scenes that threaten to make this adventure entertaining. The result is an overall visual style that's something like neon VFX vomit over misshapen Blue Reflection Ray characters. Whatever Science SARU was going for here, they missed badly.
If I'm looking for positive things to say about it, I'd say the music is pretty good and the OP is very catchy, and there are a handful of individually compelling scenes, like the scene where Berry contemplates deleting her personal data to get her parents released from custody. But these are few and far between, and a few decent points doesn't add enough to this series to even bring it up to average. Overall, it's a forgettable and disappointing sci fi "adventure" with an uninteresting destination and no reason to exist beyond being a failed experiment in developing a unique visual identity.

If I were to describe this series, I’d describe it as a mixture of Ernest Cline’s “Ready Player One”, and George Orwell’s “1984”, but in a very kid-friendly sense. It tackles themes of a futuristic world of augmented reality and information control, and in a sense, it almost has me fearing if this kind of world is what we’ll see in the future. In a nutshell, Yurei Deco is set in a world filled with advanced technology where people see the world through “Deco”, which is a compulsory piece of equipment for citizens that allows them to see things in augmented reality. The other function ofDeco is for the Customer Center, which is basically the government, to keep tabs on all its citizens. If you don’t have a Deco, you’re considered to be “dead” or “nonexistent”, or a Yurei, as this show describes the phenomenon as. The main character, Berry, has a broken Deco, so she can see some things that the citizens can’t see, such as the Yurei. Through this, Berry’s mundane life expands, and a sci-fi adventure of mystery and exploration begins.
My grading criteria: Story: /25 Art: /10 Music: /10 Characters: /20 Enjoyment /15 Thematic Execution /20
STORY: 13.5/25
The story is interesting, and relatable to a degree, because there are quite a few parallels to modern society, such as the “love” system, which resembles social media likes and also seems like some type of currency or social status. It also has me thinking if the future could be like this, with higher-ups choosing what we see and don’t see. Heck, that might be happening already, who knows? Overall, it’s quite simple, as most of the series is focused on solving mysteries, and also, trying to figure out who “Phantom Zero” is along with the “Zero Phenomenon”, which reduces the love of every person and object down to zero.
The issue I have with the story is that it’s rather underdeveloped. The love system and the world itself are a bit under-explained, and I think that took away from the intrigue I had at the start of the show. With the simplicity of the premise, it wasn’t very engaging all the way through, but it definitely had its good moments.
ART: 7.4/10
I find the colour palette to be quite nice and refreshing, but the character designs left a bit to be desired. It has the Science Saru touch to it, and you can almost feel that Masaaki Yuasa was directing this, but it seemed a bit watered down and less jarring compared to his works.
MUSIC: 8/10
The OST isn’t too noticeable, but there are some good spots of music here and there. Opening and ending are solid, and I enjoyed them as well.
CHARACTERS: 12.6/20
The characters are pretty nice as well, and fun to watch. They each have their unique personalities, and in some cases, some emotional backstories as well. Berry and Hack bounce off each other pretty well, since they’re both curious, mischievous, and want to have fun. They even have unique ways of speech, which was pretty memorable. Finn was a good character too, with a good backstory, and I like the quietness of his character. Not much to really talk about here, since the characters are pretty simplistic.
ENJOYMENT: 10.2/15
Not every part of the show was the most engaging, but I found some episodes to be quite the watch.
THEMATIC EXECUTION: 12.8/20
I like what the show was going for, but some times, the themes just weren’t executed the greatest. I saw a lack of direction in the story themes sometimes, but this show executes the fun factor, and some of the tech factors decently.
OVERALL: 64.5/100
This show was good, but it could have been much better with a bit more depth and a better direction to the story. Overall, just a simple, fun show that won’t have you at the edge of your seat or anything, but will have you intrigued at times.

Style over substance is a phrase I’d never use to describe Yurei Deco. That’s not because I think it does or does not have either style or substance, but because it manages to have both, yet doesn’t know how to utilize them to their fullest capacity. It has all the tools to invent itself as a visually marvelous show with a creative critique on modern society. Given the artstyle, use of visuals, and worldbuilding, was Yurei Deco able to deliver on my expectations or did I set the bar too high? Yurei Deco presents the viewer with a dystopian future that mirrors our current reality. Thatof which the sum of someone’s self and material worth is determined by the amount of “likes” or rather “love” they have. Love is used as a currency and without it, don’t expect life to be a cakewalk. The story follows a young girl named Berry who has the ability to see happenings and glitches that the normal population cannot due to their augmented reality visors/decos. It’s this ability that leads Berry down a rabbithole in uncovering the truth behind how the world got this way and what she can do to fix it, along with the help of some of the friends she makes along the way.
Without squandering your own viewing experience, the reason I kept tuning into this show week after week was for three reasons: the theme, hack, and the world building. More on the latter two later. For now, I want to focus on the messages the show presents throughout. Though an anime critiquing social media, fad culture, and an all seeing “Orwellian” government is nothing too out of the ordinary. I believe the way it’s handled in this show, along with the juxtaposition to its bright, neon, gradient fabricated visuals set atop a gloomy setting with pueblo-like architecture, is quite innovative. Though I wouldn’t necessarily say this is a show tailored towards a younger demographic, I do think the way the show tackles the various philosophies the way it does sets it apart from other series that deal with similar subject matter that have the leniency of being a show geared towards an older demographic and therefore being able to get its message across more bluntly. So seeing how this show managed to make the topic of dealing with reality head on without making it seem as grim and bleak as possible, was clever and fun to watch unfold.
However, in the last act of the show, the show drops the ball on the message in a way that retcons the “anti-all powerful government” message the show was obviously going for since the beginning by just transferring that same amount of “god” power to someone else who we’re supposed to believe is supposed to do the right thing. Now either this show changed its mind on its message at the very last second, or this show is the greatest subversive metacommentary masterpiece on how power is transferred in a government behind the curtains and how we just blindly accept it as the truth or as the right thing. Regardless, I’m likely giving it more thought than the writers were.
A less faulty aspect of this show were the visuals. As I mentioned earlier, we see these projections of a fabricated reality that’s appeal determined by the amount of “love” someone has. Despite this, the viewer can still see the reality faintly hidden behind the projections and I think this a good example of how the bright and gradient effect of heavy colors add to the show’s theme. Even with that aside, I found the visuals on their own pleasing. I’d hesitate in saying that it looks like a western cartoon, but it is visually distinct from its contemporaries. So much so that it was the visual style that initially grabbed my attention. An often overlooked aspect when discussing the visuals, are the 3D backgrounds that are heavily used in the hyperverse. In fact, just about every scene that takes place in the hyperverse takes full advantage of the show’s eccentric artstyle. From CG books, to the way the color palette is used, I always found these scenes to be a place where the show’s visuals truly lend themselves.
The last bit worth touching on is a component that excels and falls in a similar way to the show’s story/message/theme. What I’m referring to are the characters themselves. The interactions and banter between Berry and Hack was another aspect of this show that kept me coming back. I found their conversations and the situations they’d find themselves in to be fun and engaging. Their dialogue was usually silly, juvenile, and full of miscommunication, but that was the beauty of it. I suppose it felt natural and slightly more developed than that of the rest of the cast’s relationship with one another. That’s not to say the other characters are all terribly written, but I felt that the cast was too big for its own good. Despite their creative and cute designs, they don’t nearly get the same amount of development that the two main characters (plus their mentor, Finn) receive. In fact, I think the show would’ve greatly benefitted had it just followed Berry, Hack, and Finn to even better develop them and their relationships with each other so that the audience could grow more fond of them. Because I’m sure I speak for most when I say that none of the other characters felt necessary to the story, like at all, which only helps Finn’s “antifamily” argument in episode eight. Regardless, for the most part the characters felt very flat and underdeveloped. Had the show cut down on the cast, it would have benefitted from having a smaller, yet better cast the audience could actually empathize with. Interestingly enough, I found the Watson and Nue episodes to be my favorites despite them being heavily focused on side characters and being their own self-contained stories. But this is due to them showing off what the show does best, which is using its creative world building to critique ideals that are embedded in our world, rather than the way the characters are written.
Style over substance is a phrase I’d never use to describe Yurei Deco. That’s not because I think it does or does not have either style or substance, but because it manages to have both, yet doesn’t know how to utilize them to their fullest capacity. Given the artstyle, use of visuals, and worldbuilding, was Yurei Deco able to deliver on my expectations or did I set the bar too high? Though I enjoyed my time with this series, I felt that by the time we reached the halfway point, the show had narrowed the scope of its story, message, and character developments and in part so did I with my expectations. It doesn’t help that by the end of the series, the status quo is mostly left the same and the way it deals with the “antagonist” is almost comical. Though certain episodes reminded me that this show did have the ability necessary to do something truly groundbreaking, it largely restrains itself from unleashing its full creative capacity save for a few episodes and moments littered throughout. So sadly, I’d say I set the bar too high, though I’d also say it was still one of the better shows this season.

It's kinda sad to see Yurei Deco kinda underrated, because it's pretty impressive, atleast for me personaly. Despite how it cartoony looks, the overall art of it still looks so dang good, the soundtracks dope, and most importantly the messages that author want to deliver actually pretty deep. The story kinda reminds me about how evil Facebook Community Standard is. The Show itself trying to show what really happen in this current digital era where Illusory Truth Effect, Privacy Violations, and, States Censorship made us live in a bubble, and made us forget how reality looks like. This series really deserves more audiences.

In the world of anime, the sky's the limit for creativity, for the ones that are created in its original structure with no source backing it up. But focusing on this season alone, while at most times with originals like the A-1 Pictures Saturday shows of Lycoris Recoil and Engage Kiss beckoning both form and function, together with style over substance (one good, one bad), where then should we draw the line between the two? And that my friends, is how Yurei Deco is constructed to be just that: a somewhat "style over substance" show that has a unique take on advanced technology. Through the watchfuleyes of director Tomohisa Shimoyama and creator-cum-scriptwriter Dai Sato that involves little to none of either Masaaki Yuasa nor Choi Eunyoung's planning stages, Yurei Deco tells the audience about a world so far-fetched into the future, where VR and AR a.k.a Virtual and Augmented Reality plays a huge part into ordinary people's lives. The gimmick about this Tom Sawyer Island (which I think it's ingenious incorporating the "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" novel for a fascinating story plot) is that everything is done transactionally, by that which I mean that "Love" is the currency, and they are able to exchange it via this "Deco" device which allows free reign over their personalized avatars, governed by a strict system to ensure its safe use. But just like any well-oiled system, nothing is perfect, and the people that fall outside of this specification are labelled as "Yurei", people-defect within the cracks of a well-governed system. And to make matters worse, the Trojan Horse comes in the form of Phantom Zero, which robs people of their Love, allowing it to garner to a status of a game called the "Phantom Zero Nation" to lure normal, typical citizens into a wild goose chase of getting their own money stolen.
Yurei Deco's focus stems on Berry, whom has a glitch in the Deco accessory installed in her right eye, and she's able to see things that normal citizens can't, which makes her more of an anomaly within her social settings. And that same anomaly is how she met Hack, a fuzzy-looking gargle-looking kid who is able to hack and traverse the Hyperverse looking for the next prank to bait. With Phantom Zero's appearance, things go heinously wrong for the duo, and with the team of rag-tag unusuals, this is the expedition of the Yurei Detective Club and their quest to subdue Phantom Zero and save the Tom Sawyer Island from further disintegration.
For a start, Yurei Deco inches in on its fantasy and mystery elements well just like another Science SARU show (that's "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!"), and though the tingling bears on my tongue to say that this show is not for everyone, it certainly was that to take a grain of salt to believe that anime could be anything the creators desired it to be. And that message certainly wasn't an afterthought, for it purposefully takes its time building up notes to create a cohesive story plot, even when it feels like watching episodes that are partial disconnects to the wonky direction of where the plot was going at times. But if there's one bad thing to point out of the entirety of this original anime, is that it can feel like it's a "style over substance" show that's a nod to Science SARU's unique visuals.
And for a story to connect, it must have compelling characters to boot, and most certainly each of them has SWOTs in their own regard. The Chinese-looking Finn as the head of the Yurei Detective Club is smart and intelligent, but while his words are few and concise, he often works like a lonewolf, putting his trust on himself alone and looking at the others like they are tools for his greater purpose. The African afro-looking Hank is there just for show, though he keeps the Detective Club together as his motive. Smiley and Madam 44 aren't just members guiding Finn, Berry and Hack along, but they're family too that occasionally helps in times of trouble. And last but not least, there's Mr. Watson, though peculiarly dressed in a suit and donning a large cat mask that is a being of few words, that is unless he needs to talk through his notepad. A few fair chances of charismatic characters like Finn, Berry and Hack which allows for more of the childlikeness to come about, though it can feel flat at times. But aside from Hack being the most animated out of everyone who's unafraid of showing his likes and dislikes, a rag-tag team of misfits with an aim to expose the greatest danger that threatens theirs and everybody's home, it's a Tom Sawyer adventure that's worth the ride, both in and out of the Hyperverse.
It's not surprising that for Masaaki Yuasa's own studio that is Science SARU, anime tends to go ham and wild, because it's a very distinct style that you would not find anywhere else. It feels animated and surreal of a world being guided by both VR and AR, so much so that it feels like a peak into the near "future of the past" like richness that can be made a reality. Yurei Deco definitely portrays itself as like Western-made cartoons, shows made to appeal to the younger audience, that it goes underappreciated at times. What can I tell you, it's Science SARU, so expect the unexpected and let the world just vibrate in all of its glow and wonder, which the show did good on that promise.
The OST could've been better for Yurei Deco being a very imaginative, whimsical, yet down-to-earth, fantasy-like show. You don't always feel the effect of background music a.k.a BGM in many shows, but some take it to a more prudent level of priorities, and unfortunately in this case is where the anime suffers from retaining its uniqueness. While the ED that's a duo collab between Hack'nBerry's VAs are just decent, it's Clammbon's OP that really shouts creativity in the most psychedelic way (aside from sounding good) of engagement, popping out at where it matters most. It's unironically one of the better OPs of the season in my humble opinion, and I would gladly stand by it.
All in all, Yurei Deco could've been a standout show with the likes of Science SARU's influence, but it's the storytelling that really matters, and this is kinda of a mixed bag between decent to good in spots. It definitely feels like a Dai Sato conceptualized anime that's just as bonkers coming from someone that's a creative madman, but here's some advice: Being complicated and being complex, doesn't mean the same thing.
Recommended or not, just give this a try and see whether it does for you.

Another summer 2022 showing us that a good idea and good art style are not enough to carry an entire show. I felt like this show had overwhelming potential -- the animation is great, the art style is very colorful and vibrant (although maybe a little prescribed), and I thought that, at first, the story could be interesting. However, it basically just turned into the same old litany that we've been hearing since 2005: "social media is bad!" "not everything you read on the internet is true!" etc. etc. Basically Babby's First 1984, except not nearly as engaging or compelling. Had this been released likea decade ago, I think it would have fared a lot better. But it just ended up feeling very trite and vapid. I mean, they literally teach social media literacy classes in middle schools--the whole "social media distorts reality" schtick is so worn-out, and especially given Gen Z's much more healthy upbringing and understanding of the social media landscape than we had, I can only see this being a hit with like boomers. Truly a shame!

Yurei Deco is a great childrens show that's enjoyable for adults, that's what it is. There is nothing deep in it, nothing is explained or mulled over in great detail, everything is what it is on the surface and nothing more, all the messages and morale is served up front and spelled out. It's a cut and dry mystery adventure show for kids where some cool stuff happens and there is unjust things happening in the world that only the kids and the outcasts understand because the adults are too busy doing what they believe to be the right thing. But is it right? That's whatthey show answers upfront for ya.
The visuals are lovely and is designed like Kaiba tried to look like a modern normal show, it's got that fluffy look with round shapes and bright colours but normalized into more normal looking human beings,
Personally I kinda loved it, it's simple, doesn't overstay its welcome, it's completely flat in character development and any conflict is swiftly resolved, I think if I was a japanese parent this would be a perfect and good time to just sit and watch with my kids.
It's not hard to understand why the few people that have watched it disliked it, because this is not an intellectual show, it's not deep and it's not trying to provide any thought provoking ideas. That's not to say it's completely devoid of any of it, it just has very little of it, and none of it is dealt with and investigated in through the story, it's more statements thrown out there and done.
Also both the OP and ED has such catchy intro parts, the wave-like synth of the OP really grabs me and the beginning vocal segment of the ED with the long vocals is chefs kiss to my ears. Neither song are absolute bangers, but nevertheless I listened to both for almost all episodes which seldomly ever happens for me.
8/10, you might hate it, I loved it

What a disappointment Yurei Deco is. Even the very different and nice art style could not save this anime. I had a lot of expectations for an anime of Science SARU, Yuasa's company. In fact, we started well. The first two episodes were very good. The protagonist is curious and fun. She, like us viewers, is introduced to a new occult world. It is the world below the cyber world of social networks and the dominant society. And that' s the first problem. We are introduced to a world that is a bit "distopic", but the characters don't find it that way. In truth, this isvery "realistic". The characters live in this world, so they think everything is normal, like the frequent use of an ocular device. However, we are never really introduced to this rich technological world. It's a shame, because there is a lot to be discussed.
After this introduction of the two episodes, the anime begins the Slice of Life phase. There are some good episodes, but in general they are mediocre. As the plot advances, we discover the mystery of the ghost. Unfortunately, this is quite poor. The conclusion of the anime proves this point. It's so confusing and poorly written that I couldn't be entertained. An abomination!!!
Therefore, I do not recommend this anime.
In english.
Yurei Deco est une déception. Même le style artistique très différent et très agréable ne pourrait pas sauver c'est anime.
J'avais beaucoup d'expectative pour un anime de Science SARU, l'entreprise de Yuasa. En fait, on commençait bien. Les premiers deux épisodes étant très bons. La protagoniste est curieuse et amusante. Elle, comme nous les spectateurs, est introduite dans un nouveau monde occulte. C'est le monde bas le monde cybernétique des réseaux sociaux et de la société dominante. Ça, c'est le premier problème. Nous sommes introduit a un monde un peu "distopique", mais les personnages ne trouvent pas ça de ces ambiances. En vérité, ça c'est très "réaliste". Les personnages vivre dans ce monde, donc ils pensent que tout ça est normal, comme l'usage fréquente d'un appareil oculaire. Pourtant, on n'est jamais présenté à cette richesse de monde technologique. C'est dommage, car il y a beaucoup pour être discuté.
Après cette introduction des deux épisodes, l'anime commence une étape de Slice of Life. Il y a quelque épisodes bons, mais en général ils sont médiocres. À mesure que l'intrigue avance, on découvre le mystère du fantôme. Malheureusement, ça c'est plutôt mauvais. La conclusion de l'anime en démontre. C'est autant confus et mal écrit que je ne pourrais pas être diverti. Une abomination!!!
Par conséquent, je ne recommande pas cet anime.

Yurei Deco é uma decepção. Mesmo o estilo de arte muito diferente e agradável não pôde salvar o anime.
Eu tinha muitas expectativas para um anime da Science SARU, a empresa da Yuasa. Na verdade, nós começamos bem. Os dois primeiros episódios foram até bons. A protagonista é curiosa e divertida. Ela, como nós telespectadores, é apresentada a um novo mundo oculto. É uma realidade abaixo do mundo cibernético das redes sociais e da sociedade dominante. E este é o primeiro problema. Somos apresentados a um mundo que é um pouco "distópico", o que gera uma necessidade do enredo de ser apresentado, visto que essa diferença para nossa realidade gera curiosidade. Mas os personagens não pensam assim. Na verdade, isto é muito "realista". Os personagens vivem neste mundo, então eles pensam que tudo é normal, como o uso frequente de um dispositivo ocular. Assim, nunca somos realmente apresentados a este rico mundo tecnológico, o que é uma pena, porque há muita coisa a ser discutida. Nem mesmo o mundo marginalizado é bem explorado, já que os episódios são meio sem foco, como falo a seguir.
Após esta introdução dos dois episódios, o anime começa a fase de Slice of Life. Há alguns bons episódios, mas em geral eles são medíocres. À medida que a trama avança, descobrimos o mistério do fantasma, mas infelizmente isso tudo é muito fraco. A conclusão do anime prova este ponto. É tão confuso e mal escrito que não pude me divertir. Uma abominação! Foi o que fez eu abaixar tanto a nota, por sinal. O anime parecia não entender nada que ele pretendia dizer. Foi quase como se tudo tivesse sido em vão.
Portanto, eu não recomendo este anime.

Yurei Deco gives you a lot to ponder. Berry and her detective club, made up of a society’s remnants, live in a Cyber world where one’s self worth and security are built on a fragile system of what can be an ephemeral currency vulnerable to computer glitches and hacking. Nothing seems real or concrete in the Deco world as its citizens view the world through implanted deco lenses which distort the truth. The technology intrudes in everyone’s personal lives as the government scrubs unwanted information and can even scrub out entire identities of its citizens making them outcasts. Indeed, technology can seriously overreach. Amidst allof this, the club members, who tune out of the reality altering deco lenses, see things as they really are and learn what true family means and how to communicate person-to-person.
The show also deals with the uncomfortable topic of loss including the death of an AI. Another episode features Madame 44, an elder, who deals with the loss of her youth and the death of an old friend.
The characters were nicely developed given the time limit (12 episodes) and the number of characters. Each character has a unique appearance. I love Berry with all her energy, Hack with all her quirkiness, Mr. Watson with his surprises and Finn with his smooth style and mannerisms.
The music, especially the OP, was lively and fun. It fit the Cyber world. I also enjoyed the quirky animation style with its beautiful colors. The animation was fast paced and seamless.
The ending satisfied me. The club solves the mystery of Phantom Zero. Hack is able to enact changes resulting in a less intrusive government and a more inclusive society. That is a big win for the club. Finally, there is a wonderful reunion.
Overall, Yurei Deco is the type of show I hoped it would be. It was fun to watch, yet at the same time it confronted serious issues. In twelve episodes I feel that it covered a lot of ground. The show was highly entertaining. I definitely recommend it for those who like anime that dares to be different. It was a treat to watch.

Another great anime from the Science Saru, it actually brings an interesting spin on dystopia without becoming too pseudo-intellectual. The episodic format works great in this anime; you get to see enough of the world to see how it works. The characters are interesting and fun, with just enough backstory for you to care about (some a bit more, some a bit less). Most importantly the anime actually has a very consistent theme all through its run and stays consistent with it at the end, resolving itself in a way that is believable to the world. Plus it is an anime original and those arealways nice to see.
You should definitely watch this one.
