About Texhnolyze

Here is what Texhnolyze is about, retold in plain terms: an action, drama and psychological anime by MADHOUSE and Group TAC (2003). At its core: In a man-made underground society, descendants of a banished generation vie for control of the crumbling town of Lux. Ichise, an orphan turned prize fighter, loses a leg and an arm to satisfy an enraged confront promoter.

As things develop, on the brink of death he is taken in by a young woman doctor and used as a guinea pig for the next evolution of Texhnolyze. With his new limbs, Ichise is taken under the wing of Oonishi, a mighty leader of Organ, an organization with some hold on Lux. As Ichise is drawn deeper into a war for territorial control of the town, he learns of his possible future from the young girl prophet Ran, who guides him from the shadows in his darkest times.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Ichise (Satoshi Haga) and Ran (Shizuka Itou) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. The run is 22 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
