About The Defective

The Defective (残次品·放逐星空) blends action, mecha and sci-fi by LX Animation Studio (2021). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. What the story covers: The series follows Lu Bixing and Lin Jingheng, two very different men caught up in a futuristic dystopia where mind-link tech known as Eden controls society. One out of every hundred people can’t interface with Eden and are deemed “defective” as outcasts.

As things develop, these two will work together to struggle against this unjust realm.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 16 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by LX Animation Studio, so the studio's house style defines how The Defective looks and moves on screen. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.5/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 2021, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
