Sights - This is an anime with somewhat decent animation. There are certainly other shows with better visuals, but this show is still nice to look at and there are some interesting world-building choices.
Sounds - I don't speak Japanese, but for the most part the voice acting sounds pretty good. The soundtrack is also very well done and fits the world of this show.
Story - This anime admittedly has a bit of a sloppy start as it tries to fit a lot of different subplots into a short period of time. After that, everything sorts itself out and flows much better. If anything presented in episode one seems interesting, then you'll probably like the show. This is a very interesting sci-fi which explores the concept of AI robots existing in society very well. There are a lot of exposition dumps, and monologues where it isn't clear if the character is actually talking or not. The characters aren't developed very consistently, but overall they're ok.
I wouldn't call this a great show, but there are a lot of interesting concepts here regarding artificial intelligence. It probably could've been done better, but this series is still somewhat entertaining.
I'm not going to edit this review too much, but I would like to say that I ended up dropping this anime pretty fast. All it has is hypothetical potential, and some interesting ideas that are severely underdeveloped. I would not recommend it.
