| Yeah it's pretty good. Watching it feels like listening to Kid A if that makes any sense. |

| Currently in PTW but not yet. maybe one day |
| It's been on my PTW list for several years, which some might consider odd or surprising to hear, considering the fact that three anime series which are either directly related to it (in the case of the first two) or supposedly linked in some of the subject matter and heavy atmospheric and experimental style and approach (the latter) - Serial Experiments Lain, Haibane Renmei, and Ergo Proxy, are all in my all-time Top 10 and some of my few 9/10 and 10/10-tier anime. |
| No, I haven't watched it, and I'm not planning to anytime soon. |
   |
| Have heard good things about it but not on my PTW and Idk when I’ll get to it. |
   |
| I have. Mad punching demon Ichise is one of the most hilarious protagonists out there. |

| yes, I liked it. I love Konaka and ABe |
| I tried an episode because I'm a fan of the artist. It turns out it's exactly the sort of show that doesn't interest me. |

| @WatchTillTandava The only thing Haibane Renmei and Texhnolyze have in common is the character designer. Texhnolyze is more like Lain, as they share both writer and character designer. |

Lucifrost said: The only thing Haibane Renmei and Texhnolyze have in common is the character designer. Texhnolyze is more like Lain, as they share both writer and character designer. Yeah, I just meant ABe as the character designer. But interestingly, even though the writing is different, these are often included alongside each other in discussions about series with commonalities or placed as recommendations for one another. With SEL the connection is more direct and the premise and plot itself obviously more linked, so it's often included in a cyberpunk trio alongside Texhnolyze and Ergo Proxy (which doesn't share the same creative origin as the other two). With Haibane Renmei it's probably just because of the character designs, but an even earlier ABe series like NieA under 7, usually isn't included so it has to be for some other reason. NieA is probably just even more obscure by now than the others, including Haibane Renmei, so it could just be lack of knowledge/awareness, but I think Haibane is often grouped together with these other works because it's still slower-paced, contemplative, and concerned with the topic of existence. NieA actually is too, just arguably not to the same extent, more comedic, and again, lesser-known. |

| Yoshii episodes are best part of the Anime |
| The truly intelligent person is one who can pretend to be a fool in front of a fool who pretends to be intelligent. |
| watched some of it. prefer GiTS95 and Policenauts |
| :v |
| Yes, but only once. Do want to revisit it one day to get a better understanding of the show, but not in the near future. I thought it would be boring because it looked bland and it moved slow, but it was really atmospheric and interesting. It was a well made show. |

| It's fantastic. Has one of the most immersive settings and impressive art direction in anime. Really due for a rewatch. |
Take care of yourself |

| Yeah. Really pretentious, the way I like my anime |
 |
| Yes I did. But have y'all guys watched Gang-aji Ttong? |
 |
| I could only stand two episodes before dropping it. Maybe it's not for everyone, I know some people that really liked it. On the other hand, I still listen to the opening pretty often. Even when I'm not into trance music, it's the best trance song I've ever heard. I didn't know it was made by Juno Reactor, who also made the Matrix OST, which I also love. |

| doessnt look like something i'd enjoy. kind of tired of watching shows that don't care about whether their audience is even entertained by their bleakness |

| "have you guys watched texhnolyze?" Naaah, sounds like one of those "lets push your emotion buttons, just for the sake of it" titles. I don't need that. |
| Yes i have. It was better upon rewatch but still not that good. |
| As well as being a thought-provoking dystopian sci-fi anime, I always thought Texhnolyze worked well as a political thriller too (which is a bit of a rare genre in anime). I forgot if I gave it a 9 or a 10. |

| the first few episodes are cool, then you get to suffer through 20 episodes of unrelated gang wars before the final arc with the actual cyberpunk stuff happens. berserk and gungrave are the same way. false advertisement. it was extremely boring. |

I forgot if I gave it a 9 or a 10. That's a large part of the successful formula behind what makes Higurashi season two so powerful and exciting in a refreshing way as well (also serving as a political thriller). One more reason to eventually watch this. |
| Yes, nihilistic program for nihilistic teens, just not my cup of tea. |

| I saw it years ago but despite being a very bleak and grim series, I did like it. Not exactly the kind of series I'm craving to rewatch again like Serial Experiments Lain but it was a good one and for someone who was going through a lot, found it to be something I could immerse myself into. |
| Watched at a time where it was very inappropriate for my age but I vividly remember loving it. I plan on doing a rewatch soon. I highly recommend people who haven't watched it to give it a chance. |
 |
| Yes, it was the only 2deep4you Animu that I knew I would love once I watched it and that's exactly what happened. |
 |
| Yes, it's decent but not really my thing overall. Too depressing for my taste. |

| I've seen it. I found it to be underwhelming. It tries to be bleak and that's exactly what it is. |

| Ohhhh how I miss you Texhnolyzzzzzzzzz |
|
| I watched it on TV because my computer that I did gaming work on was down. |
| Soldier F is Lance Corporal David James Cleary |
| Yeah, one of my favorites. Can't wait to finally re-watch it fully after I'm done properly revising scores for some of my lower-rated entries. KitsuFrost said: Texhnolyzzzzzzzzz Lol |
| Something thats been in my PTW for eons now... ^^" |
| I have seen it due to it being produced by the same folks who made Serial Experiments Lain & Haibane Rename. It's good but very depressing & bleak. It had great atmosphere, amazing soundtrack & banger Opening & especially ending songs. Although it's my least favourite ABe anime it was still an interesting experience. |
| Has anyone really ever watched Texhnolyze. It's good, but it's so heavy that our modern society won't let us commit to 24 episodes of it. I watched the first episode and digged the vibes. It's been on my on-hold list ever since. |
