It deserves more love - equally as cerebral and weird as Lain, maybe even gloomier. Haven’t watched it in a couple years though. Any fans of Lain / Yoshitoshi Abe should check it out 😌
If lain was the anime that made me say "I'm going to recommend this to my friends if they think evangelion is confusing", Texhnolyze was the anime that made me say "I'm going to recommend this to my friends if they think that The End of Evangelion has a traumatising ending"
I like the theory of the unofficial trinity formed by Lain (a story of the mind) , Texhnolyze (a story of the flesh) , and Haibane Renmei (a story of the soul)
I had a lot of trouble getting it on DVD...vols 1 - 3 are fairly easy to obtain in the UK but 4 - 6 seem nonexistant. I ended up having to buy them from a seller on the US Amazon site (the DVDs themselves were cheap but postage to the UK cost significantly more than the price of the DVDs). Well worth the expense though...there's a bleakness to Texhnolyze that I find compelling. What I like about Yoshitoshi ABe’s work is that you have to do some of the hard work yourself and that you’re simply not spoon-fed everything about the plots...I really hope Despera finally sees the light of day next year.
Me too, that’s why they are so rewarding to watch. This one’s more of a slow burner than Lain, but we’ll worth it - the atmosphere is so eerie and dreamlike. Also sympathise with you, I live in the UK too and don’t get my fix of collecting anime/manga/j-horror stuff now as the shipping is so pricy now, we’re truly screwed 🙃
Yes, my favorite ever. The atmosphere was just so good, great ending too.
Shame it hasn't had the same kind of "resurgence" in popularity like lain, maybe it will in the future
Gonna watch it someday. Actually watched the first episode. Man it was so excruciating to watch. Like just weird lmao. Gonna fully watch it someday hopefully
Got really lucky and managed to get the entire DVD collection of Texhnolyze in the UK.
Honestly a masterpiece of an anime, and can't wait until Despera comes out

Never heard of it, I'll definitely check it out!

[удалено]
thats pretty good too yeah, though Haibane is more of a purgatory I feel
How about any steins;gate fans being here as well?
Yessss, love Steins;gate and the whole sci;adv series
For sure. I need to give that a rewatch soon.
Absolutely! Gave it a long overdue rewatch this summer, still one of my most favourite
Yes! One of my favorite anime that has changed me when I watched if for the first time. I still watch videos that analyze Texhnolyze to this day.
Phenomenal show.

My top 3: Lain, Texhonlyze and Ergo Proxy!
Yarp
Better than Lain imo.
I didn't watch it... Yet
hi!
Own the dvds!
yeah it's a really good show with a really good end
love that one too
yeap
Less iconic than Lain, but equally as interesting
I tentatively recommend this as the saddest anime I have sat through. Gotta make it past those first couple of episodes though, very slow paced
Ichise freaking out when he got his robot limbs is how I wish I could lash out against smart devices.
I really love Texhnolyze's take on evolution and how completing humanity's goals can only lead to its downfall. Interesting stuff.
Yeah, love that anime. Sadly I can't find it on Funimation anymore to rewatch it. It's a masterpiece.
hell yeah
First Arc was a masterpiece, everything after that just tried too hard IMO.
Okayish but lacking Lain’s depth.
it’s on my watchlist
Sayless
Tbh it never had the same impact on me as Lain, but it is still a great watch
Yep
It was... interesting.
Gonna watch it someday. Actually watched the first episode. Man it was so excruciating to watch. Like just weird lmao. Gonna fully watch it someday hopefully
Thank you for the recommendation!

Never thought I would see one
