Perfectly
mixed with 3-D animations, it is a movie-quality series with some
thoughts into new aspects of technologies and supernatural phenomena.
The plot was created based on an outbreak of a fatal virus, mixed
with a new scientific aspect of virus treatment, using nanotechnology.
This anime is, therefore, innovative in terms of ideas.
Nevertheless, romance and relationship aspects make this anime
even more interesting. With only 4 episodes, people will not encounter
the problem of a slow pace of the story. Expectedly, the audience
will concentrate only on one theme, not being distracted by unnecessary
plots and details. The OST,
which is in a progressive style, matches the story very well.
It is also worth noticing that there is no opening music video
at the start of each episode like most series. The audience does
not need to lose time for that boring and repeated opening to
end prior to the show. In overall, this series is pretty good,
especially for SciFi fans. The only weakness is that, even if
the story shows the audience about feelings and pain of a girl
as well as a little bit of impressive relationship, the insight
into characters’ feelings is insufficient and too short. Due to
the very limited number of episodes, the audience seemingly does
not have enough time to develop the feelings along and to feel
the pain and loneliness of the girl, Ai, who
has been the test subject for years. Some people might not be
so moved by the show.
