Not interested in the other reviews, interested in what I thought.
And I'm a colossal BR fan of every single version I can get my hands on. The original movie, the DC, the FC, the sequel, the staggeringly brilliant 1997 game and of course the original book.
So while I'm not a fan of anime or animation in general, I had to see this given the subject.
And while it's not perfect, as a BR fan who enjoys all content set in the LA 2019- world, this was a decent job as 6x 20-minute episodes.
It had a mix of the game's feel alongside vibes of 2049, and it was intriguing to see a couple of 2049 cameos, albeit a little disappointing there was nothing of the original movie really, aside a building with a distinct resemblence to the Bradford Building.
But that was ok - the story? It was decent. I actually gave a damn about the characters, and the finale wasn't bad at all. Maybe a little rushed and lacking depth but it was fun.
People expecting Philip K Dick-esque philosophy and mind-blowing new tropes might be a bit disappointed in this, but if you just like BR and that world, as long as you're not expecting photo-realistic visuals, the episodes should keep your interest.
Not quite sure what Adam Jensen was doing in there though...
