Synopsis

The domed city of Romd is an impenetrable would-be utopia where humans and robots coexist and everything is under complete government control - or so it appears.

While working on a mysterious murder case, Re-l Mayer, a female detective from the Civilian Intelligence Office, receives a foreboding message that something is going to "awaken." That night, she's attacked by a deformed super-being. What was this unidentified monster that attacked her, and who was the figure that came in between them?

As Re-l attempts to unlock this spiraling mystery, a metaphysical battle cry leads her to the unknown outside world...

Contains episodes 1-4.

Review

This anime is by far one of the best out there.
The animation took a step in a new direction and it paid off. The plot to this series will probably go over the head of most of the typical anime viewers that are around today, but if you have the brain power and patience...this series will deliver.

I would say this series was advertised in the wrong way...there is very little action, and when there is, it is short. Don't let that put you off however, you must watch this as if your life depends on it. Keep an open mind. =]
