Madhouse's notoriously bleak and philosophical cyberpunk series Texhnolyze has arrived on Crunchyroll, complete with an English dub. The 22-episode series, which originally aired in Spring 2003, follows Ichise, a young man who loses limbs in a brutal fight and is fitted with advanced prosthetics in the decaying, subterranean city of Lux.
Texhnolyze is a challenging watch, delving into themes of transhumanism, existentialism, and societal collapse within a gritty, noir-infused atmosphere. Its deliberate pacing and stark visual style, coupled with a focus on philosophical dialogue over action, have earned it a dedicated cult following and a 7.76 rating on MyAnimeList from over 64,000 voters.
With the entire series available, this avant-garde sci-fi drama offers a unique, often unsettling, dive into a dystopian future. Its availability on Crunchyroll makes it accessible for viewers seeking something beyond typical anime fare.
