Earth, 2147. The legacy of the Metal Wars, where man fought machines—and machines won. Bio-Dreads—I mean, The story takes place in Tokyo where much of the manual labor is done by robots called Boomers, which are run by a mega-corporation Genom-I mean; In Los Angeles, November 2019, retired police officer Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is detained by officer Gaff...
Okay so you get the idea, a one woman war against the machines that attacked us. Nothing new or innovative here. I like the art and style, but I dislike the fact that there it’s (insert protagonist) versus the machines, a plot used and abused throughout time. It's 11 episodes, but there seems to be only six episodes of material. And it moves as such, like they plotted out six episodes then got greenlit for 11. For what it is, it w…

This anime is both under-rated, and ove-rated. Under-rated for the story and characters, and over-rated for the superficial things, like being all 3-D CG.
My take on it, after watching all 11 episodes and waiting more than a month to let my emotions settle down, is that the characters and story are strong. Each episode reveals more and more about the story, and since they are only 11 minutes or so long, you can watch all of them "marathon style", but I would advise you not to do so.
Even though they are only 11 minutes long, each episode changes our assumptions and fills in more of the story. Unless you are very alert, you might not process all of the information which is revealed, and thus, think that you were never told important things.
Whilst not going into the details of the plot o…

Do you like action packed, explosive, shoot'em ups with characters trying to survive the world their in and destroy those who would do them harm? Then Karen Senki may be the anime for you. It's not a deep story, and there isn't a lot of character development. It is however, visualy appealing and features a band of unlikely heros doing their part for the common good. I wish it had more content, and I can see why many others dislike this anime. It's a fun story that in the end, left me wanting a little more. I enjoyed it for what it was, and I would consider watching it again in the future.

This is the most underrated anime I every seen.
I could be giving it to much praise but the unique aspects of the show I think it is deserving more then it gets on that alone.
Story and Setting:
It is Set in a future where machines have taken control of the world. Humans live in pocket societies with the machines but it is clear the machines are in charge.
The Story is told in a unique way that it tell two stories at the same time a past and present this is all in ten minute episodes so it can give you a lot of information in a short time. In the present story our protagonist Karen is fighting for ageist the Machines a lone while they in turn are hunt her. Some mysterious force has given Karen and most of are other supporting characters superpowers marking them with a symbol on their…

If The Terminator and The Matrix had a baby, that baby would be Karen Senki. But of course The Terminator and The Matrix are horrible parents so Karen Senki grows up to be a problem child. It decided to steal all of its parents material and burn it to the ground. With its never-ending use of action movie cliches (bullet time action sequences, explosions in the background with the hero walking away in slow-motion) Karen Senki is the epitome of ill-inspired action rip-offs. The story is totally unoriginal and the characters all seem like they were picked out of some other franchise. This show is so mind-numbingly dumb I can't understand how it managed to become anything more than a script.
The creators seem to work hard to load the show up with metaphors, symbolism, and philosophy, but then…

Fun anime to watch. As the episodes are 11 min long, perhaps 1/3 of the show time is used in story development and the rest to high action CGI battles. I think the slow story and character development left lots of folks in the dust. Too bad. Good show to binge watch!
