I don't get the hate this Anime gets.
Yes it's a mediocre Anime. But it's a good one with it's uniqueness and story.
Here's some positives and negatives of the Anime:
Negatives:
Main character (Don't know if there's anything positive about him other than his wish wanting to live with AI🫠)
Recaps (short anime's like these doesn't need recaps)
Experience (some might find the anime a bit boring as most of the anime is build-up for final episodes. Which is also probably why the Anime isn't popular. But i swear it gets better 🥲)
Others: Personally i don't get the other negatives people pointed out or even the 3 major i wrote. To me they just seem relative to the plot.(Other than the MC he's useless)
Positives: Good Animation
Unique Story
Great Side characters
Incredible Female MC to com…

Very underrated anime, the concept behind it is very overlooked by many and the story is actually quite emotional and tear jerking in my opinion. I highly disagree with the low rating this anime overall has. The story is really unique in its own way and doesnt really feel like it is comparable to something other i have seen. The art style is really well done and gives a certain dystopian/realistic feeling to it together with emptiness and also a really interresting emotion that folds with the way the story goes. I think again this anime is wrongly hated and looked down on because of some expectations some viewers may have had.

My teenage brother begged me to watch this so I spent a weekend marathoning it to make him happy and....my God, this was bad. Like really bad. There are a FEW interesting ideas in here like the legal and moral issues of AI not being able to take responsibility for their decisions, the effect on the worldwide economy as human labor becomes obsolete and a few others but they do nothing to make up for how much of a trainwreck this story is. The characters are boring, the villains are wildly inconsistent and the story makes little to no sense.
The first episode was handled adequately enough that I came into this anime with moderate expectations but it was all downhill from there.

You ever scroll down your anime list and your eyes catch on to a show that you remember watching but don't remember the story off? Beatless is that kind of show for me.
Boy meets girl story with some action thrown in to spice things up and get the story moving, problem is the story is... dull and boring. I even somehow got this show mixed up in my head with guilty crown once because of how much this show does not stand out for me. What makes a show good is when they can create moments where viewers can feel at awe or amazed, moments where the audience gets drawn in and for even a second forget their soundings and get drowned by the art, sound, and characters in front of them.
Beatless, does not do these kinds of things for me personally.
Story - 4/10
Art - 5/10 Mediocre. Visually appeali…

This is a small review, to make you understand (more or less) if you should watch this particular anime. Rest assured, I will keep out as much stuff from the story as possible, so that I don't ruin the experience. So, let's begin.
I personally would recommend this anime to people who want a story with a small amount of everything - drama, comedy, action, sci-fi, romance and bunch of other things too. It's well evened out and you can feel that there is a lot of time and effort put into this, but there is a problem, that I was having while watching this and that is stretching the story too much, so if you want to watch this, note that it's not as emotionally and action packed as some anime. But just because the story stretched out, doesn't mean that it is a bad one, quite frankly I liked th…

This review includes the final stage of this series. First of all i'm reluctant to watch this Anime due to its low scores and some bad reviews however because i'm a fan of AI/Machine i still give it a shot because of its synopsis.
Story: The story was all about artificial intelligent, which is great since we all know that the world is moving towards the directions of AI/Machine Learning/Cloud Computing and etc. Now for the story. The story was really unique in my own opinion; while this might not be the first anime to cover about AI, it's the only Anime i personally see which was able to tell its purpose to its viewers, of how corrupt humans can be in order to gained power in society. The Anime was also able to sent its message that sooner or later manual labor will cease to exist as mach…

Beatless it starts good then we get some problems. Some guy in anitnetwork thing helps his friend then he himself gets into a terrorist attack from an ai robot. There are 5 ai robots loose season 1, 4 are found and have owners, maybe next season has the other one found. This anime makes the robots as objects ( plain robots), main character makes them as more where you can love them like any other person, One guy makes it where you can just f it. Antinetwork just want to destroy it and memeframe makes them. Lacia waifu doing fashion. Some rapey rape rape also in anime. Just get one of the ai robots and just rape it was like an innuendo in the anime or was it just me.
Kahru says beatless is a parody anime from ghost in the shell and is a masterpiece. I haven't watched ghost in the shell,…

Havent seen the original material (LN/Manga), so you can cut me some slack.
Lets start with the good points.
Art - 6:
Its not really bad to be honest, it has some low quality productions, where you can see lots of still frames, or recycled ones, but overall its fair. The opening is where it shines the most, and some fight scenes.
Sound - 6: It has decent sound tracks across the series, especially on few notable moments, during fights or in the last episode. Opening track is good, ending is good (although, not on my tastes). Have heard lots of recycled sounds though. Voice acting seems good enough to not annoy at least.
From here on, its only downhill.
Story - 4:
The idea is good on paper. I mean, humanity has advanced enough, to develop AI. The AIs are tasked with the development o…

well this story is something different, sci-fi with romance but in this way never thought this is even possible for human to love android, well of-course its possible if a human can understand a human than what the problem with a android.
i don't know how many people watched this anime and how many of them able to understand it, well its same goes for me, i just like to clear it, i also didn't understood this anime completely but whatever i understood, its my view.
(to use "machine" word, in my view it like im disrespecting the android in this anime and using the "he" and "she" instead of "It")
the story was little complicated and was hard to understand until you focus well i think not the story but explanation in anime, well i tried my hard to understand this on…

Beatless is not about robo bitches (or mechanical waifus) but about Brainless studio, writers and artists.
If you love tasteless fan service with lame characters and unbearable plot, this crap is for you.
But I won't give a 0/10 but instead aq 5/10 because this anime helped me learn a lot:
1-Even the guy that directed the first FMA can make absolute CRAP
2-Diomedea is CANCER
3-An anime can be dropped when the plot gets interesting (because it is plain retard)
But it was not meant to be bad. Even if not original, and even if the execution failed miserably, the story is compelling, should have been at least enjoyable, but it was not.
What went wrong? Lazy 2nd key and in between animation, a lot of argument mistakes of continuity and plot writing, very poor script and very lame characters…

This show had so much potential. For those of you who watched Chobits in the past you will find the premise and story-line eerily familiar minus the awkward innuendo's every 3 minutes. The character artwork for the female characters is bright and vivid. That alone is what stood out for me. The story line as of episode 20 is somewhat unclear and rather like a lost puppy looking for what it wants to be. With a second season finale otw. I am hopeful the show may yet be saved.
The MC: is your average MC... spineless, indecisive, and at times lacking common sense
The Imouto: I didn't mind so much as I get the feeling her character is the comic relief you need to keep you from asking why your still watching this show
The Heroine: Is a mixed bag. drawn to be extremely attractive(success IMO) how…

Overall: 6
This anime falls solidly under the category of "good but not that good." Its best attribute was its conceptual basis: the battle between both AI and humans with different ideas for their future. However the execution was pretty lackluster, with terrible pacing at times and a number of scenes that just fell flat.
Story: 7
The concepts here aren't new or unique in any way; Chobits explored the issue of human-AI relationships over a decade and a half ago, and more recently a similar conflict was explored in Detroit: Become Human. However, Beatless combines this human-robot identity crisis with political and social issues to spin a much more complex and nuanced web of clashing ideals. Instead of the usual dichotomous pro- and anti-bot factions duking it out, we get seven different…

In short:
There are elements of genius in this anime, but it isn't well executed for most people's expectations of anime. It's worth watching and especially so for individuals that like to think about our future as a society and the problems we are going to face.
More:
You watch this anime for it's ideas mostly, anything else surrounding those ideas isn't so good.
The anime is about the dilemma we face concerning our future with robots and AI, it uses unique ideas since most anime like this have one super AI trying to take over, where this one lets AI battle themselves and it makes for a more interesting story-backbone overall.
You'll definitely get triggered and ask yourself why they didn't just kill that person, and according to some abilities of the characters this whole story could'…

Themes in a story are usually best when they're simple. A clear-cut message delivered to the audience does much better because this way, there's little reason for the quality of the story to be sacrificed in exchange for more complicated hullabaloo that for some reasons, some people believe is 'good writing'. All of that ironically comes in the form of the one word title of 'Beatless', where more than just a few 'beats' are missing when it comes to this one.
Story:
Beatless takes place in a version of the future where artificial intelligence units known as hIe's have become commonplace in society, working smaller jobs and more dangerous jobs, slowly encroaching their foothold in the world as everything becomes more and more automated. It's here where our main protagonist, Arato Endo,…

Anyone said Darling in the Franxx, some Tokyo Ghoul season 2, some Boku Hero 3, or some Tada-kun,... but with me Beatless is the best!! With OP1 sung by Garnidelia, most dancing inspiration band, OP2 sung by TrySail, cutest singer of Jpop, ED1 sung by ClariS, my best Jpop couple singer and ED2 sung by Tokyo Performance Band, feel like under an area live, only the appearance of these four performs has made me confirm myself this is the best anime of two season XD
Despite the fact that a lot problems while airing this anime, delay,... bad reviews,... I will still marked this as my best anime ever due to the OST

Jesus Christ this was a trash fire. Beatless is about the journey of a high school aged boy named Arato. Arato’s world takes place in the far future, where hyper realistic robots are common and prevalent. These robots are called hIE’s, and they’ve integrated themselves into normal life as servants. Arato treats these hIE’s as equals, falling in love with them at times. One night, Arato encounters an odd looking, powerful, hyper intelligent AI hIE holding a coffin that saves him from a car hacked to target humans. In exchange for saving him the hIE asks him to become her owner. As her owner, Arato is responsible for everything that she does. Therefore, he has to deal with those related to and enemy of his new hIE, named Lacia.
Now, that synopsis doesn’t sound that bad, but trust me when I s…

To be perfectly honest LA was drawn to Beatless because of Nao Touyama...
In a more serious note Beatless along with Toji no Miko had some of the shakiest pacing in animes from 2018, but Beatless didn't suffer from pacing issues...Beatless suffered from constant delays.
The thing is Beatless had ALOT of potential to be a good sci-fi anime though with it's very typical "meet cute" premise at the start with it's main character of Arato Endou voiced by Takuto Yoshinaga meeting the hIE Lacia voiced by the aforementioned Nao Touyama, Beatless was MUCH more than that and really disguising that starting premise into an introspective look at technology, AI, human fears of technology and societal pressures to conformity because of it in some sense as well. But these interesting elements takes som…

What is a recap episode?
Recap episodes are the stuff that the creators put in because they either don’t have enough material to adapt further arcs of set anime or they want to have newcomers who are interested of watching set series to catch up. Unless you are a long-running anime that has 50+ episodes I find the recap episodes to be pointless and lazy because honestly why would you watch 20-minute clip show that summaries a couple of story arcs that very often leave out important stuff when you can easily go watch actual episodes themselves.
What does this have to do with Beatless?
Beatless is a perfect example of how to not run a producing schedule. The reason I'm saying this right out of the gate because if Beatless was done by any other studio it would have been function-able but…

Back when I started the show as it aired on January 13 I liked Beatless. It had coloured me with joy and anticipation since it's first episode went so well. Compared to the other anime I started at the time, it felt like it could do a lot with it's premise. Tut Tut. It went out like a light for the whole first half and took a while to set itself on track, and unfortunately not the same track as I felt in episode 1, but hey, it had a direction, so that's already better than FranXX.
Having said that, Beatless is far from perfect, despite throwing around it's ideology that robots do not make mistakes (and proving that wrong afterwards) it felt unnatural to see such robots (or hiEs if you may). The plot just kept on throwing random stuff at my face, sometimes Lacia is an idol taken straight…

For many years people have thought and dreamt about the future of technology especially when it came to A.I. and robot, and what such things could possibly lead to. It is a topic that has been talked about in almost every medium from live action movies such as “Ex Machina” and “Her”, written stories such as “Dream of Electric Sheep” and “Have No Mouth but Must Scream”, video games like “Neir” and “Detroit”, and even other anime such as “Ghost in The Shell” and “time of eve”. This is by no means a comparison of other works, but rather that the topic has been expounded upon multiple times and multiple directions. Now enter this anime that is about finding essence within the material especially the sentient kind, and whether something like that can have a “heart” without having a heart and th…
