Altered Carbon: Resleeved

Season 1 of Netflix's Altered Carbon was good. Season 2 not so much. This stand-alone anime is set in between the two seasons. I'm happy to have more of Takeshi Kovac, but this animation is just so-so.

Good: Very nice CG animation. It's well-done and beautiful to look at. The actions are somewhat average, however, in terms of excitement or originality.

Bad: Cliche story. A bit boring. Half way through I kind of guessed the ending. Not much character development. Not much of a mystery either, it turns out.

Again, the story of eternal life. The colorful and brutal action in Yakuza world is impressive.

The story was pretty straight forward. It did not had twist and turn which made us fan of Altered Carbon Series. Overall, there was nothing in particular altered carbon about it.

I would give 8 stars for the animations, but 4 or less to the story.

Definitely much better than the Season 2 of the Altered Carbon series. First off, the animation is beautiful, it looks like a combination of 2D and 3D animation and the colors just pop out.

The thriller aspect is easy to follow, and the action scenes are stylish with amazing viewpoints, and they are also relatively violently graphic. My complaint though is that there some obvious holes in the plot, and the technology seems a bit outdated.

When Altered Carbon was written in the early 2000s, Cloud Storage was almost unknown, not as common as it is now so they should've incorporated that into script. Still good enough to watch overall.

The action choreography is OK-ish, but the characters are either boring or annoying. The CGI animation is soulless and feels more like watching someone play Grand Theft Auto than a movie. Everyone hated AC season 2 for a reason and this animation is just as bad.
