Jeez, the book by Dick has little to do with 'Blade Runner' if you go by what is 'allowed'. There's only been 2 episodes so far and I am gonna watch the third for sure (as will everyone of the people downvoting it on here 18 of 20 reviews, ha). It's a little predictable I'm thinking It's going along the lines of 'Westworld', but I'm gonna see if there's a twist or some more story lines. The animation is fine and rich and well done and interesting and it is what it is, I find the fight scenes to be great and they do have a 'computer game feel' but also a realism, which I think looks mint. All animation should have it's own feel, and this does. It's got the replicants it's got the masive billboard lady. It's got the rainy neon noodle bar, there'll be some arigami at some point I hope. If this was even remotely bad I wouldn't be happily anticipating the next episiode. Arigat0 Adult Swim.
A young female who has amnesia and deadly combat skills tries to find out if she is a replicant or not.
Set in 2032, between Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982) and Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049 (2017), Blade Runner, Black Lotus is intriguing brought to life with CGI animation and some decent voice acting. The soundtrack and sound design deserves a mention capturing the Blade Runner vibe. For fans a few familiar characters from the Blade Runner universe appear.
Directed by Shinji Aramaki and Kenji Kamiyama offer some well staged action, stunning visuals and backdrops. The animators capture the futuristic urban, gritty, environments impressively but the characters are less impressive and the computer game-like animation takes you out of the moment (reminiscent of the later CG-animated Resident Evil feature length films).
Overall, it's just a pity it wasn't live action or traditionally animated. Nevertheless, if you can get past the CGI style - you're in for a treat.

This is not a bad animation, some of the reviews on here are too harsh. The animation is pleasant and atmospheric, although the characters are a little stiff. The plot is well thought out and intriguing. I'll definitely watch t all.
Took a bit to get going but once it did it wounded up being pretty soild. Animation was good, the storyline was good too, acting wasnt bad. The action was really good. I hope to see more maybe another season leading up into the movie.
It is Los Angeles in the year 2032; Elle, a young woman, wakes up with no recollection of her past. An early confrontation shows that she is highly proficient in martial arts and other combat skills. She sets about finding out who she is; once she has learnt enough she sets about getting revenge on those who abused her and those like her.
I know a lot of people were disappointed by this but I really liked it. I thought it nicely captured the feel of the Blade Runner films. At first I was unsure about the 3D animation but once the action started I thought it was great. Some may say the characters could be more realistic; I'm not so sure... the closer animated characters come to looking human the more one wonders why it isn't live action. Elle is a fine central character, even if her big twist which is revealed very early on, will be obvious to most viewers. The story moves at a decent pace. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of 'Blade Runner' or animated sci-fi action in general... at least give it a go; if you don't like it you can always drop it.
