"Vexille"
Stunning CG Anime that utilises a varied soundtrack (everything from 'Dead can Dance' to 'The Prodigy') to great effect and combines it with some great aural FX to create a stunning soundscape that matches the stunning visuals perfectly.
Most importantly though it has an engaging, emotional, exciting, action packed plot and storyline that mixes bits of "Star Wars", with "Bladerunner", "AI", "Dune" post apocalypse flicks and good old slam bang Mecha to create an utterly satisfying experience.
Only negative is a small one.
And that it's a shame a multi-lingual audio track, that's mostly in Japanese with subtitles but flips to English when American characters, in America, are speaking to each other, was utilised.
It's a bit weird to have an explicitly American vs Japan plot set-up with everyone speaking Japanese, even when in America with no Japanese around.
It jars with the actual Japanese characters speaking to each other.
But that's a small thing in an otherwise stunning Sci-Fi Anime that plays out as well as it looks and sounds.
