Overall Rating 6.5 out of 10 - Other than overly cluttered plot at times, it is a good show.
I recommend watching.
This is a rather simple (by my standards, that means requires a reasonable amount of intelligence to understand) show that explores further on the ideas introduced in Ghost in the Shell.
Compare to Ghost in the Shell ID-0 is exploring the world where boundaries between biological and technological are blurred. This one is particularly focused on shells, or i-machines as the called them in this show. Some characters there still have physical bodies, some have lost them, others possibly never had them to begin with. None of them however think too deep about any of that. They just live with it like it is nothing special and just pursue their hobbies and passions like normal people.
It is a world where artificial body concept was completely normalized and society explores untapped possibilities that this tech could bring, such as mining orichalcum across the universe. i-machines do not replicate human body to be human like. Instead, they are bigger than human body and allow users to do more and better compare to a normal human body. They are customizable to individual teste too. You can use different models as well, switch between them at will. This does open a lot of possibilities.
On its own story has somewhat interesting premise, but not that much more. World of this show somewhat curious but rather hollow. Conclusion is somewhat anticlimactic and underwhelming.
Because of these flaws I gave it 6 instead of 7. But I can still recommend it to watch. It is better than many other shows.
I double recommend it to people who enjoyed GitS and SEL. That is about post-transformation world, kind of.
