Post-apocalyptic cyberpunk with some detective noir inspiration. Visually excellent, dark and gritty. Starts strongly but tries too hard to be cerebral. Too slow and bloated.

Anime ● Review: Godzilla Singular Point
Original take. Basically a sci-fi mystery, which is fine in itself except it drags. Serious lack of Godzilla action. Wasted opportunity.
