The News Team's GWOtaku has a new review on the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:
"For fans of sci-fi and those craving breakthroughs for adult-oriented and global 2D animation, the hype is justified. Mars Express is a true cyberpunk thriller following in the tradition of such landmarks as Ghost in the Shell and Blade Runner. It’s an unmistakable triumph for French director and co-writer Jérémie Périn (Lastman) depicting a mystery in a radical future that nonetheless feels as if it’s as lived in and true as any down-to-Earth real-world setting one would care to name.
At the dawn of the 23rd century humanity has expanded well beyond Earth to exist in self-contained cities on Mars and elsewhere in outer space, and advancements in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence correspond to that expansion. Robots of many shapes and sizes live and work alongside humans in ways indistinguishable from a regular person, and many of them appear human. Humans can network with each other and carry on entire group conversations with only thought, and it’s apparently even possible for a person to “backup” their personality into a robot brain and body that will then behave in a way indistinguishable from the original. The robots are still constrained by a set of directives inspired by Isaac Asimov’s three laws of robotics and a voice command can turn them off, but despite that the line distinguishing robots from humans is very blurred and thin here."
