Set in a dismal future, where humans and autoraves ( autoreives) inhabit the dark City of Romdeau harmoniously.

But robots infected by Cogito virus (alters autorave programming granting them sense of awareness and free will) are causing series of murder incidents.  For the time being, the government is secretly operating an experiment on a humanoid called, ‘Proxy’, believed to hold the key of survival.

Re-l (”Real”, pronounced “Rielle”) Mayer, together with her autorave, Iggy are designated to investigate the murders.  They have confronted an infected AutoReiv and found out, it was a ‘Proxy’.

The 3d animation is of high definition quality giving the movements of the characters, particularly in battle scenes, that smooth, fluid moves. A lot of scenes involves bloody actions and violence, thus, not appropriate for young audiences.

Opening theme song:

Kiri by Monoral

*One of my personal favorite anime theme song
