Strapped to an operating table, Qianwu wakes restrained and reeling, with memories he's not supposed to have. He was Xunlang, one of the first genetically engineered super soldiers built by the shadowy S organization to reshape the world order. But a botched experiment cracks through the mental conditioning, and suddenly he remembers a name, a life, a family that was taken from him. Naturally, the organization wants their weapon back. This 9-episode ONA from Nice Boat Animation and Ai Si Animation Studio drops you into a near-future setting where genetic modification isn't just science: it's a power system with real consequences. The action hits hard when it needs to, but what actually makes Gu Xiong stick is the quieter stuff in between. Qianwu wandering through a world he half-remembers, trying to find people who might not even recognize him anymore. There's a wholesome undercurrent beneath all the chase sequences and fight choreography that caught me off guard. The animation style is interesting too; it blends traditional and digital techniques in a way that gives everything a slightly surreal atmosphere, backed by a soundtrack that knows when to pull back and let a scene breathe. If you liked the identity crises and dystopian tension of Psycho-Pass or the moody existential wandering in Ergo Proxy, this scratches a similar itch but in a more compact package. Texhnolyze fans will appreciate the atmosphere. It's only nine episodes, so it doesn't waste your time getting where it's going.

elisha_tea★★★★★VerifiedEP 9I love how we were able to get Qian Wu's backstory and showed how simple his life was before being taken by the S organization its truly unfortunate how both siblings were taken from each other. I did not expect Xue Lang to do that at the end, this episode was a true cliffhanger.
