Ichise, an orphan turned prize fighter, loses a leg and an arm to satisfy an enraged fight promoter. On the brink of death he is taken in by a young female doctor and used as a guinea pig for the next evolution of Texhnolyze. With his new limbs, Ichise is eventually taken under the wing of Onishi, the powerful but untrusted leader of the Organo, an organization with some hold on the people of Lux. Meanwhile, four different factions begin to draw battlelines for territorial control of the city: The aforementioned Organo; The Union, a fiercely anti-Texhnolyze faction; The Racan, a group of rebellious Texhnolyzed youths; and the Class, a mysterious group of beings who lurk behind the city. As Ichise is unwillingly drawn deeper into an uncontrollable war, he learns of his possible future from the prophet girl Ran, who guides him from the shadows in his darkest times. With the explosion of warfare, Ichise must uncover the truth about Lux and fight for his survival. From the same team of people that made Serial Experiments Lain, Texhnolyze is considered one of the strangest and darkest anime ever made.
- Texhnolyze (テクノライズ, Tekunoraizu) is a Japanese anime television series directed by Hiroshi Hamasaki, from a screenplay by Chiaki Konaka, and produced by Yasuyuki Ueda, with original character design by Yoshitoshi ABe. The events take place in the vibrant yet dilapidated underground city of Lux. Denizens of Lux have come to call it "The City" and treat it as a sentient force. Three factions vie for control of the city: the Organo, a strictly professional conglomerate with ties to the criminal underworld in the prosthetics business ("Texhnolyze"); the Union, a fanatical populist group interfering with Organo's affairs; and Racan, a marauding group of Texhnolyzed youths. The series has an ensemble cast, but events particularly focus on Ichise, a stoic prize fighter who loses a leg and an arm to satisfy an enraged promoter; Onishi, a young but level-headed executive of the Organo who has many enemies; and Ran, a little girl who has a very important gift that affects the entire city. As they struggle to accept the challenges that they are dealt, the characters bear witness to major events that determine whether the city continues to exist. Texhnolyze aired on Fuji Television from April 16, 2003 to September 24 of the same year, totaling twenty episodes. Two "secret" episodes were included in the DVD release.
