I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This anime is really fun and cool, and if you like your anime with some sci-fi, a mysterious hero and some very silly moments and humor, "Dimension W" is for you.We have the typical hero that has a secret and, even if he doesn't want to, has to join forces with another character. In this case, our hero is a 'collector', a person that tries to recover illegal components that use energy from the 'dimension W', a dimension that has helped humanity to get an endless supply of energy. He is old style and doesn't like the use of the components that let humanity tap into the dimension W. Not very deep sci-fi, that's true. At the very beginning of the anime he gets involved with a robot, the creation of the man that found the dimension W and the robot (with the typical character and looks of a young girl, something too typical in some kind of Japanese anime) decides to stay with him.From that moment one we get our hero, Kyoma, getting his missions and the robot Mira helping him. The model is one mission per episode. Around the half of the series we get into the big arc of the show that will last till the end of the anime.The first part is lots of fun, with cool characters, great rhythm and funny plots, with some silly humor thrown into it. The second part is darker, the plot gets a little bit messy and is more into 'big fights' but it is still really interesting and fun. Not very demanding, but always fun.The animation is really cool, even if there are a couple of moments where the quality is not great. It does a great job in making the viewer feel involved in this world and characters, with a very stylized look and a nice use of color. Perfect for this type of series. And the music is just plain great.P.S.: I haven't watched the OVA, so this review is just for the anime series.

~At the time of writing this the OVA has yet to air so this is only about episodes 1-12~ My very first impression after finishing episode 1 was, "very typical shounen, nothing special show". To be completely honest, if this show wasn't airing on "Toonami" I probably wouldn't have ever watched it/continued watching it. I'm glad to say that after episode 5/6 or so it began peeking my interest a bit more, enough that I actually wanted to watch more of it. Now the story is very original and a bit down right confusing during the show. The world discovered a new dimension, they named it "dimension W". They found a way to harness the energy from the dimension & turn it into a limitless energy supply for the entire world. Coils are what harnesses this power, the government distributes these. The main character hunts down illegal coils for money & goods. Now whats original about it? Everything now runs on this limitless energy, the possibilities are literally endless to what can be done. All the cities & everything have advanced so far, flying vehicles, robots, all types of stuff. Yet it still feels like not THAT far off into the future. The animation is pretty good, the artwork is really nice & all the character designs are pretty good looking. The music matched fine, nothing felt off or out of place. The op song is one of the most catchy/get me hyped songs I've ever heard from any anime, definitely one i'll remember. The English dub was done pretty well, I liked just about every character especially the two main ones. If your looking for something shounen, with your cool fights, explosions, "badass" main character then this is something you'll probably like. Also if your interested in the idea's of everything existing at the same time & limitless possibilities you'll probably enjoy this a bit too. As average as I found this show I have to say its original in its ideals & theories, that's the only reason I give it a 7.5/104/5 Why? Very typical shounen, action, explosions, "cool, dark" main character, etc. The animation was pretty good. Music matched fine, OP song was awesome an instant favorite. The story is really the only thing that saves this show, its very original (& has a lot of potential) in its concepts about possibilities, potential, energy, etc. If it sounds interesting, give it a watch you may enjoy it more than I.
