Zentrix
Synopsis
The series is set in Zentrix City, a seemingly "perfect" city. Emperor Jarad is a scientist who with the help of scientists Dr. Roark and Dr. Coy, created a super-computer called OmnicronPsy, which manages all of the city's higher and day-to-day functions, controlling a wide variety of machines and robots, allowing humankind to live a seemingly "perfect" life. However OmnicronPsy, using His super-intelligence, decides that it would make a better ruler than Jarad, and starts to break down the coding that stops him from revolting and harming the Royal Family. Discovering this, Jarad and Dr. Roark head back in time 7 years to stop the revolt from ever happening. To accomplish this they plan to shut down the six Zentrium chips that power OmnicronPsy. Upon discovering this, Jarad's daughter and only heir, Princess Megan, proceeds to follow him to the past while OmnicronPsy concurrently undoes his restriction codes and sends his Robo Guards to hunt her down.
Audience Consensus
The anime is generally well-received, especially for newcomers. However, the English dub and changes made for Western audiences are significant drawbacks. The series is considered straightforward and enjoyable, but lacks depth in its English version, potentially limiting its appeal to seasoned anime viewers.
Strengths
- Good storyline, intriguing plot.
- Very good animation, impressive for a Chinese anime.
Weaknesses
- English dub is ropey and of poor quality.
- Characters lack in-depth detail (in English version).
- Westernized opening/ending theme detracts from the series' feel.
