Summary:


It's the year 2072, and the late Nikola Tesla's dream of a 'World System' of electricity is starting to take shape. Batteries and cords are long forgotten after a fourth plane of existence is found. From that dimension a seemingly infinite source of energy exists, with cross-dimensional inductors known as "coils" being used to extract it. However, some coils are modified for illegal purposes, which is where our protagonist, Mabuchi Kyouma (Ono Daisuke) comes in. Kyouma is a man with a passion for the 'vintage' gas-powered cars of the past, lives in the slums, and hates coils; working as a recovery man, he hunts down those misusing coils for destructive purposes. While on one of his missions in the grimy underbelly of this metropolitan future, he comes across a captive girl, Yurizaki Mira (Ueda Reina), a humanoid android made by the wife of the developer of the coil technology. With the disappearance of her renowned father, Mira and Kyouma form a reluctant partnership and end up working together to recover all the illegal coils across the city.


Own opinion:


I really wanted to read the manga but since I promise myself that I wouldn't I'll watch this show knowing nothing. But I found out that this anime was originally announced in Anime Expo 2015 in Los Angeles. That means they bound to appeal a wolrdwide audience. If you're craving a sci-fi series (like me) that focuses on the ugly side of technological advancement, deals with the relationship between humans and androids, and has plenty of polished action sequences, then Dimension W will be worth checking out.
