Dimension W...

I happened to catch a handful of episodes on Cartoon Network and Dimension W seemed like something I should look into owning...
In the near future, devices known as coils, harness the power of another dimension. Seeking illegal coils, bounty hunter Kyoma Mabuchi spends his days resisting the use of dimensional energy. That is, until a very realistic and adorable robot, Mira, gets mixed up in things. Partnering with the reluctant Kyoma on his missions, together they uncover the truth behind the mysterious power.
Recently, I took the opportunity to watch Dimension W. The series starts out with our two heroes, Kyoma and Mira, in a somewhat adversarial relationship, but, events quickly conspire against our heroes to force then into a working relationship. I have a soft spot for grumpy, gruff male characters and, of course, Mira, with mechanical headgear and what appears to be an extension cord protruding from her rear end, could almost pass for a cat-girl. And, we all know that I also have a soft spot for cat-girls. So, I just knew that I was going to enjoy Dimension W.

In Dimension W, Kyoma has some amazing athletic abilities and an aversion to using coil technology which forces him to use a gas-powered car in a world where vehicles are powered by coils. Kyoma spends much of his time hunting down and recovering illegal coils. Mira is a somewhat more-than-average service robot who finds herself working with Kyoma. Although, Mira is a robot, she is very expressive and, much to Kyoma's dismay, Mira can even cry. Kyoma often refers to Mira as "piece of junk".

There is some violence and a lot of action in the series, but, surprisingly, Dimension W does not exhibit much red ink. There are no naughty bits to speak of. Overall, although the series has some technical jargon and the latter episodes delve into territory that requires an extraordinary level of suspension of disbelief, Dimension W was a fairly action-packed adventure and was very entertaining. I would give Dimension W a 3 out of 5.
