Texhnolyze

Synopsis: In a dystopian future, the underground world of Lux is a cauldron of violence and despair, dominated by rival gangs who feed off the trade in a rare substance called raffia, vital for "texhnolyze" procedures, through which humans replace parts of their bodies with cybernetic prostheses. At the center of this chaos, Ichise, a former boxer disfigured by Organo's forces, and Ran, a young florist with the ability to predict the future, find themselves entwined in a power struggle that threatens to destabilize the city's already fragile order. With the arrival of Kazuho Yoshii, who starts a crime wave that exacerbates the rivalry between the factions, Lux's fate becomes increasingly uncertain, forcing its inhabitants to confront both their own limitations and the consequences of a world immersed in technology and despair.
