''notable'', in that the main staff had no prior experience producing anime, instead having worked primarily in live-action film. It was thought that their experience in fight choreography would go hand-in-hand with an action-heavy series. [[TroubledProduction Things didn't go according to plan.]] See the poster above?

In 2014, Akira Natsume seems to almost have a phobia of electrical devices while also being very good at diagnosing them. He resolves to change himself for the better and get a girlfriend like his older brother did. But then, Akira suddenly dies in an accident. 16 years later a special policewoman and her android partner retrieve and activate a highly advanced AI and superweapon called EX-ARM and put it into full control of their ship as a last resort. Turns out the AI is actually just Akira's brain.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: Compared to the manga (which had several moments of nudity (particularly with breasts), and many more perverse moments), the anime is much less perverse, either not featuring the moments at all (such as EX-ARM 08's owner stripping down and fondling Minami when he captured her), or censoring them drastically (Alma and Akira being nude in the latter's subconscious has the smoke cloud going up to their shoulders in the anime)

* OffModel: To say the 2D animation that the CGI is paired up with is any better would be not entirely accurate; as the 2D characters seem to have no actual model sheets to work off of, and appear to morph into slightly different appearances in each scene they're in. Plus they're a poor match to the designs of the 3D-animated characters.
