The series now has an anime thanks to {{Website/Crunchyroll}}, who are producing it as a Crunchyroll original. It's an AllCGICartoon (for the most part) and was released on January 11, 2021.

* 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.

It's absolutely not a "bold move". It's really just an inversion of Two D Visuals Three D Effects, as well as a clear indication that they didn't have the time and/or budget to render all of the characters in CG.

The series now has an anime thanks to {{Website/Crunchyroll}}, who are producing it as a Crunchyroll original. It's an AllCGICartoon (for the most part) and was released on January 11, 2021. Notably, the main staff hasn't had experience making anime before. Instead, the main staff has worked in live-action action films, with the hopes that their experience on choreography would go hand-in-hand with an action-heavy series. See the poster above? [[CoversAlwaysLie Promotional The final product looks nothing like it.]]

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.
Now reduced to a small machine, Akira works with the police to fight crime in Tokyo. This puts him in the conflict of several other EX-ARM users. Luckily, his new body grants him many new abilities, such as hacking into cameras and watching the entire city, or take over Alma's body to fight directly.

!!''EX-ARM'' provides examples of:
* TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: Inverted. The show is CGI, but some characters are 2D, and some effects seem to be 2D gifs played over the 3D visuals.
* EyeCatch: Featuring the characters drawn in
* GenreShift: One episode, set in a dream world, is a parody of slife-of-life highschool anime.
* KissingDiscretionShot: Kisses between Minami and Alma are censored with a random ray of light. This is most likely done because there's no animation of their models kissing, and pressing them together would just show them clipping through each other.
* MediumBlending: Some characters are 2D, while others are CGI.
