The anime is a gripping and intriguing watch, with a lot of action and mystery. The main appeal of the show is the plot and the characters, as they face various challenges and enemies on Mars.

Some of the scenes and situations are violent and graphic, and some of the themes and messages are dark and controversial. The anime also does not explain much of the world or the technology, and it leaves some questions unanswered.

Overall, Chained Soldier is an exciting and impressive anime that offers a lot of thrill and emotion. It is a great adaptation of the manga and a remarkable work by Bones, a renowned studio known for its action scenes. It will please the fans of the genre and the original source.
