Come and save me

This blog probably isn't as exciting as the title suggests.I just wanted to write a quick blog about an anime I've been watching with Anime Society at University.
I'll start off by describing what a confusing anime it is. I missed a week or two of society, and it's taken a while to understand the story again...well as much as I can :P.
It's a kind sci-fi anime, which I thought would put me off, as I am sooo not into sci-fi, but oh my god, the art! It's just so well drawn, not your typical eyes-that-take-up-half-the-face and silly-side-charcters anime, it's actually very serious, but in a good way!
Anyway, storyline! It's kinda of...post-apocalyptic in a way. Baisically, it's mainly set in this big city called Romdo, which is inside this big dome. There is life outside the dome too, but it's all desolate, like after a disaster. Anyway, in this dome, humans have android (AutoReivs) servants, I guess you'd call them (it's all very confusing). Anyway, a virus (cogito) which causes beserk robots to commit murders threatens this very well ordered society.
The main characters are a girl called Lil (Real, Re-L, Rielle, you know, Japanese pronounciation of the letter 'R' and all that) Mayer, who is assigned to investigate these murders, and an immigrant called Vincent Law (Both pictured in pic at the top). There's also the adorable autoreiv called Pino, who was created as a surrogate child to a human couple.
However you're going to have to watch it to get more of the storyline. As confusing and strange as this anime is, I completely recommend it, even if you do just to appreciate the art.
Actually, even just for the opening music, watch it! Tell me what you think of the opening! (It's just below, no excuses :P)
