Altered Carbon: Resleeved is a cyberpunk anime film that incorporates many classic elements of the science fiction genre, such as advanced technology, body-swapping, and a dystopian future setting. Typical genre features include high-tech gadgets, a noir-inspired narrative involving crime and investigation, and themes exploring consciousness and identity. What makes it stand out from other sci-fi titles is its blend of anime aesthetics with a complex story that delves into the concept of immortality through resleeving—transferring consciousness to new bodies. Additionally, its setting on the planet Latimer introduces unique cultural influences, such as yakuza crime families, which provide a fresh take on the cyberpunk genre's usual urban backdrops. The characters, including Takeshi Kovacs (voiced by Tatsuhisa Suzuki) and Gina (Leilin Kawahara, voiced by Rina Sato), further enrich the narrative with their intricate personal dynamics and action-driven roles.
