Sypnosis:
Following an apocalyptic Third World War, the strict government of the dystopian city-state Libria has eliminated war by suppressing all human emotion. In the monochromatic and sedate society, artifacts from the old world are destroyed and the population is required to use sedatory drugs. Grammaton Cleric Preston, a man trained to locate and arrest those guilty of feeling emotions, finds himself abandoning the drug and experiencing outlawed feelings. As he struggles to contain his feelings from his superiors, colleagues, and family, Preston finds himself drawn into a sinister world of double-crossings and lies, and becomes an unwitting pawn in a sophisticated plot which ultimately changes the repressed society forever.

My thoughts:
Not a bad show overall. The action sequences is quite impressive - Gun Kata reminds me of "tai ji quan" (太极拳)with firearms drill. :D but the main protangonist, John Preston, is a bit quirky. Can shoot people dead without blinking an eye, but would not harm a puppy. Another bleak look at the future. The ending is also not very satisfying. Chaos reigns, and the main character smiles. What gives? Still, it's a watchable show...
