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. He is then accidentally run over by a truck, and dies.16 years later, special policewoman Minami Uezono and her android partner Alma 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 is a sci-fi seinen manga series written by HiRock and illustrated by Shinya Komi, which ran from 2015 to 2019, starting in Grand Jump before moving to Shonen Jump+ in 2017; it is a remake of Komi's previous series, Ex-Vita, which ran in Miracle Jump from 2011 to 2013. A Sequel Series, EX-ARM EXA, began running in 2019 in Grand Jump Mucha. The series also received an anime adaptation thanks to Crunchyroll, who produced it as a Crunchyroll original. It's an All-CGI Cartoon (for the most part) and was released on January 11, 2021.The manga was rather abruptly declared cancelled by its publisher, Shueisha, in March 2021, only 10 chapters into EX-ARM EXA. | |

Artifact of Doom: The titular EX-ARM are cybernetic weapons that are too advanced even for 2030. The police has a dedicated squad to collect and dispose of them before they are used for terrorism. EX-ARM 11 is especially recognizable among criminal circles as the one that threw Japan into chaos. | |

Ambiguously Evil: The Auctioneer does a lot of shady stuff in the background, somehow got his hands on the infamous EX-ARM 11 and turned multiple criminal groups to fight the police. No wonder Akira assumes he is Beta. In reality he did this to gather the rest of EX-ARM users in one place and make them dispose of each other, Beta included, he never intended to give the 11 away. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| EX-ARM (Manga) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Sometimes the animation of the anime will get so incomprehensible, it forgets characters outright. Notably in the last minute of the first episode when the police pin the Akira-possessed Alma down, Minami just flat out disappears without any explanation or even visual confirmation as to whether or not she also got apprehended. See the Karma Houdini entry above for another example. | |

Kissing Discretion Shot: 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. | |

Painted CGI: A very strange example: The main characters and backgrounds are in Cel Shaded CGI with outlines drawn on, while minor characters are traditionally 2D animated. Many special effects are flat GIFs or drawn on after the fact, though the animation is so disjointed that it's hard to tell if this is a style or a Special Effects Failure. | |

Bowdlerization: Compared to the manga (which had several moments of nudity (particularly of breasts), and many more sexual moments), the anime is much less sexual, either not featuring the moments at all (such as EX-ARM 08's owner stripping down and fondling Minami when he captured her), or censoring them drastically (Alma and Akira being nude in the latter's subconscious has the smoke cloud going up to their shoulders in the anime) | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| EX-ARM (Manga) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: As mentioned above in Bowdlerization, in comparison to the manga which has several perverted and violent moments, the anime is much more tame as it either excludes or heavily censors these moments. | |

Mistaken for Terrorist: The police keeps a close eye on Akira because of the attack that happened in 2020. Him looking exactly like the perpetrator and being an amnesiac makes the concerns reasonable. | |
