Not Found is a thrilling action sci-fi anime series produced by J-Edge. The show follows the story of a young girl named Kasumi who wakes up one day without any memories of her past life. The only thing she remembers is her own name. As she sets out to discover who she is and where she comes from, she quickly learns that she possesses extraordinary abilities that make her a valuable target for various organizations.

The opening scene of the show sets the tone for the rest of the series. Kasumi wakes up in a seemingly abandoned laboratory with no knowledge of how she got there. She quickly realizes that she is being hunted by a group of armed men who are trying to capture her. With no other options left, Kasumi falls back on her instincts and unleashes a powerful burst of energy that disables her attackers. This is just the beginning of what turns out to be an epic journey filled with action, suspense, and mystery.

One of the things that makes Not Found stand out is the quality of the animation. Every scene is meticulously crafted, and the attention to detail is astonishing. From the sweeping vistas of the futuristic cityscape to the intricate tech designs of the laboratory, every aspect of the show's setting is meticulously realized. The character designs are equally impressive, with each protagonist and antagonist possessing a unique look that helps to differentiate them from one another.

The show's pacing is also one of its strengths. Despite the complex plot and large cast of characters, the story moves at a fast pace and never feels dragged out. Each episode ends on a cliffhanger, making it almost impossible not to binge-watch the entire season in one sitting. The action scenes are well-choreographed and exciting, with Kasumi using her powers to great effect against her foes.

In addition to its action-packed sequences, the show also has an underlying mystery that keeps viewers guessing from start to finish. Kasumi's complete lack of memory adds an element of intrigue to the story as she unravels her past and discovers her true identity. Along the way, she encounters a myriad of characters, each with their own motivations and agendas, adding further layers to the plot.

Another aspect of Not Found that merits mentioning is its soundtrack. The show's music sets the mood for each scene, whether it's an intense fight sequence or a poignant character moment. The show's opening and closing themes are also memorable and well-composed, setting the tone for the show as a whole.

4Not Found isn't without flaws, however. Some characters feel underdeveloped, with their motivations and backstories left unexplored. This is especially true for some of the less prominent antagonists who seem to exist solely to serve as cannon fodder for Kasumi to defeat. Additionally, the show's reliance on the "memory loss" trope might feel tired and clichéd to some viewers who are familiar with the sci-fi genre.

Despite its shortcomings, Not Found is an anime series that is well worth watching. Its high production values, engaging storyline, and likable characters make it a must-watch for any fan of action sci-fi anime. The show's first season leaves off on an intriguing cliffhanger that paves the way for a second season. Here's hoping that J-Edge delivers another exciting installment of the series in the near future.

Not Found is a series that ran for 1 seasons (12 episodes) between February 25, 2011 and on J-Edge
