Dimension W has built a real following in Australia on Crunchyroll, and in the US on Crunchyroll among viewers who want their sci-fi to think as hard as it looks. A compact run that never overstays its welcome. 68 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Watch it for Daisuke Ono — the performance elevates material that could easily tip into self-seriousness. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Crunchyroll.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Dimension W is worth clearing space for. The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry Dimension W through its more ambitious moments. Humanity has found a way to achieve infinite energy by using coils to draw it from the fourth plane: dimension "W". With the production of coils having been monopolized by the New Tesla energy company, freelance collectors are hired to find and remove any illegal, unofficial coils. This is the story of collector Kyōma, who also happens to have a huge hatred towards coils. The human element stays intact thanks to Daisuke Ono and Reina Ueda, who anchor every scene. It was aired in 2016. The world-building is meticulous enough to sustain multiple rewatches, with details early on that only make sense later. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Sci-fi fans who want ideas alongside the spectacle will find Dimension W genuinely rewarding. Viewers who responded to Darwin's Game will find a lot to like here too. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Daisuke Ono's performance is the anchor the more ambitious moments need. The world-building pays off in ways you will not anticipate on a first watch.
