This is a bit of an odd one. Something of a scifi noir, our heroine, Real, is the granddaughter of the regent.
She works with an organization that, as near as I can tell, polices robots called "autoraves" and looks for signs that they've been infected by a disease that, I think, makes them think they're autonomous enties. Or something. Meanwhile, there are these strange things with dramatic white hair that are going around killing people, and seem to have an interest in Real.

Real starts to uncover what seems to be a conspiracy, though, when she's attacked and she learns that, not only do the higher ups not seem really interested in getting to the bottom of what's going on, but that her personal autorave, Iggy, has had his memories altered, both of the attack, and of their investigation the day before. A few other important seeming characters who are floating around are Vincent, a young man also being chased by the white haired things, who seems slated for the Damsel In Distress roll, a little girl autorave whose "mother" wanted her programming to be altered to that of a maid when she was able to adopt a "real" baby, and the chief of a department in what I think is the organization Real works for.

Guys, this is the kind of show that has two minutes of footnotes and explanations at the end of the episodes so that it can explain what you just watched to you. While I wish it were a little less dense(something I don't say a lot) I do like Real (and her Very Dramatic Eyeshadow) and the scifi noir feel, and the story seems interesting. I just wish it were a little more approachable. I have a feeling that at one point, I'm going to just stop following the plot and enjoy watching the scifi noir heroine shoot things.

And I have been capping Real and her Very Dramatic Eyeshadow, so here, have a few.
