I thought it was a very interesting idea, I love games that experiment with new things and game mechanics, but it quickly went from being a fun idea to mostly frustrating, especially since you can't change the controls. Using the mouse and stretching the other hands fingers to control arrow keys and then jump with space is not really that different from playing a piano/keyboard piece that your hands are nearly or just a little too small for. I tested this on a trackpad, but I don't see an actual mouse making that big of a difference, while the possibility to change the controls actually might make a big difference.

Haha I was afraid this was going to be the answer, 'cause I don't know anyone who watches anime. Ok well I know a few, but they're more like, friends of friends thst I don't really know or keep contact with. The same applies to pretty much anything though. You can't beat actually talking to other people who know who you are and what you like.
Just here to remind everyone to report that shit as well!
I always feel guilty after reporting, because it's such a different environment, especially over here at beehaw, but I don't think there's been a single time that I wasn't positively surprised that the "housekeeping" agrees there's no place for shitty behaviour here. Always reaffirms that I definitely joined the right place.

Open up! It's the thought-police! We have reason to believe you are reading with intent to commit a criminal act! You are under arrest! Anything you say or think can and will be used against you in the court of law!
Seconding Akira and Ghost in the shell, Steins;Gate is great too.
One of the first ones I saw (and I love cyberpunk and scifi shit) was Serial Experiments Lain and it was one of the first ones to get me absolutely hooked. Mind you, it is weird and strange, but if you're into stuff like David Lynch at all you'll love it.
Others to look into that aren't exactly cyberpunk, but futuristic/scifi nonetheless: Neon Genesis Evangelion (finish it, it gets really cool towards the end and I thought all things mecha-anything was just dudes being silly about robots), Cowboy Bebop, Ergo Proxy and Gantz (might seem silly at first, but gets interesting towards the end).
Ooh I totally forgot this one! Osmos is seriously an amazing game, one of my favorite games of all time.
Pathos - Nethack Codex, a very playable traditional roguelike based on Nethack.
Unciv, an open-source Civilization V remake.
Ah shit it didn't even occur to me to even try wasd :D I'll give it another try now that I know. I just thought "well this seems super inconvenient"
