Really lowers the seriousness of a show that wants to be serious. Also there's a difference between science fiction and fantasy, real dive imho was a fantasy with technology in it. I also had high hopes for it when they tell you that the same people behind gits s.a.c are behind this one.

the technology in the anime is really nice. i'd be very suprized if humans were to ever create something like that.

Nikkoru:
RD uses the cyberpunk genera to explore aspects of our psychology and society in an eclectic of short stories, some more effective than others. Real Drive is careful to take a passive approach - the world is neither good or bad, it simply is - the stories come from how the characters interact through and with it.   

As SF it takes a certain amount of artistic license and suspended disbelief, although I would argue against calling it fantasy -  Real Drive appears to be trying to separate itself from the gritty over-industrialized settings which exists in ubiquity by using the ocean both literally and metaphorically, the tone seems more unrealistic though.

Personally, I genuinely find it heartwarming - there's generally an uplifting conclusion, and I found myself liking many of the characters, or at least understanding them.

Humanoidz:
I enjoyed it a lot because it is a break away from the normal/cliche animes.  It is a relaxing show and I barely payed attention to the overall plot.  All the micro stories and character development are the highlights of the show.  Cowboy Bebop did something similar with only a few episodes having anything anything to do with the macro plot.  The music is great and so is the actual animation.  It feels quite realistic.  You need to watch this with an open mind and don't expect anything over the top.  I love big explosions,super powers, fan service, and comedy but I get bored of that sometimes.  Shows like Real Drive and Kaiji (AWESOME!) fill the gap perfectly when I want something completely different.

You need to watch:-

Witch Blade
Seirei no Moribito

What other anime did this company make? Because honestly, anything IG Production makes, I'll watch. They know how to make an anime. They're pros.

And yes, RD is somewhat different. It's a more relaxing anime than anything you could describe. I liked it and enjoyed it, alot.

oh how i was pissed when i woke up this morning to find this dumb tv show.
I'll get the other one and check it out.

I just couldnt get into the main charr being an old man. I really liked the younger kid and the girl. Holon was really cool too, but the overall story just couldnt keep me entertained. I'm not saying it was bad or anything it just wasnt the kind i like, but still the animation was wonderfully done.

quekmeister:
The main character is not an old man. He is a young man, who, while in a coma, had his body grow old. This is a major part of the drama that takes place. Can you imagine what he must be feeling? Leave it to Masamune Shirow to come up with such a premise. Near the last few episodes, the characters become really amazing. More so than other Shirow works, this one is about love. Love between friends, family, the possibilities of love or lust in an age when everyone and everything is connected.

The whole thing about him being an old man is just one of the unusual things about this anime, mind you, stranger things happen in some of the eps.
