5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing in every aspect., May 10, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Key the Metal Idol - The Complete Collection (DVD)

I bought these DVDs separetly a couple of years ago and was astounded at what I saw. This anime is amazing. The animation is great and I love the character designs(there different from any anime I've seen before). The story is a very dark sci-fi drama about a robot girl named Key. I won't ruin any of it for you as it is very good. This is a very dark show though for having a pinocchio esque story. There is blood, gore, and some nudity so Id say it would be more appropiate for older teens. The characters are all really great and help to keep you enthralled in the story. Also the music fits well adding to the great atmosphere. Key kind of reminds of Lain, if you've seen and liked that show you will most definantly like this one. So if you like dark psycological sci-fi dramas, then don't even think about it buy it now(especially since its in this new really cheap box set) its worth every penny.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unconventional, but great series, September 20, 2005

This review is from: Key the Metal Idol - The Complete Collection (DVD)

Key is easily one of my favorite anime series. Although it follows the anime style, it is quite unconventional for an anime. After watching the first couple tapes of this series, I has no idea what genre it was; it obviously has sci-fi elements, some action scenes (thought not many) and it is full of dramatic elements of the dark, melancholy mood the Key does well. There are so many reasons to watch the series: incredible character design, quality animation and great cinematography, and most of all a plot that forces you to watch the series to its very end.

This review is from: Key the Metal Idol - The Complete Collection (DVD)

Mysterious and totally attracted in looking for the truth to the end. Comparing with the new type of android stories nowadays, this anime is just like a detective story in terms of android. This is not commonly seen. Surprising ending.
