Sounds To Masterbate To

Key the Metal Idol

Key the Metal Idol OVA is a series of 15 episodes produced by Studio Pierrot between 1994 and 1997, divided into three parts: First Progam (1 to 7), Second Program (8 to 13) those with a duration of 25 minutes the next, The Third Program and Final Program (episodes 14 and 15) diuraciĆ³n with 95 minutes each.

Tokiko Mima is a young man of 17 years who all called Key. With human appearance and a rarity, its interior consists of a robot mechanisms that have been created by his grandfather, Dr. Murao. Shortly before his grandfather dies, he leaves a message that will change your whole life, if you want to become human, you must get the power of 30,000 friends before your body stops working. With this message ringing in his head, take the road to Tokyo, then in the town where she lives does not dwell enough people that the human right. There he meets his childhood friend, Sakura Kuritagawa, the first who will fight to achieve the dream of Key, although at first this story seems implausible. Together with Shuichi Tataki, the president of fan club Miho Utsu-a very famous young singing sensation, which knows thanks to Sakura, together they undertake the grueling road that Tokiko is turning into a young singing sensation. A difficult task because the girl he is unable to express their feelings. His character is fully robotic like movements.

strange, complex and offbeat blend of sci-fi drama, an early-philosophical fantasy anime appear in the late nineties, early two thousand, and precedent titles such as "Ghost in the Shell" ("Kokaku kidotai, Mamoru Oshii, 1995)," Lain: Serial Experiments "(" Serial Experiment: Lain, 1998) or "Elfen Lied" ("Elfen Lied", 2004 .)



story about friendship, the turbulent world of Japanese music idols, and robots that eat human fluids, punctuated with flashes of the classic Carlo Collodi "Pinocchio", this series features above all by an interesting cast of characters, perhaps a bit one-dimensional, but the most attractive, especially our protagonist. His appearance is that of a thin, almost anorexic teenager -A stereotype is very unusual in the anime, Sakura despair whose personality and interests Tatari. His brief moments of humanity, which are gradually taking shape, are the highlights of the series, and are shown in the fourth episode, one of the best. She is almost a contrast with her friend Sakura, which is a little irritating. Sakura hardly fits the series: it seems the typical stereotype of anime girl. It's a bit annoying with his outbursts to Key and his impatience with Tataki. But it has a key to the past of Key.


Moreover, a production as interesting as captivating and exciting, combining sentiments skin-deep with bubbling blood, showing the price of fame and often ruthless mechanisms of the entertainment industry, and injecting a large dose of anguish, cruelty, sadness and uncertainty, which can both impress and scare the viewer. "Key" also presents a look at the devious mind of a man-with-power, obviously from a negative view about society.

A title as dark as sensitive as strange as fascinating as pessimistic as promising to open minds and hardened stomachs.
