Product of Its Era 📼
Modern Consensus: A classic early-2000s review that captures the fandom enthusiasm of its day, despite dated production elements.

📖 Overview

The anime is decent... It is a classic, though. I like it.

🎬 Storyline & Narrative

In the future, an accident occurs while transporting a secret military weapon...

This weapon is the Anti-Personnel robot, M-66. It's goal... to seek out and destroy its creator's granddaughter.

The military tries every attempt to stop its toy, but in the end, it's all up to one person... a reporter by the name of Sybil.

👥 Characters & Dynamics

Sybil(or another spelling)- qualifies for military work, if she gets out of the reporting business... very committed.

Ferris- granddaughter of Prof. Matthews, target of robot gone haywire. Kind of naive.

Prof. Matthews- dedicated to 2 things... science, and his granddaughter.

Commander- military leader, not very talkative... dedicated to his squad.

🎨 Animation & Visual Direction

Visual quality is older style, not as refined as some anime titles, such as Armitage III, but the artwork is still pretty decent.

🎵 Voice Acting & Soundtrack

English Dub:

Voice acting, above average, but still is an example of it's era. (1980's)

🔴 What We Disliked: Length of video (too short), character acting not very good.
💬 Early-2000s Fandom Pulse Community Rating: ★ 4/5 (1 historical responses)
• Community Praise: I agree for the most part. I have seen the sub, and I thought it was terrific. You could also mention the distinct similarity to the Terminator story
• Contentious Points: Length of video (too short), character acting not very good.
