SynopsisMaetel abandoned her mother and her home planet, the doomed and frozen La Metal, where people must become cyborgs to survive. When she is beckoned to return, her options seem slim: follow her mother's path (and with it a robot mind and the contempt of all humans), or run away and fight with humans against the machines. Yet, she is not without comrades and defenders. If she can accept the friendship of beings of metal who desire peace, and oppose those who think being made of flesh and blood is enough to make one human, she may still have a chance to find her own path.

I think the anime world must think that Leiji Matsumoto fans will put up with just about anything. As if the Maetel Legend OVA wasn't bad enough, they double-down on it by expanding that story with this crap series. Sure we get to see some nice retro character designs and a great CGI Death Shadow, but the writing on this series was just about as bad as I've ever seen in all my 30 years of watching anime. The scripting of each episode was so abysmal that it was making me physically angry. Of the 5 1/2 hours the series runs, I would say there is 30 minutes of combined awesomeness and 5 full hours of forgettable garbage. Things have gotten so bad that the climactic battle includes Promethium using a giant Death Star . . . I mean it IS the Death Star. Pathetic. read more
