Synopsis

In the first test of a revolutionary personal battle-suit, the MADOX-01, Ace female test-pilot Elle Kusomoto smashes an attacking tank force and humiliates Lt. Kilgore, Japan's most-macho tank-jockey, in the process.

Kilgore swears he'll get even, and he gets his chance when the prototype MADOX literally falls off the back of a truck in the middle of Tokyo.

Meanwhile, the MADOX, which fell off the back of one truck, off a bridge, and into the back of another truck, has found its way into the hands of college student Koji Sujimoto. Intruiged by the MADOX, Koji makes the big mistake of fooling with it without reading the manual first, and soon finds himself locked in the suit and zooming around downtown Tokyo.

Random car mechanic gets his hands on a mobile war machine, chaos ensues.
Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01, is a mecha OVA brought to life by a team of notorious animators and designers, who managed to deliver a competent action experience.
The story is pretty simple. The protagonist, a car mechanic called Koji Sugimoto, stumbles upon a top secret JSDF anti tank humanoid power armor called rhe MADOX-01, enters it and is unable to get out. Now he must escape from the military and go to a building to meet his girlfriend, confronting an officer called Kilgore on the way, and the original pilot of the MADOX, Eriko ...

DISKOWN

Mixed Feelings

Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01 does not have a good story, does not have any compelling characters, and makes little to no sense.

With the plot being so weak it is hard to recommend to all but the most diehard OVA enjoyers. ...

Perhaps what possessed me to watch this mess was that it was on Amazon Prime, but anyhow, yikes.

Really, in what world do you find dangerous sealed military equipment, open it, and decide to pilot it? Okay, maybe you're dumb and dont grasp the consequences of getting arrested over it, surely when you get confronted you'll cooperate right?

Nah, you try to MURDER them, and even succeed when you shoot down aircraft remorselessly. You call everyone dumb for trying to stop you from meeting your ex-girlfriend while rampaging Tokyo. That woman in the robo suit who wants to reason with you? Shoot her too.

Dear lord, can ...
