Synopsis

After emerging victorious against an alien species known as Usurpers using combat androids called Neans, mankind colonized Mars and enjoyed post-war peace. Having fulfilled their purpose as soldiers, Neans became subservient workers and second-class citizens to humans. Requiring a daily dose of Nectar to sustain themselves, the androids depend on their masters for its supply of the drug.

However, among this societal hierarchy lie Proto-Neans, independent specialized androids that can summon metallic exoskeletons with superhuman capabilities. Rouge Redstar is one such Proto-Nean working undercover for Aletheia, the government organization overseeing the regulation of Neans, alongside her human partner, Naomi Orthmann.

Rouge and Naomi's mission is to eliminate the Immortal Nine—Proto-Neans who threaten humanity for cryptic reasons. At the same time, an investigator is making his way to Mars to follow a series of murders where Rouge is considered the prime suspect. As the pair delve deeper into their search for the Immortal Nine, they uncover groundbreaking information about the rogue androids and the organization they work for.

Out of Vivi's fluorite song and this the first one is probably the one with the rounder package. This show still offers a lot of interesting sci fi ideas and ultimately it is sad to see that the studio didn't have the time or budget to flesh out some of the animations. That really takes a dip towards the end of the season.

The rating for this show absolutely surprises me. The story might not be told in the most efficient way but it is an actual story, delivered with great music and actually decent animation when it matters most. Some things i would personally criticize ...

It's going to be hard to explain why I'm never going to be recommending a show that I thoroughly enjoyed, consider fairly solid, and believe exceeds in a lot of areas where most anime fail.

Metallic Rouge has all the makings of an incredible show, it is in theory a love letter to all sci-fi fans. This is the type of show that casually drops a reference to a short sci-fi story written in the 50s called "The Cold Equations" and expects you to get it. Any other show would see that as an absurdly niche thing to reference, but there is a fundamental love for ...

Studio Bones’s Metallic Rouge can best be described as the anime equivalent of Disney’s Wish.

If I had a nickel for every time a renowned animation studio released an animated project that was meant to celebrate the anniversary of their studio’s founding only for it to end up as a critical disappointment in critic and/or fan reception, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?

Comparing Studio Bones and Disney in terms of their impact on animation and the production libraries they boast would normally elicit a positive analogy based on how influential they were for creating so many ...
