The saga of Takiko "Key" Mima reaches an incongruous climax in two 90-minute episodes marked by long explanatory scenes between her friends Tataki and Tamayo. The crowning achievement of her grandfather's experiments, the wistful Key is a robot who wants to become a human, something she needs the love of 30,000 friends to accomplish. She's also feared and desired by the evil president of Anjo Heavy Industries, who traffics in battle robots and cyber-entertainers. His machines run on "gel" or "geist," a physical manifestation of the life force. Key is to geist what Kuwait is to petroleum, and her vast reserves give her the superpowers she occasionally manifests. The plot lines established in the first 13 episodes collapse amid a plethora of contradictory revelations. Viewers either have to accept Key's story and ignore the contradictions, or look for other anime entertainment. Unrated; unsuitable for children because of violence, violence against women, nudity, profanity, and grisly imagery. --Charles Solomon
