In a murky near-future, the rift between the classes has grown dramatically, and the poor inhabit a city dubbed Night Town for its lack of electricity.

He's able to scrape by this way without getting into trouble, unti one day when, while delivering a small cube made of a material called Gad, Hajiki gets into an altercation. Suddenly the cube transforms into a giant humanoid robot, an Iron Man called Lightning--who proves to be quite a useful friend in a place like Night Town. Hajiki soon meets other people who own and use Iron Men and finds that while some use them to fight crime, some use them for fun, or even destruction.

    Ok, I really liked this show to start off, I thought it had a lot of potential. However, as you get towards episode 10 the show just starts to loose direction and just lost my interest. Show is definitely aimed at young boys, cause all your going to get is some robots to keep your attention. I don't recommend this show if you're into good storylines, there's plenty of other 24 espisode shows that won't waste your time.

    Anime News Network ratings: Overall (dub) : B- Overall (sub) : B- Story : D Animation : A- Art : A Music : A I agree. The animation and use of retro art styles was very good. Some were also reminiscent of FLCL; however, the story is quite lacking and failed to engage me enough to make me want to rent the next in the series. Perhaps good for youngsters, though more in the 13-17 range, as there is some typically bouncy eye candy here, though no nudity.

    Spends more than half its length being curiously mellow and laid-back despite ostensibly being an action series. This is somewhat interesting just in its uniqueness, but eventually, it tries to turn up the tension and produce some drama, and its previously placid pace prevents it from being taken seriously. Characters are fairly uninteresting, so there's little to keep you watching until the end. Its best point is the bouncy jazz soundtrack.

    Yes   |   No
