Key the Metal Idol	comment	Key the Metal Idol is a 15-episode OVA series directed by Hiroaki Sato and produced by Studio Pierrot, which was released from 1994 to 1996.Tokiko Mima, nicknamed "Key," is a robot who has been raised as a human girl by her inventor/grandfather in a small, idyllic village in Japan. As her grandfather is dying, he tells her that she can become a human, provided she can make 30,000 friends before her battery runs out. With this, Key moves away from her idyllic village and heads for Tokyo.Here she finds her best friend from Middle School, Sakura Kuriyagawa, working three different jobs to keep afloat. With her help as well as the help of Sakura's friend Shuichi Tataki (neither of which are convinced by Key's story), they plan to make Key into a Idol singer. They reason that someone following in the footsteps of Production Minos' biggest star, the mysterious Miho Utsuse, could easily gain the friendship of 30,000 people.However, in times of extreme stress or danger, a second personality emerges from Key's emotionless form, revealing a girl that is not only more like a human, but one who appears to do supernatural feats.And if you think from the description that this is a cutesy kid's tale about making friends and becoming a real girl...you're going to be in for a rough ride.

Key the Metal Idol / int_1139de32	comment	Scam Religion: Prince Snake-Eye's "Church of the Golden Snake Savior". Although he ultimately means well, he begins trying to recruit Key in order to heal a sick child who'd gone too long without conventional treatment (because of his parents' faith in him). After Key heals the child, he enlists his remaining cultists to sabotage Sakura's attempts to get Key into show business so he can win her back.

Key the Metal Idol / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: Ajo's PPOR robots; yes, they're humanoid, super-strong, and self-powered, but there are still a lot of bugs to work out. Such as the way they only really work when they're controlled by the same people who contributed the "gel" that powers them. Miho's career is an extreme example. Because her career is basically a front for testing the PPOR technology, at least half of Ajo's skullduggery is so he can make his company's idol singer sit in a soul-draining control chair and control a malfunction-prone robot made in her image.

Also, when it was first released in Japan, it was initially a far lower price than most OVA series (a VHS of the first episode was around 2,500 yen (appx. $20), and a 3-episode laser disc was 5,800 yen (appx. $55), which at the time was less than half of other OVA sets). By the time the final episodes came out, it was priced normally.

Key the Metal Idol / int_e4900915	type	Ridiculously Human Robots
Key the Metal Idol / int_e4900915	comment	Ridiculously Human Robots: Part of the Deconstructor Fleet. Key is introduced as a robot who's "very well-made," able to drink water, shower, and sleep, and this leads to everyone in school bullying her because they assume that her robotic behaviour is just for fun and that she's a human having delusions. Even her Only Friend, Sakura, wishes Key would just give up on "pretending." Then the accusation that she's just a human turns out to be true.

Key the Metal Idol / int_f42f96fa	type	Would Hit a Girl
Key the Metal Idol / int_f42f96fa	comment	Would Hit a Girl/No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Beniko casually makes an offhand remark that prompts Ajo to punch her out of her seat. When she calls him out on it, he proceeds to beat her 'til she's bruised and bloodied, while pointedly telling her how little he regards her gender, her looks, her singing voice, or the fact that she's an idol.

Key the Metal Idol / int_ff38c97b	comment	Exotic Eye Designs: Key's eyes are a light shade of purple with tiny pupils and a dark purple-colored rim. To add to her strange and robotic appearance, they look like they're perpetually wide open with shock. As a human, they're brown and softer.
