Her grandfather's ultimate creation, Key contains components that the sinister president of Ajo Heavy Industries needs to perfect his unreliable cyborgs. As the president's icy henchman stalks her, Key reveals she possesses superhuman strength, the ability to levitate, and the power to blow up Ajo warrior robots. These adventures are played against the search for 30,000 friends, which leads Key to a concert by rock star Miho (another cyborg controlled by Ajo) and a cult that worships a snake god.
Key's waif-like appearance recalls Yasuomi Umetsu's "Presence" segment of the 1987 feature Robot Carnival, but her monotone voice and habit of referring to herself in the third person ("Key understands") quickly cloy. The tone of the adventures seesaws between wistful yearning and sinister violence.
Unrated; graphic violence, nudity, profanity, and sexual situations are unsuitable for children. --Charles Solomon

Customer Reviews of Key the Metal Idol - Awakening (Vol. 1)
I'm one of Key's friends Lovely. Beautiful. Wonderful. This is Key the Metal Idol. The perfect series that I was looking for. Once you watch Key, you can't stop. You have to watch the next and the next and the next until you need the next disc. That's what I have to buy as soon as I can. All the characters are wonderfully designed. Especially Key. The story is what got me to buy it. It's very dark, but very interesting. Will Key really win the love of 30,000 friends? I have to know! I have to buy the other 2 discs! Take my advice: BUY KEY. It's worth the money. This is a great series. Will you be one of Key's friends?
Surprisingly Excellent...
Key: The Metal Idol is one of those series that, although maycatch your eye, there is nothing that tempts you to watch it. However,as I was wandering along my video store I realized I have watched nearly every anime besides this video. Therefore, I bought it, not expecting that much of a good series. Was I wrong!
Volume 1 contains three episodes that introduces the main character, Key, a robot made extremely like a human. Even her artifical flesh is just as soft as a humans. These episodes also introduce Sakura, one of her childhood friends. Although the plot is very vague, it begins to deliver itself later. Another strange character we find, is a man who photographs for women posing nude. He is very authoritarian and travels around with a big buff guy. Then there's the mysterious stone soldier and the man who controls him. The characters are really well done.
The music is okay, but is unfortunately in English and I would have rather watched the subtitled version. Surprisingly, the character voices were well done and did not have high-pitched annoying accents.
All in all, this is a series I am definitely going to buy more of, and to get the DVD (subbed/dubbed all the way). See it now!
Strangely addictive
I couldn't stop watching it until I was done. And with 7 episodes on one DVD, you get your money's worth. If you like this one, then you should also check out Chobits, which is sorta the same story.
