Koutetsu Tenshi Kurumi

During Japan's Taisho Era (1912-1926), a scientist named Ayanokoji developed the Steel Angel - an artificial humanoid with superhuman physical abilities. While the Imperial Army wanted to use the Steel Angel as a new means of modern warfare, Ayanokoji wanted his creation to be a new step in the future of mankind. Thus, he defied orders from the Army and secretly made the Steel Angel codenamed "Kurumi". Then one day, a young boy named Nakahito Kagura snuck into Ayanokoji's house as a dare by his friends and stumbled upon Kurumi's lifeless body. A sudden attack by the Imperial Army shook the house, causing Kurumi to fall on Nakahito. At that moment, their lips met, and Kurumi woke up from "the kiss that started a miracle". (Source: ANN)

Reviews

Upon watching this, I found it to be the worst anime in existence, but. Damn. Basically, the story is this: a boy finds a steel angel named Kurumi and she proclaims him her master. She wants his d, I guess, and now other things and other Steel Angels are after her. No matter what, the story is really shitty. But the super vulgar dialogue is what kept me watching it... I wonder in the back of my mind how any English dub company would allow something like this...that's ADV Media for you... There's nothing special about the animation at all. It's very much with its time. Though, the sound is really good. THE THEME SONG, OMG. I'D PAY MY SOUL TO HAVE JUST THE THEME SONG. The sound is the only good thing about this show... The characters are...unique? But I don't like any of them. But yeah, this show is pretty mediocre. The dub is the only thing good about it because man is the dub freaking vulgar. They say shit more than they do in Black Lagoon. That's saying something.

Pretty bad. It's one of the many that was dubbed, so it's dub-worthy bad.
