Description:
This cheerfully inane jiggle series is set in 1920s Japan. Forced by bullies to explore an eerie mansion, adolescent Nakahito inadvertently awakens the cyborg or "Steel Angel" created by Dr. Ayankoji. A long-haired babe in a French maid's outfit, Kurumi proclaims Nakahito her "master" and will accept orders only from him. But Kurumi is also an extraordinarily powerful robot sought by the military. The mismatched Nakahito and Kurumi, and Dr. Ayankoji and Nakahito's older brother Kamihito, find themselves drawn into a baroque plot involving a lecherous army general, various spies, and a second Steel Angel named "Saki." Steel Angel Kurumi often plays like Urusei Yatsura, but without Rumiko Takahashi's wit. As the episodes are only 15 minutes long, the DVD is fleshed out with copious notes, production sketches, and interviews. Unrated; suitable for ages 16 and up: Nudity, minor profanity, violence, risqué humor. --Charles Solomon
