Description:
Ten years ago, an unspeakable disaster shook the world and endless devastation rained from the heavens. From the ashes of that tragedy rose the city of learning, Academia. A young girl named Kuu attends one of the city's many schools, unaware that the fearful disaster only marked the beginning of the struggles to come. When a series of people go missing and a mysterious transfer student named Kyoshiro joins her class, Kuu's life is turned upside down. She soon finds herself locked in a conflict with the Absolute Angels, a group of beautiful girls who must feed off of human life force to survive. Wielding god-like strength, they have the power to destroy the world itself. But are these angels truly demons of destruction, or simply innocent girls trapped in a fate they can't escape? Who is Kyoshiro, and why does he look like the prince that Kuu sees in her dreams? In a world of love and betrayal, Kuu must not only find the answers to these questions, but the meaning of her own existence.

The (small) boost in emotional content notwithstanding, this is still the series to hit up for a watching experience that is consistently fun and never taxing.
This is a collection of gags in search of a plotline, and when it finally does find a story to tell, the change in tone is so abrupt that you end up wishing it had stayed pointless and stupid.
A young man becomes obsessed with a young woman who can transform into an alien biomechanical dragon in this weak effort from Gonzo. While not a total disaster, it does not give much hope for the rest of the series.
If this is the kind of stagnation and dullness that permeates the monster world, then we should all be thankful for being human.
Metropolis DVDMetropolis upholds the idea that Japanese animation produces great stories.
