Key the Metal Idol
is an original video animation (OVA) anime series that was released in Japan from 1994 to 1997. The series consists of fifteen episodes divided into four parts. ''First Program'' consists of episodes 1 through 7. ''Second Program'' is 8 through 13. ''Third Program'' and ''Final Program'' are films 1 and 2 respectively. ''Key'' is a serious and somewhat dark drama with elements of science fiction, supernatural, and action.
The central character of the story is Tokiko Mima (nicknamed "Key"), who believes herself to be a robot crafted by her scientist grandfather, Murao Mima. Every year, on her birthday, Key believes Dr. Mima builds Key a new body, each one size larger. Upon his deathbed, Mima records his will on audio tape, revealing that Key can become human with the aid of 30,000 friends. Key believes she must do this quickly before her battery runs down, but in truth, Key is a human girl whose robotic persona is a coping mechanism and a response to severe childhood trauma. The series details the slow unraveling of truth of Key's identity, the reasons for the subversion of her human identity, and a secret conspiracy bent on controlling her and unique supernatural abilities she develops over the course of the narrative.
==Overview==
''Key the Metal Idol'', was originally produced and sold as an "experimental" title, with the original release media (VHS Tapes and LDs) priced very low, at 2,500 yen for a single-episode tape or 5,800 yen for a 3-episode LD, with the first episode retailing at 1000 yen. This was less than half the typical price of OVA titles at the time. As the series progressed, the episode lengths and volume costs continued to increase. The final volumes were priced 9,500 yen each, which was consistent with other titles at the time.
The series is also unusual in that the episodes are of varying length. The first thirteen episodes are approximately 25 minutes each. The final two episodes are 95 minutes each. In addition to the OVA series, Radio Drama CDs were made. The anime and soundtrack were released in the United States by Viz Video on eight VHS tapes and three DVDs in 1997-2000, and later all together as a box set in 2004.
