Synopsis

In the first test of a revolutionary personal battle-suit, the MADOX-01, Ace female test-pilot Elle Kusomoto smashes an attacking tank force and humiliates Lt. Kilgore, Japan's most-macho tank-jockey, in the process.

Kilgore swears he'll get even, and he gets his chance when the prototype MADOX literally falls off the back of a truck in the middle of Tokyo.

Meanwhile, the MADOX, which fell off the back of one truck, off a bridge, and into the back of another truck, has found its way into the hands of college student Koji Sujimoto. Intruiged by the MADOX, Koji makes the big mistake of fooling with it without reading the manual first, and soon finds himself locked in the suit and zooming around downtown Tokyo.

If you find a mysterious box on a truck in your technical college, the best and most obvious course of action to take is to open it. If it happens to contain a suit of powered armor and a manual,only read the passage that tells you how to turn it on and get inside. After that happens, there's no better way to celebrate the activation of your newly-found robot suit by visiting your ex-girlfriend in a crowded tower.

Uh-huh.

Metal Skin Panic Madox-01 (don't you love those old-school robot titles? 'Armored Trooper Votoms', 'Blue Comet Super Powered-Tracer Layzner'...) is another one of those old 80s ...

Mixed Feelings
I was extremely surprised how little I cared about this. The core premise is great--dude accidentally gets stuck in a mecha suit while he's trying not to get dumped by his girlfriend--but it turns into bunches of chase scenes and not much character development on any end. Still, with animation this nice... it's a real shame that not that much was done with the whole thing. I do NOT think the short length is at fault here because you can do great things in only a half-hour. I think the production went into the mecha designs and fight scenes and they just decided not to ...

Okay lets start this review of right from the start of this OVA.
We're presented with a beautiful scene of the development/testing of an exoskeleton (the Madox). This mecha/scifi goodness got me hyped up for all that is to come. Only to be disappointed by a very mediocre story about a guy, his girlfriend who's about to go study abroad and the Madox. How does this all add up? I don't have a clue! It's like a math assignment Einstein wouldn't be able to solve. I know alot of OVA are pretty horrible due to the fact that it's hard to setup a plot, develop ...
