I just saw all six episodes in one sitting. And might I say: amazing.
The entire series is based around a kid and his boring life in a boring town... and that's when an girl on a vespa hits him, he starts getting robots popping out of his head, and he finds out there is a mystery about the Medical Meccanica plant in his town that encompasses the universe.
This might sound like a stupid random anime. And I will admit, if you see the episodes in solidarity -- it is. Nothing special, just random robots, intermixed chibi animation in parts, and big haired space fiends. But when seen in its entirety... something shows up from underneath the surface.
An anti-capitalist metaphor seeps through. A yearning for revolution. A call for action.
I recommend it to any anime fan, whose will to put 3 hours on the line (a 6 episode series, can be found on DVD for cheap) and you won't be dissapointed.
