Review:

Also known as Adventure Kid, this has been compared with the Urotsuki Doji series. At any rate, several minutes were cut out by the British censors, and having read a synopsis of the cut material I can report that the deletions seemed very unpleasant and I'm not sorry I didn't have to view them. It has to do with a Second World War computer and some nastiness stored on it. Limited animation and designs, dullish story; for anime sex & violence fans only. [Geoff Cowie]
