Key, who learns she is a robot that her grandfather created.
Without the ability to go lift weights at the gym and the sudden spike in Extra Toasty Cheez-Its entering my body at a medically alarming rate, I have found myself spiraling about my body image moreso than usual. But that visceral discomfort is nothing compared to the feeling of being trapped within a body that could be so much more. This happens in the classic series Key the Metal Idol. The show follows a young woman named Tokiko Mima, a.k.a. Key, who learns she is a robot that her grandfather created. However, when Key’s grandfather is on his deathbed, she learns she can finally become human with the aid of 30,000 friends.
