However, when Key’s grandfather is on his deathbed, she learns she can finally become human with the aid of 30,000 friends.
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.
