This is an avoid but it was entertaining. Junpei gets hit by a missile, is in a coma, wakes up, and jumps on a motorcycle to save the day.

So this is a small goverment conspiracy detective show that isn't much a of a detective show. It looks like someone was basically stealing the script of Terminator when they wrote this. Robots, superhuman heroes, stupid cops, it has a little of everything. Basically it's War Games meets terminator.

As long as you suspend disbelief that real life exists (Nuclear robots do NOT explode and leave their Nuclear cores intact), it's watchable.

I watched and didn't retch, but it didn't make me really interested either.
