Maetel Legend's role in the mythos of the Leijiverse is to serve as an origin story for Galaxy Express 999's Maetel and Emeraldas, covering how their mother and home world were manipulated and turned into machines, as well as exploring the start of the robotic war against humanity. The OVA tries to play up the ordeals of the sisters as dramatic, but the rushed pacing, dramatic overemphasis on the girls and their mother's loss of humanity, some sloppy transitions and the lack of a conclusive ending put a dent on the quality of this self-contained OVA. This will likely be worth a look for diehard Leiji Matsumoto fans to look into Maetel and Emeraldas' origins, but I wouldn't consider rewatching it after a single watch.

Well...at least it is better than Harlock Saga. You kill of the bad guy, and destory his brain..3 minutes later, there's his brain all intact on the floor. Hold it, didn't we destroy that? Very Leji Matsumoto. All the girls are skinny and with flowing hair and small pointy noses. Hmm..why did I mark this a watch. Well Lets see, first Emeraldes' hair changes COLOR at least 5 times during the Anime in the SAME SCENE!. She goes to sleep (Blonde), wakes up (Red), running down the hall, BLONDE, talks to her mother, BROWN, finds her sister, BLONDE AGAIN. Sheesh. Last updated Wednesday, December 15 2004.

This is one of my personal favorites although I'll admit it is an aquired taste I just can't get enough of this universe. This wonderful back story on Emeraldas and Maetel and how they came to be wandering the cosmos. The tragic end to their mother (sort of) and their home. If you like this universe bye this otherwise rent it and just see if you like it you might be suprised.
