Summary: The cocoon-like city of Romdo was meant to be a sealed-off
utopian city where humans and androids (‘autoreivs’) would co-exist in
peace under total government control… of course, these things rarely
work out, so in execution, Romdo is a dark, depressing sort of place.
While investigating a strange series of murders, Intelligence Bureau
detective Re-l Mayer gets an enigmatic (and creepy) warning that
something is “awakening”… and then she's visited by a bizarre-looking
android beast, who defends her from another, equally bizarre-looking
android beast. Something stinks in the city of Romdo!

Summary: "For Renton, every day's the same. Nothing happens, nothing
changes. He goes to school, he goes home. The only thing that keeps him
happy is lifting on his ref board. Nothing exciting ever happens to him.
Until one day, a giant mecha called an LFO comes crashing down on him
literally. And inside is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen! The thing
is though, that the girl is on the run from the military with her stolen
mecha, she's brought trouble with her. Renton will have to summon up all
his courage to face his childhood hero; get the girl he's hopelessly smitten
with to like him; and-oh yeah-live up to the legacy of his father who
saved the world. But hey, at least it's not boring anymore." -- FROM
