What happens

The Humanoid (ザ・ヒューマノイド 哀の惑星レザリア, The Humanoid: Ai no Wakusei Lazeria), litteralement The Humanoid : Lazeria the Planet of Love, aussi connu sous le nom Metallia, est un film d'animation OAV sorti en 1986 au Japon. Dans un univers mélangeant science-fiction et action, cette œuvre aborde le thème de la nature humaine à travers un gynoïde qui essaye de comprendre ce que cela signifie que d'être humain. Ce film est fortement inspiré de plusieurs œuvres de science fiction dont Star Wars, le film italien L'Humanoïde ainsi que Metropolis. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
