Black Magic
Mario M-66

By : Masmune Shirow

Genre : Action / Sci Fi

The military is transporting some experimental combat androids but someone forgot to remove their AI programs beforehand. Enroute, the androids combat programs activate and they escape. The training scenario in the programs is an assasination. The androids set out to carry it out for real. Else where, go-getter reporter Cybal gets a hot tip that the military is doing something unusual in a nearby forest. She grabs her camera and heads out to get the scoop. She finds her big story. She also finds herself inbetween the androids and their target.

Review
Drawn and animated okay for it's time. Has some good action scenes, particularly one well choreographed battle between androids and soldiers in a forest. The storyline is good for action and sweetened by the Sci Fi elements. Reminds me some of the original Terminator movie. Over all, very entertaining.
