Genre: Anime, Comedy

Summary: The gang Demon Seed has been terrorizing Japan with their mechanized suits and high-profile crimes and the specialized task force assigned to combat them is woefully inept.  That is until they discover Maron - a high school girl with enough strength to rip Demon Seed's mech suits apart like they were made of cardboard.

Review: I went into Assemble:  Insert with little idea what it was about and I can't say I really enjoyed it.  The synopsis that came with the DVD described it as a satire but it's foreign origin and 1989 vintage muddied a great deal of the humor.  The animation was good but the plot felt like it was all over the place.  The music was alright but the few musical numbers in this felt forced (likely jokes I didn't get).  I suppose someone with a greater knowledge of 1980s era Japanese culture would get more out of this but I felt disappointed when it was over.  Overall, Assemble:  Insert had its place and time - but unfortunately that was 20 years ago.

Opinion: Not very good

By the numbers:  3/10
