Maniacal Dr Wester and his mecha are attacking Airchime City, and there's not much the city defence forces can do about it - although mysterious mech Demonbane saves the day. It's a good time for freelance journalist Lily to arrive in town, though - it makes for plenty of opportunities in the newspaper business. She soon finds that getting hard information about Demonbane is more easily said than done. She soon begins to uncover a link with the city's Hadou Corporation, though - but that may be a dangerous link to investigate...

Worth watching for Dr Wester's antics, if nothing else, but watch out for the bad 80's-style CGI (think Tron) when Demonbane finally appears - this may be an OVA, but it doesn't seem to have had the typical OVA budget lavished on it. As with most game conversions, I'd say prior knowledge of the game world would help a lot - as a standalone episode, this doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense, and the so-so production values don't help. Not really worth the effort...
