What they share
Both films are directed by Shinji Aramaki, and they sit in Action / Animation / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01 is
A forgotten anime about a robot tank that goes to college, accidentally. A student’s poor life choices escalate when the army’s 20-ton mistake starts joyriding through Tokyo. The real tragedy? His girlfriend probably still stood him up.
