Synopsis
Children discover an industrial robot gaining consciousness at a factory, leading to unexpected and violent consequences.
When an industrial robot named Monroe begins to work at his father's factory, Satoru is fascinated. As he and his friend Marin spend more time with Monroe, they start to suspect there's more to the machine than anyone else realizes. But neither children nor adults are prepared for Monroe's violent awakening into consciousness. (Source: VIZ Media)
