Why Next Gen scores this way

A lonely girl befriends a powerful combat robot in a tech-saturated future and the two form an unlikely bond. Bright animation with comedy and heartfelt moments, but considerable sci-fi action violence, robot destruction, and a notable villain make it more intense than its cute look suggests.
