Storyline
A brilliant scientist named Dr. Watson has built a robot who can think and feel like a human. The planetary governor however, doesn't want anything to do with it.
If you're a fan of Battle of the Planets, Transformers, Bubblegum Crisis, Macross, Robotech or other 80s anime, you'll likely enjoy this.
Contrary to what the review states, the animation is pretty much par for the course for anime released at that time, and some sequences are quite good.
It's main flaw is that it tackles a subject too deep and complex for a 45 min. feature. Can a robot love a human? Is it really love? Spielberg's "A.I." explored this concept in a much more mature, lengthy, and engaging fashion, but The Humanoid is still fun viewing.
If you find it now, it'll be cheap. My version is the original VHS, released in 1986 in Japan. There are a couple of newer versions, on DVD, and I don't know what they contain. Enjoy.
