The local law enforcement has a problem: the Demon Seed — a small but surprisingly capable gang with a charismatic leader. Their mecha body suits allow them to undertake spectacular crimes that regularly rampage the city and totally humiliate the police.
Desperate, the police have created a special branch just to deal with them. However, these unlucky few are not having any better results than the regular police and the public is turning against them. If they could just foil the Demon Seed once it would make their careers so much easier.
They just need a plan... luckily chief Hattori has come up with something the Demon Seed gang will definitely never expect. Hatched from chief's alcohol-induced mind, the plan is so bizarre that it just might work: Find the perfect crime fighter who is so powerful and captivating that even if they do not beat the Demon Seed gang, the public just will not care! And who could this person be? An idol singer of course!
The cute and innocent 14-year-old Namikaze Maron cannot sing or even dance, but she has the only talent the job really requires: superhuman strength! Now Hattori and his crew must mold her into the perfect idol singer and turn Maron into their ultimate weapon... but at what cost? Can she really survive the Demon Seed's onslaught?

Where it came from
Assemble Insert originated as a 1989 two-part original video animation produced by Tohokushinsha Film Corporation, based on the manga by Masami Yuuki. Released during the burgeoning era of the 1980s direct-to-video market, the series serves as a satirical take on the idol industry and the superhero genre. The narrative centers on Momomi Namonaki, a girl recruited to become a weapon-wielding hero for a public relations firm, highlighting the cynical intersection of entertainment and combat.
The character designs and animation style reflect the polished, vibrant aesthetic common to late-80s Japanese animation, aiming to balance comedic timing with action-oriented sequences. Directed by Katsuhito Akiyama, the OVA was well-received by fans of the medium for its meta-commentary on the pop culture tropes of the time, effectively blending character-driven humor with the high-energy visual flair characteristic of the studio's output during that period.
