The original Tetsuwan Birdy manga was written by Yuki Masami back in 1985. The manga ran for three years before it was abandoned by Masami. In 1996, the single manga volume of Birdy was adapted into a four episode OVA series by Madhouse. The OVA covered what little material there was from the original source before seeing it's end in 1997. The story for both the original OVA and the new series generally follows the same path. Intergalactic police officer Birdy Cephon Altera and her cyborg partner Tute arrive on Earth in pursuit of a wanted alien criminal and, whilst chasing that criminal, she accidentally kills a high school student named Senkawa Tsutomu. However, this is not the end for Tsutomu as the Federation that Birdy works for will provide him with a new body. In the interests of not causing undue alarm to the people around him (and letting him continue with his life), Tsutomu's "soul" is merged with Birdy's body (allowing them to switch between each other), whilst his new body is made. Tetsuwan Birdy is still an enjoyable experience and should be watched by any action or classic anime fans. While the story and characters are nothing ground breaking, the solid storytelling and well-animated fight scenes are enough to keep one's attention.
