The much-anticipated “Metallic Rouge,” a Bones original anime, has just unveiled its third teaser. This time, not only do we witness high-octane android action, but we’re also introduced to side characters and a rich sci-fi backdrop. One particular scene captivates, showing our android protagonist, Rouge Redstar, along with a group, descending via an elevator into what seems like a mysterious settlement nestled within a canyon.
