Baton is a collection of three 20-minute Sci-fi anime films dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the establishment of Yokohama city. On Planet Abel, human-like robot Apollo (Ichihara Hayato, Rookies) and robot-like human Mikaru (Ueto Aya, Azumi) come upon a stowaway robot with a mysterious "Cipher" chip. Not knowing Cipher's powers, Apollo takes the chip for fun, throwing both him and Mikaru headfirst into a mind-boggling mystery that affects the past, present, and future.

Plot

This is a Sci-Fi animation produced and written by Shunji Iwai. He is one of most popular directors in Japan. But I didn't understand it because of the quality.It was his challenge for new animation with the rotoscope technic.Unfortunately, the story made me bored and was lack of attractions simply. The worst thing was characters' voice read in monotonous voices. I was annoying of it.
