Metallic Rouge is a sci-fi action series that follows the adventures of Rouge and her friends, who live in a world where metal is the most precious resource and the source of a mysterious energy called Metallica.

Rouge and her group use their own Metallica abilities to fight against the empire and seek the legendary Metallic Garden, a place where metal and nature coexist in harmony.
