Genre: Sci-Fi / Action / Mecha Amazon.com The comedy-adventure Mars Daybreak (2004) takes place in the future, when Mars has somehow been covered by oceans. Cheerful ne'er-do-well Gram River can't find work in the collapsing Martian economy. When he falls into the sea while escaping from a heist, he lands in a conveniently placed RB, a sophisticated mecha. A natural pilot, Gram fights off his pursuers--and joins the pirates aboard the Ship of Aurora. Captain Elizabeth's jolly crew of misfits robs the occupying Earth military to help the needy. Gram's new calling puts him in conflict with Vestemona, a no-nonsense young lieutenant from Earth with whom he shares an interesting past.

The comic interaction among the crew members will appeal to fans of Patlabor. (Rated 13 and older: violence) --Charles Solomon
