Back in the day when I first discovered anime and would go to the local Video Update to rent stuff I put off getting this one. I don't know why, the cover didn't look like anything special, the story sounded really generic, and it was rather beat-up and faded. Finally when I had run out of other stuff to rent I brought this one home. Directly after viewing this film I promptly kicked myself in the ass. This was one of the best I'd ever seen! The story, rather than beeing as dull and stupid sounding on the cover was unique, if rather pieced together looking(I had gotten Poly Matrix, the movie version). The m
In the future people are living on Mars. Ross Sylibus gets transfered from the LAPD or something 'cause his partner was killed by a robot and he could'nt handle it. He ends up w/ Naomi Armitage as his partner. Little does he know she is a Third, an illegal type of robot that is undistinguishable from a human. Someone is killing Seconds and Thirds and they get assigned to the case.
Armitage the movie is actually a compilation of 4 OAV's. The story is actually more developed and they go into more character depth. They probably go more into how Ross becomes more like a robot and the death of his partner. The music really fits it. Very techno and stuff. I like the ending song on the movie, the name escapes me at the moment though. All in all, this is a very good anime and should be viewed by all those into dark futuristic movies.
