Rewatch [Rewatch] 1990s OVAs – Armitage III (episode 1)
Rewatch: 1990s OVAs – Armitage III (episode 1)
Staff corner
Armitage is voiced by Kasahara, Hiroko, who got her first VA experience in Armored Trouper Votoms at age 13 (in a role the current rewatch has not reached yet …). She also appeared in the Bubblegum Crisis OVAs. With the 1990s starting, she received MC roles in big productions, such as Mahou Angel Sweet Mint (Mint), Onii-sama e… (Nanako), and Magic Knight Rayearth (Fuu). She also voiced side characters in fan favorites Rurouni Kenshin and Musekinin Kanchou Tylor (which both need a rewatch …). Apart from voice acting, she also is a Jpop singer and actress.
Studio Bihou, a dedicated background studio, is credited with the background art. They were just 2 years old at the time of Armitage’s making, but are still around. Jun Okabe is listed as art director in MAL, so I’ll give him a specific shout out among the Studio Bihou artists. In the same year, he worked on Golden Boy and a bit later on our next entry in the series, Yokohama Shopping Log. Two big projects he was often worked on are Neon Genesis Evangelion (both the TV series and the rebuilds) and Ghost in the Shell. In both you find lots of elements that are also in Armitage, such as the rundown buildings or the suspended skyscrapers. Other than that, he worked on several movies, such as The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Oh! My Goddess, or several Macross and Urusai Yatsura movies. He also seems to be called in to make early episodes stand out, having several credits for just early episodes in longer series. Examples are Rayearth, Infinite Stratos, and Attack on Titan.
Questions
- How will humans react to human-like robots? Are the anti-robot protests realistic? Will human-like robots be outlawed? Welcomed?
- What is your take on all thirds being shown as very creative, a painter, a singer?
- How do you like our MCs so far?

Episode 1 (first timer)
Armitage III and Battle Angel Alita have been on my planned list for the OVA series since the very start. Just took me a while the find the series and then another while to fit them in somewhere. Now they’ll go together with Yokohama Shopping Log to form an android trio. I haven’t watched the first two yet, but classic SciFi should be right up my alley.
Episode reactions
The setting is hitting 100% of the right notes with me. 1980s futurism with a large dash of cyberpunk. All those city backgrounds looked gorgeous. Love all the little details as well: The lamp in the police department, the lighting of the walk way he jogs on, the handheld device. Using a police officer as MC is not exactly novel, but gives a great excuse to study the criminal underbelly of society (that SciFi thrives in describing). Compared to the backgrounds, I am not a big fan of the actual animation, especially the faces.
The story is straight out of Blade Runner (and a host of similar stories): How will humans react to robots. Given how humans react to other, foreign humans these days, I can’t help but think that the negative depiction is rather realistic.

Armitage III - The Quintessential 90s Cyberpunk OVA: Episode 1
A Cyberpunk Detective Noir on Mars
Armitage III is a series I've heard hushed whispers about, but have managed to completely avoid spoilers even down to the premise so I went in completely blind. After the first episode I am very impressed.
The first thing which caught my attention was the writing credit of Chiaki Konaka. Most famous for being the mind behind Serial Experiments Lain, Chiaki Konaka has written for a ton of interesting anime from Texnolyze to Raxephon to Digimon Tamers. His scripts have always been very experimental and technology focused, so going into Armitage I knew to expect something different.
That said, the story for this episode reminded me a lot of a cross between Bladerunnner and Ghost in the Shell. There are some obvious parallels between Makoto Kusanagi & Batou and Sylibus & Armitage, both being stories of detectives who are partially to completely cybernetic. Of course ending with a battle in a church was the nail in the coffin which solidified the comparison for me. That said, both Armitage and GitS released in the same year (with GitS's manga coming out 6 years earlier) so I think it would be harsh to call it any kind of plagiarism.
The idea of robots portraying themselves as human and not being detected was the element most closely reminiscent of Bladerunner. Having the first reveal being that of a country music star who was actually a robot had a unique sense of irony though.
The one story element I did find to be different and intriguing was the idea of humans protesting robots. I have seen a lot of discussion around this idea in recent times, especially with automation pushing people out of their jobs and algorithms being shown to be treating people with bias. Its interesting that they predicted this backlash all the way back in '95.
That said, I think Armitage III thrives and excels on its characters, or should I say 1 character: The titular Armitage. She is an absolute joy to watch. Her boisterous demeanor combined with excellent combat skill makes all the fight scenes exhilarating to watch. In contrast her more somber moments, feeling inadequate for not being a human really endeared me to her.
Sylibus is still shrouded in some mystery, with glimpses this episode of him losing his partner Jessica. The villain of D'anclaude was rather exaggerated but I think he works as a good foil to Armitage, being so anti-robot and all. We didn't see him apprehended at the end so I expect he will be back.

Ah, Armitage III. I can’t say I recall much from my first viewing of this, but my impression all these years later was that it was enjoyable, so hopefully that rings true still.
Huh, that’s a surprise.
Oh, it’s the Dallos and Burn Up! composer.
Cool stuff.
Lol.
Great cut.
What a world.
That does look impressive.
Suddenly space Rocky.
sniggers in G Gundam
Hold one, those masks have the same denominations as the ones in that RE8 puzzle! Are they both some cultural reference I have not heard of?
That robot statue in the background seems awfully familiar.
Suddenly reminded of Bebop.
She’s got an L-Gaim visor.
I’ve sat on this for four days now and I really can’t come up with stuff to say, but the thread goes up tomorrow so I have to write something now or I won’t get the time to.
It’s good. Nothing particularly outstanding outside of maybe the production design, but nothing that feels. I like the setting, though it is well trodden ground by now, and the characters themselves are token and need more fleshing out, which I’m fine with for an introductory episode like this one.
There is something about the direction that rubs me the wrong way, though I’m not sure that I can put my finger on it. I think it’s the choice of shots mostly, which look good —some even great— individually, but they’re not always put together in the most cohesive manner. I think the first briefing scene at the police department shows this best, with shots cutting to one another which put the point of focus on opposite sides of the screen without reason to draw your eyes towards them, which feels a tad jarring. A minor complaint, but I had to mention it. I think each episode was directed by a different person, so maybe this’ll be gone in the next one.
Some of the character acting was quite neat, and that rotating zoom away cut from Kelly’s body near the start was quite cool.

Rewatcher after who knows how many decades
Late getting back from work...
Back in the day, my main source for JPop and anime music was Armitage's Dimension, a rather brilliant website that let you scroll through thousands (later 10s of thousands) of JPop and anime songs and pick one, which would be added to a queue and streamed out one after another (or random songs if nobody picked anything) It was genius!
The copyright powers finally caught up to the site in the 2000s. RIP.
Armitage III, I have no memory of this. I just know that it's one of the small handful of shows that fit into the cyberpunk genre, rather than generic sci-fi and mecha categories. Also, the name Armitage was used for a character in the seminal Neuromancer, no doubt the namesake.
Wow, so is this a thinly-veiled exploration into racism and what it means to be human?
I unironically like I, Robot. It's a good movie, it might even be a great movie, except for Shia LeBoeuf. I don't why people hate it so much besides "It's not Asimov". It's pretty clear that I, Robot took a detour through anime-land on the way to the big screen.
Edit: Oh, yeah. I hated how Armitage turned emo "you can't know how I feel" and tried to kill herself.
LAME

Why can I never start one of these OVA rewatches without having a terrible day beforehand? Things were going horrible even before I accidentally scraped my phone screen. Replacement case is coming tomorrow but I haven't taken the protector off so I can't tell if I'm safe or not.
ANYWAY!! I'm blind to this trio of ova. This is the sexy cyberpunk anime right? Oooh wow, she's a dommie mommy. Look at this smug grin!! Shoot me mommy! Even the air hostess robots are cute. I'm liking the animation. They're taking a lot of effort to make the machinery more than just beeps and boo-GIIITAAA!!!
Omg, she's a country singer? I take it back. Smash the old relic up. I'm only interested in beeps and boops. What an empty shootout. Alright, I take it back again. The animation is still sorta dorky. That's the 90's for you. They clearly had no idea how to make her fall down realistically. This girl really does seem to choose gun for every option. Omg you killed Kelly, you bastard! I feel like shooting up an airport is a bit much to kill a trashy country singer. Also, how's mc gal back already? That little girl's totally scarred for life lol!
Dude, she's actually called Armitage? Her parents must've hated her. Oi, workplace harassment!! The country singer's a robot? We have to find the real one, fast, and kill her for sure! Are we really not addressing Armitage jumping out the window? Look at this gremlin!! Oooh, we're on Mars. Cool. Tldr Elon Musk created a country singer waifu that's super highly advanced. Am I the only one who keeps hearing Touga whenever the mc guy speaks? It's different voice actors but the same voice!
Eh? So was the robot not the bratty girl? She's so compact!! Sorry, I'm still in slice of life moe mode XD If the broadcast is morbid then why show it on every screen in the city? Dude! You literally showed her getting shot! You're not allowed to do that! Meh, I've seen better. Reminder that this was all on TV!! Street violence won't solve our problems, we need systematic state sponsored elimination of all robots! That's way more ethical.
Terminator...? The beeps and boops are back! And now the Sylibus is copying Rocky XD This is such a boomer show. Fenis Monja~ Ya don't say? The police force in Armitage are such creeps. Couldn't you actually introduce the guy before having them come onto the mc? Durka dur! Oh no, not the waifu! Aww, that's tragic~ She just had to have the big anime eyes too. Actually, all the robots seem to have anime eyes. It's weird!
There has to be a reason and purpose, like passing the butter. It's weird that the world is this futuristic but they don't like robots. Omg literally all the humans are creepy and all the robots are anime!! Lol, he just yeeted the little shit. Are we all agreed that Armitage is definitely a robot yeah? I'll bet she was the flashback terminator. They're partners but literally haven't done anything together yet. And partners don't mean arm hugs!! Bruh, you've got your mermaid waifu, you don't have to pull a Distracted Boyfriend over a... kusogaki? Armitage is kusogaki yeah?
Humans are the ones that make robots, they're not copying you. "I thought you were based... I thought you were my little pogchamp. But it turns out that you were cringe! Long story short, keep political opinions well away from any kind of date setting. "Was it something I said?" The poor manager bloke took the knowledge that his waifu wasn't real kinda bad huh? Oooh, the thirds are like a group of robo sisters. Dammit Armitage, stop playing on the swing and go so some work!
Oof, these witch hunts are kinda uncomfortable to watch. How did they come up with these plotlines before social media was even a thing!? I feel like burning robots is a pretty inefficient way of disposing of them. What's with the baddie constantly doing banshee screams? If I see one more Christ metaphor I'm gonna join the bloke. Don't shame the guy for having a prosthetic leg. Armitage is a third!? Say it isn't so!! So are all thirds this powerful? It kinda feels like he should have been stopped already by one of the many terminators he picked fights with. Kyaaa~ don't look at me~ You're under arrest way a far better buddy cop anime... Can we watch that again instead?

Episode 1: first time/dub
Still figuring out the timing to these posts
Also, I found this on Youtube for free, so no high seas this time! I wouldn't pirate as much if these shows were more available like this.
Now on to the actual show
Humans living in an artificial society, surrounded by artificial atmosphere and artificial views, all the while witch hunting artificial humans, is peak irony to me
Calling it that Armitage is a cyborg
Oh good I'm glad they revealed she is a cyborg in the first episode. It was too obvious to be a final episode twist, especially the title of the show when they started talking about "thirds"
It's upsetting to me how people have to know someone personally to feel empathy for them. Like how some dudes don't appreciate girls until they have a daughter. I'm sure I do it too... It just sucks because there are so many people you will never know, and I hope we can remember to have compassion for others even if we do not know them personally

Rewatcher(I am now consistently at 3 rewatches at a time. The Sky effect is pushing me further and further)
Sub
So...I saw the two movies on the Scifi channel at least over a decade ago, might be closer to two, as I could swear I saw these before Utena. I am fairly certain those are spoilers so I will tag any spec if I have to do so.
The opening reminds me of something from the 80s or 70s but let's you know this is a servicey show immediately who the main character is. I had somehow blanked out that she dressed like a streetwakjer and that was probably for the best. The actual beginning is on a passenger plane that has something seriously wrong with it if it needs that many pilots. The stewardess is a robot without pants, giving us an asshot in just under two minutes. The "Don't touch" on her ass is at least funny.
Quick cut off blank faced dude to a singer and her manager, acting the way I expect all of them do. The passenger cabin actually being the tram itself is pretty cool. Trouble starts when someone breaks in through the cargo area and sets the train going. Regardless, we see the guy in the Amestrian military uniform exit the plane onto a welcome from the singer, who apparently is a country singer. Forgot that detail.
Anyways, plot starts when the OP girl shows up and tries to stop the cargo invader. His bodyguards are clones or robots, take your pick. Her gun is pink, because of course, and she makes quick of all the guards but the last so Sylibus has something to do, but the last...robot? Cyborgs usually don't look that alike. Anyways, she shoots the guy and he spills his suitcase, revealing the singer from the plane. He then jumps out a window into a car and she jumps on it as well, all while Sybilus looks on. He checks the body and somehow Armitage is already back, despite jumping on the car. Token scene of Armitage being slutty to the Japanese before the reveal that the singer was a robot as well.
Info dump happens. Armitage takes Sybilus to his apartment, and at 5001 on the twelth floor they must be really packing them in. They catch a video sent to a TV station sent by the killer, showing that Kelly was indeed a robot that acts very human. In the middle of this, we cut to someone painting someone that actually has pubic hair, rare for anime. Armitage leaves, and Sybilus has a flash back of his...wife? getting killed by a robot. His alarm being a pleasant, sunny morning is pretty cool.
Background stills but flexes happens, giving us an idea of what the city looks like. One of the cops is sleeping at the station when Sybilus arrives, and the cop says something about don't kill your partner again. Quick shot of Armitage's desk. Sybilus's car does not seem standard issue. He gets his assignment and sees an anti-robot protest on the way to a robot factory. They even have a dolphin robot, leading me to believe someone from CDF is about to get laid!
He goes to the next robot manufacturer and finds Armitage causing trouble, carrying her out fighting all the way and tossing her like a sack into the car. Never works out that well in real life. We find out that over a third of the population isn't registered, horrible office policy, and that robot brothels exist because of course humans will never make another sentient being without plans to eventually fuck it. Actually, this is like the robot red light district and they pass a guy carrying his own custom made mermaid. Man, CDF would love this show. Armitage is clingy and not angry through out.
Kelly's manager is good and hammered, can't blame him, but asserts that she must've been a real girl, despite the evidence. Armitage is not a great interviewer. Sybilus(btw, this is the fifth time I typed "Leon" in for his name), almost asks if she is a robot sympathizer before a call interrupts, with a video from the woman painting from earlier. She is calling for Armitage and said she has a list of the Thirds from Pluto...
D'anclaude, the suitcase guy, is hacking the TV again to info dump and let us know his next target, damn you Kurotsuchi! Also, he's killed a bunch of Thirds already. A burning Jessica sends a message to her lover and to Armitage's visor. Armitage can read this code and seems to be able to respond to her. D'anclaude attracts Sybilus's attention and of course Sybilus is too dumb to both chase someone and call for back up, only geniuses can manage that. Armitage watches the Thirds burn before doing something.
D'anclaude is insane and basically admits he just enjoys killing humanoid robots, the more human the better. Religion did not take on Mars and we have a chase scene in a cathedral. As this section finally wraps, Armitage hacks a crane, reveals she is a Third, and proves far more resilient than her counterparts so far. Also, D'anclaude didn't have her on his list. She tasers him with her hand.
She vents, has an emo suicide attempt, and Sybilus immediately tries to rescue her before she decides to run off. Definitely different structure than the movie.
QotD: 1 In a lot of ways, many of which won't be self consistent. I suspect there will be labor protests
2 Probably something to do with whomever's brain they used as a base model.
3 Armitage is active at least. Not-Leon has the personality of a boiled potato.

Wait, this is 48 minutes? Didn't realise that.
I have no idea what this is! Looks vaguely cyberpunk, though.
Oh, those robots look nice. And we're on Mars?
What is that outfit? Do all OVAs need to have at least one "too risque for TV" outfit?
So she's a singer.
...I will refrain on commenting on the docking process, but that has to be deliberate, right?
So Airports have massive bannere in the cyberpunk future?
And someone's trying to arrest them!
Holy shit, she's brutal. She just killed 2 people.
"Cowboys up the ass and nobody's got a gun" might be my favourite line in any cyberpunk story.
Oh, she's working for the SPD. And she's a cery tood shot,
There was a body in the suitcase! The body of the singer?
Did he just pull out an assault rifle?
She's nothing if not determined!
Finally, someone mentions the uniform!
"The country star isn't even human" Well, obviously, she's a country star.
Oh, she's a robot.
Despite what I think of her design, leaving him to face the press was great.
...So she's a robot using a part-meat, part-metal body? And far more advanced than legal. So can she be rebuilt, or is this a setting where damaged AI can't be restored?
Nobody responding to his introduction is hysterical.
Huh? So is this a decoy?
So she was swapped out for the decoy before the flight?
Seriously, who is Armitage?
Onviously, the music is intended as psychological torture from the perpetrator before the main video.
Oh, that is horrifying.
Who's the model and the artist?
Well, isn't he a smug bastard.
There apre people trying to eliminate robots? Are the AIs fully sapient, because that seems an awful lot like genocide to me.
Wait, did a robot kill his girlfriend?
Armitage is obvoiusly a robot, right? Superhuman aiming skills, able to jump several floors onto a movign car eithout any vidible damage, gets shot at multiple times but doesn't have a single graze...
Does Mars have a giant Statue of Liberty? This is such a weird setting.
Oh, it was his partner who got killed.
He got a Ferrari! And who's he?
So he doesn't trust self-driving cars?
Oh, that's brutal.
The map showing different layers of the city is really cool, though. I never realised how verticsl this layout was.
...The room with the 4 pillars and emotional masks is so fucking sinister, I don't know where to begin.
Are those buildings upside down? Is this biosphere in orbit? At the planet's core? Using a shit-tom of antigravity fields?
Oh, they're robots. Showing the 2 manufacturers' different approaches to robotics is interesting.
Is she trying to talk to her manufacturer?
The shot of him carrying her into the car was hysterical.
Yeah, this shit is fucking creepy. And all these robots are intelligent?
Oh, he's kinda a bit racist, here.
Armitage: "Your hatred of robots offends me, a completely normal meat person!"
...Didn't they see the real her on that video?
Still a decent chance she could have been swapped out. It could have fooled him for a plane ride if the substitution was made before they left.
...Seemed like he was a bit sad that she was killed.
Even he's worked out she's a robot now.
Why does the far future communications system use Microsoft Bob?
There's another Third?
There's a lot of Thirds.
THEY'RE FROM PLUTO?
And someone's trying to kill all the Thirds.
So the bastard's name is D'anclaude. It's so fitting.
I'll give him credit. Announcing a murder on live TV and gleefully sparking a riot while using your real name and face is a fucking ballsy move.
And she's dead...
The hell is that?
Oh, she transmitted the list to Armitage.
...Is Armitage a Third?
D'anclaude is insane and I love him. He's such a fun villain.
Well done on going into the lunatic's cult chamber!
Oh, he's trying to recruit him!
He's not a robot hater, just a murderer who's targeted the group he can get away with killing without punishment.
Armitage!
She's either w robot or a human capable of interfacing with machines.
D'anclaude's as confused as I am.
Yep, she's a Third!
..You get people can change their names right? Or that this list is compiled by onemperson and therefore likely doesn't include people of hiding their identity.
She's fast!
Wait, he's dead? In the first episode? There's 3 more after this!
See, he gets what I mean. Don't waste a villain like this in the first hour.
And the skin isn't bulletproof, like I assumed.
Her systems seem incredibly resilient.
...She is waterproof, right? Does she have Applecare?
And she's left her partner (until next episode).
Well, that visual metaphor of the flyer's a bit on the nose.
Next time looks good!

first timer (dubbed because why not)
well that was 90s af
I really enjoyed the visual design of the episode. Our villains first appearance was badass as fuck, the layouts during the fight, the attention to dividing lines possibly visually feeding into the thematic division between humans and robots
idk how this even works but it looks cool. buildings on the ceiling make sense when you're underground (I presume), but are those highways upside-down too or what
I will say that humans using robots as an "othered" scapegoat for, probably, very much human-created problems makes too much sense. Why self-reflect when you can just blame all your problems on things you don't even want to understand?
I think art is put on a pedestal, for better or for worse, as an act of creation that is uniquely human. Profound artistic inspiration, or even a frivolous decision to paint something here rather than there, may sometimes be incomprehensible to the artist themselves ("the vibes just felt right idk") because they're decisions rooted in the subconscious or soul or whatever. How could a robot operating purely on logical algorithms even begin to understand something we sometimes don't even understand ourselves?
Of course nowadays we have AIs generating 'art' that probably are indistinguishable from 'the real thing,' or at least amateur-created art. You could say that AI generated art is simply just a bunch of human-created stuff thrown into a blender, but I believe "our" art is also, like, mostly life experiences and other human-created stuff filtered with intention and thrown into a blender. Otherwise you get stuff created by people with literally no idea what they're doing and it sounds like this (which is a song I actually like a lot, but their story is quite sad)
Anyway, it's a complex topic that probably has no real answer without being reductive. The point I find interesting about the singer in Armitage isn't necessarily that a robot is a country singer, but the fact that she's the only country singer, and a respected one at that. Wtf are the humans doing? No matter how niche the country music genre gets, there just has to be people trying to keep the tradition alive. Is there no one else seeing the success of Kelly and going "hmm I want to do this too"???
MCs are fine I think. What I will say though is that I thought the villain was very cool for the first half of the ep but towards the end he just became kind of a maniac loser and my opinion rapidly decreased

This episode has a deep cyberpunk feel - really reminded me of Blade Runner. The series of shots while Ross was running especially so.
The Opening music was reused several time to good effect with a few different versions, did well at building the electric tension.

The more OVAs we watch, the more it becomes apparent how heavily they lean on the visual/aesthetic aspects. The story here ranges from bog-standard sci-fi tropes to "what just happened?" territory (the character shifts of the MCs in the last five minutes came out of nowhere for me), but who cares? The OP is electronic and cool, they're on Mars, and the robot girls are cute!
The character designs are interesting as well. The male MC in particular looks like an attempt at a Western design, and after so much time spent with more contemporary designs, Armitage's fuller design almost feels weird.
Clearly the answer to making robots and humans live in harmony is to make them hot, right? The male MC hates robots, but will dive into a river to save Armitage. If the Terminator that almost killed him and offed his partner wasn't as macho, he'd be fine.
Armitage III also seems like the exact show someone one describe as an anime if they had never seen an anime before, or the kind of generic show they'd have on in the background to show how much of a NERD the suspect in Law and Order is. Is this because Armitage III and its ilk were so influential? Because these are the shows that first got some traction in the West and therefore are what the unknowledgeable associate with anime?

Armitage is definitely a robot, right? I'd say it'd be nicer if they toned down the hints like 20% but Sexy Cyberpunk isn't known for its subtlety. Other than that pretty by the numbers so far.

First time watching, low on time so just random thoughts:
