Synopsis
Mars 2046: The murder of a celebrity reveals the existence of a secret “Third Type” robot so intelligent and sophisticated that they can pass as humans. The continuing pubic slaughter of these “Thirds” by the hate-spewing D’anclaude fan the anti-robot sentiments of the human population into a firestorm of hate and violence. Assigned to the case, Ross Sylibus and his partner Naomi Armitage uncover a conspiracy of government sponsored murder and forbidden technology that threatens to kill them both - especially once D’anclaude discovers Armitage’s secret: Armitage is a ‘Third’.

Video
The colors in Armitage III OVA are solid, with only a slight trace of grains, hairs, and scratches. Another small problem with the video quality is that cross coloration is scattered throughout the anime. There is also some minor aliasing in the city, and fighting scenes. Jaggies pop up here and there but not enough that you will notice it too often.

Audio
The audio is moderately good in Armitage III OVA. It is Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound enabled and the sound seems to come from all of the directions. There is a small issue with the voice actors mumbling some lines, but they only happen a few times during the course of the anime. The music is good but nothing that we all haven’t seen before. It is a bilingual anime, and the Japanese track is a lot better then the English one.

Packaging
The box is a standard black DVD case. The front cover really got my blood boiling the first time I saw it. It’s a picture of Armitage with her legs spread wide apart, and a very cute smile on her face. The back cover has a brief summary of the anime, running time and a list of the episodes on the DVD including their names. The extras are good and my favorite extra on the DVD is the original covers for the Armitage III OVA. This anime is great and is worth the purchase, especially if you are a fan of the saga
