Synopsis
2179: Mars has been colonized by Earth, populated by humans and 'Second Types' robots - robots designed to perform the menial tasks humans won't do. Then there are the 'Third Types' - illegal humanoid robots designed by a nationalist force to look and behave exactly like humans - living undetected among the Martian population as citizens, until one man, Rene Danclaude, declares war on the 'Thirds,' starting a massacre in a vow to destroy them all. That's where she comes in. She's Naomi Armitage. A cyber-punk Martian cop in hot pants, with an attitude as deadly as her gun. She's also a 'Third,' and her fight against D'anclaude is a fight for her survival. Her partner, Ross Sylibus, lost his partner at the hands of a cybernetic killer and hates robots. Ross must face this prejudice when he is injured and received cybernetic limb replacements, bringing him closer to becoming one of the monsters he abhors. He begins to realize that being human is more then just flesh and blood and joins Armitage in her fight against D'anclaude and her quest to discover the mystery of why the 'Third Type' was created. Armitage and Ross are brought together in a bond of love and hope as their journey uncovers a secret that could destroy two worlds! This is a story about technology and emotion. About hatred and love. About a human on the verge of becoming a machine and a machine on the verge of becoming a human. It is a story of survival.

Video
The video quality in Armitage III Polymatrix is an amazingly clean, clear and crisp. I watched through the entire anime three times and saw nearly no cross-coloration, or macroblocking. The colors are vibrant, the picture is sharp, and the glare on the characters is amazing. The animation runs very smoothly and I believe that some cg was incorporated into the anime.

Audio
The audio in Armitage III Polymatrix is also great. It is Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound compatible and the sound comes from all of the speakers. The voice cast is on the famous side, and they all deliver a great delivery of their lines. The audio is crisp and clean. Both the English and Japanese tracks have the same amazing music and sound affects.

Packaging
The packaging is awesome. It comes in a raised foil cover with the letters A R M I T A G E letters raised up. The front cover sports a picture of Armitage crouched down with a gun in her hand. In the background is a mural of pictures. The back cover has a brief summary of the anime, and some pictures from the animation itself. There is an "Assembling Armitage" extra on it, witch is amazing. There are also previews, credits and some more goodies. This anime is amazing! I pity the fool who doesn’t buy this anime, I do, I do.

Personal Opinion
