I remember owning the 1995 Japanese Anime mini-series "Armitage III" on VHS back in the day. And I have to say that I rather enjoyed it back then, and when I had the opportunity to sit down and watch it digitally here in 2023, of course I jumped at the chance to do so.
And I have to say that the storyline is every bit as enjoyable, entertaining and watchable today as it was back in 1995. And it was nice to return to the mini-series and watch it again, getting it freshened up in my mind. I only vaguely remembered the entire plot, to be honest.
Writer Chiaki J. Konaka and director Hiroyuki Ochi put together something quite unique and enjoyable when they made the Manga into an Anime. Granted, I've never read the Manga, so I don't know how true they were to the material from Manga writers Zarae Otana and Tatsuya Ikegami. Regardless, this 1995 Anime is definitely good entertainment.
The character gallery in "Armitage III" is also rather nice. The characters are nicely detailed and fleshed out on the screen, pardon the pun.
The art in "Armitage III" is good, with lots of nice details and good colors. And it is also rather nicely animated, which makes it a very dynamic Anime to sit through.
If you haven't watched "Armitage III" already, and if you enjoy cyberpunk, then give it a go if you get the chance to do so.
My rating of "Armitage III" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
