Armitage III English Sub & Dub

About Armitage III

If you are hunting for a new action series, Armitage III (アミテージ・ザ・サード) deserves a look (1995). The setup goes like this. At its core: The year is 2046. Detective Ross Sylibus is transferred to Mars when a country singer on his flight is murdered.

Next up: Making matters more complicated is that the singer is a "Third"—a robot that looks and feels like a human. Sylibus is partnered with Armitage—a beautiful female cop with a bad attitude. As they investigate the murder of the singer and other women on Mars, they uncover a conspiracy that can have them both killed by the Martian government.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Naomi Armitage (Hiroko Kasahara) and Ross Sylibus (Yasunori Masutani) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 4 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
