Armitage III

Personally i think that Armitage is one of the best anime’s ever made. It is a real pity that most people don’t share my opinion. And to tell you the truth, i liked the sequel too. Sure the storyline may not have been as much fun as the original, but i really enjoyed it none the less.

Hi Steve, I agree - Armitage II is terrific. I didn’t feel the same way about the sequel though. I thought the story was significantly less well thought-out.

I agree with both of you. I thought that the sequel not only didn’t live up to the original but was pretty bad all on it’s on. But if you enjoy it that’s all that matters.

When I was 14 I was absolutely in love with Naomi Armitage. Now I’m 23 and I still love her (she sat on the shelf for 7 years) until I watched it again. I’m glad to see other people love her just as much, it makes me feel less weird. Even my email is related and I’ve kept it for many years now. Seeya!

Armitage III is fantastic! A MUST see for those who enjoyed Blade Runner or even the Animatrix. It’s a shame the sequel was so horrible.

Hi Jonathan, Armitage is a good anime chick to have a crush on at 14. She’s complex, cool, and full of life. Glad you stopped by.

And yeah Adam, I agree, the sequel was really a huge drop-off.

Awesome anime and the sequel isn´t that bad after all.

Sure the storyline is rather weak but I still like it.

I didn’t get the whole Yohko thing in the sequel, but liked some of Naomi’s intereactions with people.

The Japanese influence in the people and culture, in what is very obviously an American influenced city is interesting. The first movie (I haven’t seen the OAVs) was great, I love the 80’s-ness of the music and bought the soundtrack.

Armitage the Third is still of my most often chosen introductiory shows.

Hi Will It Work, the OAV is worth seeing, but not critical if you’ve seen the movie version. You miss about 10-20% of the content and have a different ending, but the dubbing is good and it still works.

That said, I can’t agree with TheAwakener - the sequel is a real drop-off storywise. The visuals are good though.

OVA > Movie

Call me a weeaboo but dubs suck.

Well as I said the storyline of the sequel is weak but I like how the relationship between Naomi and her child is presented.

The first anime I ever saw. So I am rather bias in my opinion of Armitage III, I think it is fantastic. A lot of people don’t share my opinion because of the cost cutting animation, but it’s the story and characters that grasped me. And by God when I was a kid I completely fell for Naomi!

My first venture into anime and by God did I enjoy it. I was only about 12-13 maybe? But I fell in love with Naomi Armitage. I understand that some of the animation is pretty low budget, that their cost cutting measures are pretty plain to see and this annoys people, but the story and the characters grasped me and I’ve loved this film ever since.

..:Armitage wasnl’t the first anime I saw, but it was, and still is, in my opinion, one of the coolest. It was this movie that made me take a second look at anime, and now my friends think I should stop watching so much of it (as if, ha ha).
..:I’m only 14 (I’ll be sixteen in a couple o’ months), but I know something cool when I see it, I’m sure. And Armitage is cool.
..:And yes, Will It Work, the soundtrack is 80’s-ish, but that’s why I like it. I can’t comment on the Sequel, Dual-Matrix, though, because I haven’t seen it. To each his own, I guess…

I’m too old for this to be my first anime, but Armitage is probably the best Ova ever made. The last epsiode(4) did not live up to the others but still a must see.
I have the artbook and love the designs. The Matrix stole quite a bit from this work. Cyberpunk should have a big comeback soon…

k stabbing her self is hot i masturbate over her every night oops i let some out ill get my sister to clean it up
any way i love your show and ill keep on masturvating on this site

amazing movie. i dont like polymatrix though because the actors were next to dead in the emotions. dualmatrix was OK but i didnt care for the 3d animation, not to mention the storyline is weak and armitage looks about 10 years older.

@gimpy: The voice acting and removed scenes were probably the only two things that I didn’t like about Poly-matrix. I prefer the OST any day.

I think the series started dropping after the OST. It was fine where it was, but I’m glad Dual-Matrix was released.

I watched Armitage III yesterday, still a good Anime.

Armitage *was* ten years older in dual matrix. hence the fact she had a … ten year old daughter.

agreed, the OVA was hands down the best anime in the existance of anime’s. and Armitage is the hottest, coolest chick ever.i Just want to see more hot Cyber punk girls with her style. i’m just saying.

muy sangriente y a AC1DST4R gimpy said:los odio

paola gomez no odie a la gente

googled it, finished, didn’t like it. Especially at start, the speech, the fights. I found the ending kind of lame. But i liked how Armitage’s character developed and while the story is thought it’s not hard to follow. It’s worth a shot if you don’t have high expectations.

Could someone tell me what is the difference between Poly Matrix and Dual Matrix? Or there more than one Armitage anime? Confused.

Thanks.

@skyline
there is 1 anime (4 parts) and 2 movies (poly matrix and dual matrix) (you can check it here http://www.animenfo.com/animetitle,49,ijerxd,armitage_iii.html)

Cheers!

The one with 4 parts has Kiefer Sutherland and Elizabeth Berkley as the voice actors in the dubbed version? How many mins is that? I’ve seen 95mins, 90 mins and 140 mins on some sites. I guess the 140 mins includes the 1 anime and the 2 movies in one set?

Thanks again!

will watch asap ,looks and sounds amazing !
