"I'm half robot too, but I know a true heart when I met one" ........damnit all I can think about is Venom Snake saying that line with his prostatic arm
The plot point of Mars needing their own native population is actually kinda interesting. Especially if they factor in Mars's planetary conditions as a problem point with earth-born biology. Hell, sold as a medical and political need for Mars to be a real stand-alone world that could have been a pretty good direction for the story to follow.
So it was kind of explained in the movie. Earth didn't want Mars breaking away so they came up with the robot wombs... I would say in order to hide them they made them seem very human. So when Harrison Ford shows up and asks them their are you human questions .. well they have a history, their neighbors remember them growing up. If just one day some lady showed up and did nothing but make babies she would stand out. The movie goes on to say that the robots would trigger a war with Earth and Mars wasn't ready for that so they hunted down the robots to destroy them. So in short.. our secret plan worked but it was discovered and now we need to shut it down before anyone on Earth truly figures out whats happened.
I remember a bootlegged version of the OVA sometime ago the Bootleg Edit of the film added more scenes and edited the OVA to make more sense and had a re-dub they re-dubbed by unknown indie voice talent and in the beginning of each OVA said it was a College Project
Any idea what that was called or where it could possibly be found? I think there are a lot of good points to this OVA and I'd love to see it be the best it can possibly be.
Wait, I was under the impression that the angry anti-robot protesters were the ones who set that painter 3rd lady on fire, Billy practically set the wolves on her.
Oddly enough, I checked Armitage III, The Complete Series, out of the public library recently and I liked the OVA and the Second Movie. Kinda feel the first movie shouldn't exist though.
Suddenly there is a "feminist" movement to prevent the creation of sexbot in our current days. So... This anime actually predicted an event that's currently going. Weird.
+Likhos1 If you think that's weird, imagine a 1950's television show that accurately predicted cellular telephones, flat screen televisions, and the potential of equality of nations, races, and sexes in society.
The OAV for this show is much, MUCH better and far more complete. Ignore the 90 minute movie, at least until you've seen the oavs. The movie does have a few scenes the oav series does not, but it is still 50+ minutes shorter...
For all plot points about the thirds being able to reproduce how come none of them seemed to even have any children in the first place? Only one was pregnant and the others seemed to be childless
+Jeffrey Piatt Glad to see someone else remembered Anime Unleashed. TechTV back in the day was the shit. Abenobashi Shopping Arcade and Lain were my faves.
I agree, if they had framed the martian government as being more corrupt, framed the creation of beings like this as a crime, and framed the murders of these beings as a further crime to cover up what they've done the film would have been more resonate. Feminists wouldn't be mad at robots "usurping their biological duty" because most of them think that the idea that women exist to make babies is garbage. They would, however, take issue with creating people with the soul intention of making them have babies, thus why the government would try to cover it up.
+Brian Jensen on the other hand, some women against sex bots argue that such things would allow for breeding of misogyny from men. similar arguments have been made with artificial wombs. that said, i'd appreciate if the controversial topic of feminism was replaced with something else, like a matriarchy.
I still fail to see how this anime is anti-feminist. It seems to just show feminists as part of the overall plot, not painting them as antagonistic, but simply a neutral plot device.
Feminism aside, artificial wombs would partially solve the problem of abortion if you're able to pass the unwanted fetus to another womb. It would raise other problems, like increasing the amount of children in orphanages though, but it could solve that by shipping all those children to mars, it seems.
AnonimusQualquer Artificial wombs would open up some interesting possibilities, but the logistics and consequential ethics of actually developing them make it unlikely that they'll be made any time soon. Prenatal development is a very "sensitive to initial conditions" scenario, so trying to grow humans in an experimental artificial womb would very likely result in a lot of horrible miscarriages. Even if there was plenty of animal testing first.
Gena Trius High rate of miscarriages doesn't sound like a big problem, it sounds just like a normal prenatal development with its 10-25% of miscarriage chances (and the porcentages is on the recognized preganacies, some women miscarriage without even realizing they were pregnant). Chemical pregnancies may account for 50-75% of all miscarriages and no-one complains about their low chance of success. I agree that artificial wombs would bring many discussions, but I doubt miscarriage would be the worst side-effect. Afterall, I commented that artificial womb would be a better option for a woman with an unwanted pregnancy, it's better to risk the art. womb rather than abortion, right? However, I can see art. wombs bringing other problems, like a manufactory of babys for something like organs (there are even books and films about this theme). Or, like in this Armitage III, just send those children to conolize Mars.
+max walter Yeah, Bryan Cranston has done some voice over work in anime before. He was Fei Long in Street Fighter 2 movie and he's also Isamu Dyson in Macross Plus, arguably the best entry in the series.
Given feminist protests about sexbots and artificial wombs and increasing number of crazy stereotypical feminists.... no. I really don't see this plot point too stretched.
Jan Kostrhun Maybe, but hey, let's look at it this way. There's a lot that HASN'T happened in real life after happening in art, right? So let's just say we took it as warning. Yes. Totally.
This really highlights the importance of editing to maintain consistency. Otherwise, anime like this becomes confusing so that no one can follow - *EDIT* - and that's why Angel Cop is actually better than Cowboy Bebop.
Friggen Armitage. Never saw it, but I remember it - it was featured on the cover of the issue of "Animerica" that introduced me to Berserk, and now I can't think of Armitage without thinking of Berserk and my crummy high-school town.
Oh Bennet you poor naive soul. Thinking feminists wouldn’t hate robots that could procreate. Boy did that not age well. Word of advice. Never underestimate the insanity and the hatred of feminism.
I only saw the movie back when sci fi channel had anime saturdays. The movie (or my memory) left out all the stuff about feminism and was just humanity vs robots from the robots' point of view. The series is on hulu+ so I rewatched it and was surprised how different it was from my childhood memories.
Lol this guy seems to be really triggered about the feminist don't want sexbots given it was only mentioned once in the ova and film and has so little to do with the overall plot. The cherry on the top would be feminists nowadays really are trying to ban them irl.
Bennett got a few things wrong but, overall, I agree with his take on the Armitage film. It's hard to explain what it felt like to watch this back in the 90's. It was so unique and, beautiful and, fill us with so much emotion. That ending with the soulful music left us all with tears in our eyes.
On the bright side, this anime franchise did inspire Beast in Black to create my favorite song, "Moonlight Rendezvous," in their third Cyberpunk-centric album "Dark Connection."
It's funny how labeling something as "feminist" or "antifeminist" (or "sexist") in CZcams tends to generate a knee-jerk set of answers mostly about how SJWs are wrong, even if this had nothing to do with the topic of the video. I suppose some people are really easy to trigger.
I'm probably the only one but I feel like this show is just filled with forgotten anime that could be great if they were remade nowadays idk maybe it's just me but I kinda want to see what good versions of this series would look like.
I really want to see how this would fly if someone tries to make a reboot of this. Everyone riots on the anti feminist plot twist, and it will be glorious.
+Mitsuki Horenake I never saw it as really THAT anti-feminist. I mean it's driven primarily by a strong female character, who despite her "baby making" original purpose, plays as a cop and a hero. She may be visual objectifiable, but she has the respect of most of the male characters. The other thirds all are women who have respectable careers (though predominantly in the arts) and prestige. Their "babymaking" wasn't the main characterization in the plot. The reason for the anti-cyborg sentiments is because the predominantly female earth (which has a female president) is making a deal with the primarily male mars (with a male president) to unite the two worlds, under the banner of "Two Worlds, One Humanity" (and this is lifting it almost fucking verbatim from the film). The old Martian government didn't care for it's secrete development of female androids to supplement it's nonexistent female population (which this is where you can debate whether its sexist or not, and to WHOM it is sexist, male or females), which is ASSUMED because when people left Earth for Mars, it's been predominantly men who left. Mars can't survive as a planet with just half the of the human sexes (and unfortunately, it's exacerbated because men don't actually give birth, and from a biological perspective, unfortunately, we're pretty damned disposable compared to females). The whole thing was purely driven by the male/female divide on mars, which, in itself wasn't a criticism of women, (and VERY little actually spoke of Earth or of human females), but on men's impotence without women.. (if there was a sexist message). The other thing missing from this whole "sexist" argument is that it discusses that if it was all about creating female baby machines, then why create male ones (which there are). The answer is that they weren't originally baby machines. They're baby machines created from repurposed assassin cyborgs. And the males still get shafted because they're even more defective than the females and are even more likely to go insane (which the females supposedly may as well, but yeah.. doesn't happen). So Sage is pulling shit outta his ass left and right here to try and take an actually really PRO feminist movie and bitch about it being "sexist"
+Serif Sans Serif well just as an interesting point. one man can impregnate many women, however one woman can only be impregnated by one man at a time. Mars, which has a primarily male populace, wants to be independent and separate from feminist earth. In the the talks of unification the feminist earth has tons of leverage in the deal, and as history has taught us people tend to milk their advantages for all it's worth, which would lead to an extremely one sided agreement. Basically the feminist hate of sex robots is based on nothing more than the desire for power, which honestly reflects the views of the modern SJW feminists, which are feminists in name only. As for selling the idea of unity as a good thing that's actually a really common propaganda tactic used by just about every group at one point or another.
Bennett may criticize the feminism plot point of the feminist government being threatened by the "Thirds", but given the current climate of the world that plot point in this "science-fiction" anime MAY BE more real than he would like to admit. This movie may have inadvertently given us the solution to some of the feminists out there whi have gone off their rocker: sexbots that can give birth! That'll give them a wake up call! Lmao
... am I the ONLY one here who actually fucking loves this OVA/movie? :D 4/5 because 1) awesome female protagonist 2) kickass action 3) sweet love story 4) "feminists haet sex robots"
+Arto Pekkanen 1) Protagonist is awesome... give no shits whether it's male or female 2) yes on the kickass action 3) love story... who can ever deny such things? 4) no interest what "feminists" think. I enjoyed Armitage.
I watched the original OVA on Hulu and rather liked it actually. I'm likely not to watch it again, but I'm glad I did see it at least once. Making the whole thing 90 minutes though is cutting out a whole episode worth of content. How the hell did they even manage it with a plot already so tightly put together? PS: I fucking hate Armitage's "new" voice. What was wrong with the original voice? Seeing how it's just an ass of an edit why not just edit the original?
I beg to differ sage! An android women would be better then some of the women on this god forsaken planet! All the same, the topic of Artificial Wombs is a valid debate. Valid potential future earth outcome? Check~
While Ghost in the Shell was heavily influenced by Neuromancer and manages to carry its torch, Armitage III can only manage to steal the name of one of Neuromancer's main characters.
to be honest with you it's a little hard for me to get too mad at this series as it's the first anime film i ever bought and the first series that introduced me to the cyberpunk genre but I can also acknowledge that looking back on it some of the ideas and concepts in both the film and ova series do kinda make you question the validity after a while
Really hoping you will do the Armitage sequal.......mostly because 1) I got it with the original in a 2 pack and 2) because the original was called "the 3rd" I thought I was supposed to watch the second before it. Same thing happened with Fatal Fury.
I loved this movie and it is entirely because of the german dub (the original one not the SPV version). Yes it choppy edited but I liked it anyway. I even preferred it over Ghost in the shell.
13:42 Anything from METAL GEAR SOLID V in there? 15:59 I try the same thing with January Jones' closet every day, and I'm always disappointed. A friend of mine got me the DVD of this for my birthday, years ago. I still have it on my shelf, but now I'm ambivalent about actually watching it. And not one actual Billy Idol music video clip? For shame!
21:45 I mean...the birth rate and 0 population increase is kinda reminiscent to when the french first colonised North America. For many years, there was no increase in population aside from imigration. To counter this, the french goverment decided that every orphan girl who reached the age of 16 and didn't get adopted would be shipped off to Nouvelle-France and would wed a colonist to bare him children and thus increase the population. These girls came to be known as "Les filles du roy", king's daughters.
*Famous last words:* I'm gong to end up increasingly inspired to create villains for a story based on feminism/social justice, and it's going to take all the skill I can muster to do it well, and I'll still be hounded to an assisted suicide for taking a particular side. The side that creators of entertainment *NEVER* seem to take, only their audience. I wonder how I'll be assassinated...?
For little 14 year old me, who had never seen a cartoon deeper than 90s Xmen, watching this on the Sci Fi channel blew my freakin mind
This was on the Sci-fi channel? I think that I missed that day.
"I'm half robot too, but I know a true heart when I met one" ........damnit all I can think about is Venom Snake saying that line with his prostatic arm

Hell, sold as a medical and political need for Mars to be a real stand-alone world that could have been a pretty good direction for the story to follow.
Did I miss something though? How do robots procreate if they are robots. You can't manufacture a uterus to my knowledge
@@gaminggoof1542 yeah, but we can't build sex robots either. When we can do one, we could do the other
I find the cute pink pistol to be hilarious, in a "haha you died from a pink gun" and it's great. Reminds me of D.Va's sidearm.
So it was kind of explained in the movie. Earth didn't want Mars breaking away so they came up with the robot wombs... I would say in order to hide them they made them seem very human. So when Harrison Ford shows up and asks them their are you human questions .. well they have a history, their neighbors remember them growing up.

So in short.. our secret plan worked but it was discovered and now we need to shut it down before anyone on Earth truly figures out whats happened.
Berkley's performance was excellent for the time. It's a shame she didn't get more voice work.
"And he rapes her."
That's just almost about every villain ever.
ALMOST every villain ever.
I remember a bootlegged version of the OVA sometime ago the Bootleg Edit of the film added more scenes and edited the OVA to make more sense and had a re-dub they re-dubbed by unknown indie voice talent and in the beginning of each OVA said it was a College Project

6:48 - I know it's dumb, but I just love the expression and Elizabeth's I-don't-give-a-shit delivery of that "I 'unno".
A cyborg killed your partner. #notallcyborgs
Remember me Eddy? When I killed your brother, I talked JUST LIKE THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!
First thing that popped into my head.
Wait, I was under the impression that the angry anti-robot protesters were the ones who set that painter 3rd lady on fire, Billy practically set the wolves on her.
Oddly enough, I checked Armitage III, The Complete Series, out of the public library recently and I liked the OVA and the Second Movie. Kinda feel the first movie shouldn't exist though.
+TimmyTheNerd the OVA is made of awesome and win.
It shouldn't the OVA'S we're far better!

Weird.
+Likhos1 If you think that's weird, imagine a 1950's television show that accurately predicted cellular telephones, flat screen televisions, and the potential of equality of nations, races, and sexes in society.
Jojo predicted 9/11. Anime is just so prophetic. Magician's Red CAN melt steel beams.
Except that's a little more "That's creepy and sexist" instead of the issue here which seems to be more of a "THEY TOOK AR JAWBS!" kinda deal.
Likhos1 To be fair, once we start having sex robots that pass for the real thing we are DOOMED.
Look up tl dr sexbot feminism
If the video has a road sign with a cartoon teal deer you found the right one

Wow, now I’m glad I got to watch the original uncut subbed version. It made a little more sense back then.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is what I would say it the original source material wasn't as broken as its patchwork.

Is true, in this OVA, if feminists are not out on earth for majority, the Mars politicians won't have to kill all thirds, that's why.

It would raise other problems, like increasing the amount of children in orphanages though, but it could solve that by shipping all those children to mars, it seems.

I thought it was interesting

I'm a future spaceman from the year 2018. We have artificial wombs, they grow a cow in one a few months ago.
I do wonder if your going to review Dual Matrix sometime
Blade runner meet tumbler that should be a movie
i liked this movie when i was a kid. i saw the ovas later on and understand why the movie was poo
I really Like Armitage III. some of the dialog for Armitage about her identity is heavy handed and rushed as all fuck. But I forgive it for that.
+metallavery Mind you the movie is still garbage.
While Ghost in the Shell was heavily influenced by Neuromancer and manages to carry its torch, Armitage III can only manage to steal the name of one of Neuromancer's main characters.
OK OK I do agree in what you are saying I am sorry and totally agree
20:58 "But I'm not normal, I'm robot"
Because poor literacy is KEWL!
to be honest with you it's a little hard for me to get too mad at this series as it's the first anime film i ever bought and the first series that introduced me to the cyberpunk genre but I can also acknowledge that looking back on it some of the ideas and concepts in both the film and ova series do kinda make you question the validity after a while
Everytime I hear Ross talk I always think of Big Boss from MGSV.
the ironic thing is, the more time goes on the more plausible this plot is. at this point, i wouldn't be surprised what kind of shit happens.
If Thirds are baby factories, why is there a male?
Ghostwriter i feel he was just a side experiment for da lols
Ghostwriter Transgendered robots?
the dense is most likely Overkill
I don't know if the David Ogden Nash is a flub, or a deep cut. I approve even if its the former.
I know this is kinda off topic but i can't wait for MGS 5 and kiefer sutherland to voice big boss!
Considering the feminist outrage over sexbots? This movie is fucking prophetic.
Omg...
When Kiefer Sutherland talks the only character i can see is only Big Boss.
I really don't think that moment was very pedantic. But I guess I'm making up for that now.
I feel like if this becomes relative to Infinite Warfare, I would be hearing a lot of "Mar Aeterum"
Really hoping you will do the Armitage sequal.......mostly because 1) I got it with the original in a 2 pack and 2) because the original was called "the 3rd" I thought I was supposed to watch the second before it.
Same thing happened with Fatal Fury.
Alita from Battle Angel s her sister from another mother
Sage: "Let's just say there is no Brazil on Mars"
Did I heard it right? Is it a reference to Carnival? Just want to be sure.
I'm pretty sure he was just talking about a Brazilian wax. Which I can confirm by that one android in the background he forgot to cover up
Emma Red Thanks, I didn't know that.
AnonimusQualquer No, he meant that the lady didn’t shave her bush.
that was good show 7/10
One thing to say excuse me FIIIISSTTT MEEEE DADYYYYYY!!!!
I loved this movie and it is entirely because of the german dub (the original one not the SPV version). Yes it choppy edited but I liked it anyway. I even preferred it over Ghost in the shell.
13:42 Anything from METAL GEAR SOLID V in there?
15:59 I try the same thing with January Jones' closet every day, and I'm always disappointed.
A friend of mine got me the DVD of this for my birthday, years ago. I still have it on my shelf, but now I'm ambivalent about actually watching it. And not one actual Billy Idol music video clip? For shame!
...Whats up with the glove?
Wait wasnt there a rick and morty ep about this?
21:45
I mean...the birth rate and 0 population increase is kinda reminiscent to when the french first colonised North America.
For many years, there was no increase in population aside from imigration. To counter this, the french goverment decided that every orphan girl who reached the age of 16 and didn't get adopted would be shipped off to Nouvelle-France and would wed a colonist to bare him children and thus increase the population. These girls came to be known as "Les filles du roy", king's daughters.
Population increase in North America or Population increase in France?
@@c-puff North america
this begs the question......how are the eggs produced if theyre androids!?
they can turn any cell into an egg cell in order to clone an animal, its the same thing
*Famous last words:*
I'm gong to end up increasingly inspired to create villains for a story based on feminism/social justice, and it's going to take all the skill I can muster to do it well, and I'll still be hounded to an assisted suicide for taking a particular side. The side that creators of entertainment *NEVER* seem to take, only their audience. I wonder how I'll be assassinated...?
