Armitage III (アミテージ・ザ・サード Amitēji Za Sādo?) is a 1995 cyberpunk original video animation series. It centers on Naomi Armitage, a highly advanced "Type-III" android. In 1997 the series was then edited into a film called Armitage III: Poly-Matrix (アミテージ・ザ・サード POLY-MATRIX?). It was redubbed into English.
The series was followed up in 2002 with a sequel, Armitage III: Dual-Matrix (アミテージ・ザ・サード DUAL-MATRIX?) set some years after the original story.
In 2046, the overpopulation of Earth has led to the colonization of Mars—with the aid of the "first type" androids, men were able to begin terraforming the unfriendly environment of Mars and build the city Saint Lowell. Seventy years after the start of colonization, the city is completed and inhabited by great numbers of people and "Second type" robots, much improved versions of the "First types". Ross Syllibus, a middle-aged policeman from Chicago, flies to Saint Lowell using a space shuttle. Syllibus asked to be transferred to the Martian Police Department to escape from his past and haunting memories of his previous partner being killed by a robot. At the Saint Lowell's space port he is to meet his new partner—a young woman named Naomi Armitage.
