Beauty is only skin deep, but when you can’t see beneath the skin, how can you know what you’re really dealing with? In a world where perfect androids called Boomers have infiltrated every aspect of society, it’s the job of Branch to maintain peace between the people and the plastic. Unfortunately, not all boomers are created perfect, and when boomers go bad, people die. The thin blue line that separates man from machine is about to meet its most horrifying test in Parasite Dolls.
Directed by Naoyuki Yoshinaga, Kazuto Nakazawa, Yasuhiro Geshi

    Parasite Dolls is a good cyberpunk anime but I kept feeling that something was missing. I can't really explain exactly what it is, but I was never completely satisfied with it. There is a lot to like here the futuristic world, the androids, the atmosphere and the whole cyberpunk setting are interesting, and the movie has that very cool late 90s early 2000s anime feeling. It has some good ideas about humans, technology and what happens when the line between the two becomes harder to see. But I think it could have been much better. The ideas are there and the world is interesting but I wanted more from the characters and from the story. It feels like there is a bigger and more interesting movie hiding inside what we actually get. Still, I enjoyed watching it. It is a solid cyberpunk story with some good moments, but unfortunately it never quite reaches the level I was hoping for.
