add recBoth Paraside Dolls and Armitage III are taking place in a cyberpunk world, in which robots and humans coexist. The nature of robots reached a point where they can claim a citizenship like humans, and this question is dealt with through murder cases, and criminal activity.
Armitage III and Parasite Dolls are about androids in a world of humans. In both series you can see a kind of investigations about murders involving robots. Style and plots are on the same level and I think whoever liked one could like the other too.
