Armitage the Third borrows heavily from both Blade Runner and Total Recall to present a humans vs. androids murder mystery set on a Mars of the future. A four-part OVA series was released beginning in 1994, and this manga utilizes the same main characters and setting yet with a slightly different plot line.
