Armitage: Poly-Matrix (アミテージ POLY-MATRIX, Amitēji Pori Matorikkusu) is a 1996 anime film compiled from the OVA series Armitage III.

Synopsis A policeman, Ross Sylibus, is assigned to a unit on a Martian colony, to find that women are being murdered by a psychotic named D'anclaude. He is assigned a very unorthodox partner named Naomi Armitage, who seems to have links to the victims. To stir things up more, every victim is found to be an illegally made third-generation android, built to be almost perfect replications of humans. It becomes a race against time when the government attempts to cover up the existence of the 'Third Types', and eliminate the only ones with the evidence.

Dubbing History

A year after Animaze released their dubbed version of the Armitage III OVA series, Pioneer decided to edit the episodes together into a 100 minute compilation film for release in theaters. This version of the series featured a completely redone sound design by verteran sound designer Frank Serafine along with the likes of Elizabeth Berkley and Kiefer Sutherland redubbing Naomi and Ross respectively. Most of the voice acting is actually recycled from the original dub of the OVAs, the main exception being Mike Reynolds who was brought in to redub Larry Randolph for voice consistency.
