YMMV / Armitage III

• Complete Monster: René D'anclaude is an anti-robot bigot who helped to develop the Third series of robots. Secretly working for a Government Conspiracy and despising the Thirds, D'anclaude designs a host of assassin robots in his image to murder them. Starting a serial killing spree of Third women, D'anclaude intends to inspire a wave of anti-Third violence, even resorting to suicide bombers to enhance the anti-robot sentiment.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: This anime was as many other cyberpunk anime from that decade hugely influenced by Blade Runner. And now, the Blade Runner sequel Blade Runner 2049 features a plot about androids secretly being able to bear children, similar to Armitage.
• Squick: Ross knockin' boots with Armitage wouldn't be a problem, if he wasn't nearly twice her height, combined with the fact that she looks all of 13-14 years old. Or the fact she winds up pregnant with his child, by the time the series ends.
• Values Dissonance: Depending on the interpretation one takes, the background plot can cause this. Japan (at least at the time of the series' production) had a falling birthrate and was very uncomfortable with that fact, and had a well-entrenched conservative movement who blamed the falling birthrate on the promotion of "women can be things other than homemakers" by feminism. Thus, the plot of the series: The Greater Scope Villains, the Straw Feminist Earth government, threaten The War of Earthly Aggression — and send assassins/saboteurs to Mars — because they fear the loss of political power that will follow if Mars' Thirds successfully manage to combine the roles of Sex Bot and Uterine Replicator, thus meaning men will abandon human women for quiet robot housewives instead. Whether or not the fears of the government are accurate or just an attempt to maintain power are left to the viewer.
