Customer Reviews of Parasite Dolls
Tales of Mechanical Flesh Parasite Dolls is a set of three episodes set in the same Mega-Tokyo that has played home for Bubblegum Crisis and the AD Police. There 'boomers,' humanoid robots, are much of the workforce, driving the trucks, doing the hard word, and even being surrogate partners and playthings. It is a divided world, some becoming dependent on the robots and some hating them for their imitation of life. <

>Boomers don't always stick to their original programming. The first episode tells of several that came from the Genom Corporation robot plants with a deadly flaw. And an effort to correct them that is just as deadly. The second is about a monster set loose among the sex dolls to work revenge. Once again the cure is worse than the crime. <
> <
>This imbalance comes to a head in the final episode, where crazed politicians play on the fears of the anti-robot fashion to trigger and apocalyptic ending. While the other episodes are cynical, this story is genuinely nourish, leaving the viewer unsure if there is any hope for the future. <

>Mega-Tokyo stories, which are often bleak, focus more on violence and action rather than narrative. As such the atmosphere is often seems as artificial as the boomers. Sort of a mechanical version of the 30's, set 100 or so years in the future. This goes for artwork as well as acting. This has become a style of its own, and Parasite Dolls is a perfect example of this eerie anime noir.
You need another $20 already?!?
The animation focuses mostly on detailed facial expressions which is cool and different. There is a lot of back-story, however, which leads to a lot of conversational scenes where action is limited.

>Also, as my title reflects, there are only three eps on the disc. I've been bummed before when getting four eps instead of five on discs and held my tongue. Three is just not enough. Either give some REALLY sweet extras or put more eps on the disc or lower the price.

>Finally, ep3 has one of,if not THE, most grotesque scene I've ever witnessed in anime or any other media. (read S&M snuff-scene). To each his own, and I'm no prude, but this one was out there.

>What the heck, though...it's only a cartoon , right?...and she was just a Boomer after all, right?
