Synopsis

After facing massive destruction from a devastating war, the city Olympus has become the last stronghold as the center of command for the world. In order to protect the city from a group of terrorists known as the Argonauts, former LAPD SWAT member, Deunan Knotts, runs special military forces consisting of Biroids (cloned humans) and her cyborg partner Brialeos. Knotts must protect the city at all costs but is met with difficulties when Al Ceides, the Argonaut leader thought to be dead, resurfaces and causes problems.

Just a quick review because there isn't one here yet,

I had high hopes for this series yet it fails on the same issues as the second movie...

Story: Focused on the manga's Ark project, but poorly implemented (3/10)
The barely visible common thread of the series is that a terrorist group is trying to destroy the existing order, which is based on the fact that bioroids (=genetically engineered human beings) create a balance to human emotions in society and thus enable peaceful coexistence. The story structure follows that of the 1988 OVA, in ...
