Synopsis

Mars has been colonized and is a world where children have been replaced by robot servents known as 'dolls'. Layla is a skilled fighter with a tragic past who travels about the world. Her companions are Nei, a strange and unique doll with some unknown ties to Layla, and Speedy, who is a doll breeder. The founders of Mars see the trio as a threat to their world, and each time they attack Layla and Nei a bit more of their mysterious past and future is revealed.

Recommendations

If you liked the action-packed episodes of Avenger, then you might just want to check out Claymore. This has all the action of Avenger, but all the extra episodes -- meaning more character development and a more drawn out plot -- that you wished Avenger had. Get ready for girls with swords kickin slicing up things left at right at the speed of. however fast animators can draw. enjoy =]

In both shows, the main characters are powerful, non-busty female fighters traveling about barren landscapes. Layla from Avenger is a bit older than the girl in The Third, but there are some similarities in their quiet, intense personalities and graceful fighting styles.

Sometimes you wonder about the 'Why?' of things. For example, why make a movie that will bore the audience to tears? Why bother writing a book if you're going to write poorly?

If you want a quick, no-nonsense action anime, Avenger is your ticket. People looking for good character development and a fleshed-out story will be fine skipping on this.

The story on this one is relatively stripped down and straightforward, though it unfortunately gets a little derailed and doesn't do much to answer many questions or present a complete ending. However, like I said, if you're looking for ac... read more

Story
Kind of cliche post-apocalyptic sci-fi in a far future. Mars is colonized by men. But the fabric of society is torn, it is all deteriorating. The new martians have a hard time struggling for survival. The remnants of the original settlers, a kind of 12 "olympian gods", are the rulers, notably the tyrant Volk, who is aware, somehow, that their time has come. The society is fated to collapse as children cannot be born anymore — these have been replaced by androids call... read more
