Synopsis
Android detective Gesicht hunts a killer targeting elite war robots, threatening human-robot society's fragile peace.
Gesicht, an android police detective of Europol, is tasked with finding the murderer of Montblanc, a retired war hero robot. Although it appears that only a robot could have committed this crime, the murder of a renowned robot rights activist casts doubts on the criminal's identity. Indeed, outside of an isolated and unexplained incident that occurred eight years ago, robots are programmed to be unable to kill human beings. However, the lack of human evidence on the crime scene and the similarity of modus operandi lead Gesicht to suspect that the two murderers might be the same being—be they man or robot. Shortly after Montblanc's passing, another retired elite war robot is mysteriously eliminated. Gesicht notices a pattern in the choice of murder victim: both dead robots belonged to a group of the seven most powerful war machines ever designed. Determined to stop the murderer from eliminating the five remaining veterans, Gesicht seeks help from Atom, a cutting-edge android who resembles a human boy. The duo must now hunt down the rogue killer before the series of murders is carried on, lest the very fabric of society suffer irremediable damage.

- 7/10 “Slow pacing good Sci-fi, mystery, thriller but not for action; The plot is unique and It has good animation too but less action than expected. Mystery is the only thing that will keep you engaged...”
- 8/10 “I'm so glad this exists. This really scratched the itch I had for a more serious well produced seinen. The manga is the lovechild of Noaki Urasawa and Osamu Tezuka and the care in making this...”
- 10/10 “This series is the golden standard for Netflix original anime, featuring an amazingly complex, emotionally resonant story brought to life with immense passion in both the animation and voice...”
