Movies like Armitage III: Poly Matrix

Armitage III: Poly Matrix (1996) is a 1990s Japanese-influenced cyberpunk animation that restates noir procedural concerns through an investigation of murders involving illegal third-generation androids. It stages that police mystery with neon-drenched visuals and high-contrast chiaroscuro, privileging forensic beats and partner friction over action spectacle to probe personhood. The film argues that technological personhood and legal culpability are inseparable practical problems for a noir-inflected justice system.
