Parasite Dolls

Parasite Dolls (パラサイトドールズ, Parasaito Dōruzu) is a three-part original video animation (OVA) series produced by Anime International Company and IMAGICA Entertainment, and written by Chiaki J. Konaka and Kazuto Nakazawa. Set in the Bubblegum Crisis universe, the series focuses on a special unit of the A.D. Police known as "Branch". Branch is tasked with dealing with crimes involving humanoid robots called "Boomers". Officer Buzz must cope with having a Boomer for a partner, while Officer Michaelson finds the line between human and robot to be a thin one. Together, they strive to protect a world that is slowly deconstructing around them. Originally released as three half-hour episodes, it was also released as a feature-length movie. Reviews suggest that the series, while not particularly surprising, is a satisfying watch for fans of cyberpunk if expectations are kept in check. Due to its violence and implied sexual themes, it is recommended for mature teens and adults. In the context of *The Irregular at Magic High School*, "Parasite Dolls" refers to humanoid robots created by the Ninth Research Institute that house a parasite inside, primarily for military use.
