Synopsis review for Natural City

[Lazy Bastard]

Natural City is a Japanese flick (subtitled in English, if you like), set in the near future. In this time, we’ve created a new kind of…android. They’re nearly perfect; one can hardly tell the difference between one and a human. As such, they’re used as workers and…*cough, cough* personal servants. Our protagonist is a police officer, (military police, it would seem), who’s a member of a group tasked with putting down androids who’ve turned against humanity. The problem: he’s fallen in love with an android (or “doll”, as females are called), and needs electronic components to save her from normal expiration. Despite the more-than-sufficient special effects, adequate acting ability of the stars, and intriguing story, one seems to get a B-Grade feeling from Natural City. However, with three or four additional plot twists and thickenings, it’s definitely worth a watch. Out of five stars, I give it three triangles. Heh.

Lazy Bastard doesn’t have a personal servant, but if he did, it might be an android.
