Leon walks into cases where artificial humans malfunction and kill. The animation in 1990 had no business looking this cold, this precise, this alive, every frame of violence carries weight because the show refuses to look away from what a boomer death actually costs. This is cyberpunk noir before most anime understood what noir meant, before it became an aesthetic; it understands that the real horror isn't the robots, it's watching a rookie cop discover that integration into society was never the plan, just the excuse.
In 2027 MegaTokyo, androids called Boomers are still a fairly new technology, and fitting them into society has gone badly, at times with deadly results. The Advanced Police exist to handle crimes involving them. After a violent encounter with a Boomer, Leon McNichol joins the force as a rookie and is partnered with veteran officer Gina Marceau. Together they face a rising wave of violent cases that grow more tangled over time, raising hard questions about where humanity ends and the machine begins. The story is a three-episode sci-fi horror thriller set six years before the Knight Sabers appear.
