This is Yasuomi Umetsu making exactly what he wants to make: 30 minutes of a woman carved into something beyond human trying to survive a world that treats her like a weapon. The animation doesn't just move, it breathes and bleeds with every frame, grounding cyberpunk brutality in something that actually feels like flesh being tested against machinery. You walk out wanting more, not because the story is unfinished, but because what you watched was so specifically alive that anything less would feel wrong. The grungy aesthetic isn't window dressing; it's the texture of a world where your body isn't yours anymore, and Ubu is learning what that actually costs.
It's 2099, and medical technology has conquered mortality. Somadea androids let people repair their bodies, live longer, become stronger. But like any power, it gets weaponized. Criminal syndicates illegally modify Somadea units, turning them into superhuman enforcers. The government can't handle it alone, so they opened the bounty hunting market. Anyone willing to hunt down rogue androids can register, collect payment, and keep the streets safer. Catch them alive, dead, or in pieces. Payment depends on results. One bounty hunter takes the job seriously. The pay is good, the work is honest, and someone has to stop the bleeding. But hunting people who are barely human anymore forces hard questions about what it means to use violent tools to protect society. Each hunt brings new complications, new reasons to doubt whether the system actually works. The line between justice and murder blurs with every modified cyborg brought in. For those craving sci-fi action with real moral weight, this is where the future gets uncomfortable.
