The 3-episode OVA Parasite Dolls is now streaming on HIDIVE, offering both English dub and subtitle options. This entry in the Bubblegum Crisis universe centers on the AD Police's specialized Branch unit, which tackles crimes involving advanced humanoid robots called 'Boomers'.
Animation by AIC brings to life a narrative that probes the philosophical divide between humans and artificial intelligence. The story follows officers Buzz, who is partnered with a Boomer, and Michaelson, who grapples with the increasingly thin line separating organic and synthetic life in a decaying urban landscape.
As a self-contained story within the broader A.D. Police: To Protect and Serve narrative, Parasite Dolls delivers a focused, mature exploration of cyberpunk themes and the nature of consciousness.
