Saber Marionette J (セイバーマリオネットJ)
Centuries in the future, after the colony ship Mesopotamia crashes on Terra II, six surviving men establish isolated nations and create emotionless android servants called Marionettes to compensate for their all-male population. When ordinary boy Otaru discovers three special Marionettes with an unusual Maiden Circuit granting them genuine emotions, he faces an unexpected challenge: nurturing their humanity while defending his fragile world from a neighboring country's bid for dominion. His android companions evolve from soulless machines into true partners in his fight for survival.
