@Courtesy of Anniplex USA In the 1970s, they would have called Ubu Kamigori “bionic.” In the year 2099, she can be described as a biological-hybrid android reconstructed with Somadea technology. Regardless of the terminology, Kamigori did not ask for her new “enhanced” condition. Her new boss definitely took some creepy liberties, which is why their…
