Synopsis
The technology to create powerful cyborg soldiers has been released for public use by the Berühren Corporation. Those outfitted with robotic parts are known as the Extended. Juuzou Inui, one such Extended, was created as a soldier and has no memories of his former life. But now, after the war, he runs a business that takes care of Extended-related incidents around the city.

AI Synopsis
AI · OriginalA gun-headed detective unravels a corporate conspiracy.
Post-war streets crawl with the Extended — cyborgs repurposed from battlefield to civilian life. Juuzou Inui, a gun-headed enforcer with no past, runs a cleanup service for Extended incidents. A crashed giant carrying a child drags him into a conspiracy rooted in Berühren Corporation's labs. The kid isn't cargo; she's a key. Madhouse delivers gritty neo-noir: rain-slick alleys, corporate rot, and a protagonist whose face is literally a weapon. Juuzou's amnesia isn't a plot device — it's a wound the world keeps reopening. The Extended aren't monsters; they're victims commodified by war profiteers. Each case peels back another layer of institutional rot, connecting street-level thugs to boardroom architects. The action is brutal and tactile — hydraulic hisses, metal screams — but the series saves its sharpest edges for quiet moments: a child's drawing, a shared cigarette, the weight of a promise made to a dead man. Justice here isn't victory; it's witness.
