<p>In the 1984 anime series Super Dimensional Calvary Southern Cross, there are some alien mechas called "bioroid/bioroido/bioloyd" (depending on the translation) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NdQyWewB7A" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Bioroids SDC</a>. In Appleseed there is an artificial species called bioroide <a href="http://appleseed.wikia.com/wiki/Bioroid" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Appleseed Bioroid</a>. And apparently in this anime I don't know <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqLNTSDoSCg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Armitage III</a> there is also a song called Bioroid so I assume there is something called Bioroid in this anime. Where does this word come from? Does it come from anime, does it come from japanese or does it come from sci-fi? Personally I've only heard it in japanese animes. </p>
