Cyber City Oedo is the only good cyberpunk anime, and only if you watch the dub.

Really cool cyberpunk show and I hope it doesn't turn to poo poo during the next 5 or so episodes.

It gets dumber as it goes on and has no ending because one of the companies that co-owned it tried to sue the other company. I guess it's still watchable though.

Haven't seen it in years and the only thing I can remember about it is it had a guy on a bike, so pot luck, I guess?

Being complex and being nonsensical is not the same thing.

However, being the former isn't always a good thing and the latter isn't always a bad thing.

This can't be said enough. The English dub is rad as hell, because every other word is a four-letter swear. And it's just an all around cool show, because Yoshiaki Kawajiri is a guy who knows how to make b-movie anime better than just about anybody else.

Kawajiri was legit the best schlock anime director of the 90's (though a couple of his movies got a bit rapey at times), it's a shame he hasn't directed anything since that weird Highlander anime move in like 2007.

Ninja Scroll actually made one of my friends feel physically ill when we first watched it in the mid-90's, my response was 'man, you should totally watch this' and made him watch Genocyber.

Genocyber seriously owns and I will defend it to the grave

The first episode of Genocyber is actually seriously good, it's creepy, surreal and depressing, it uses techniques you don't often see in anime, like cutting to live action for some bits. Episodes 2 and 3 are okay gorefest trash. Four and five don't exist.

For a laugh check out the Genocyber manga that was canned after one volume (if not less), it's the the the most generic shounen costume hero crap ever only with super gore.

Something I've always wondered was if that stuff is actually funny to Japanese audiences, and there is a cultural boundary there, or if gags like that are equally unfunny everywhere.

someone sure sounds bitter about being short
