CYBER CITY OEDO 808-1991-In the bleak future of 2088-three career criminals
are used by the Cyber Police to fight crime in exchange for reduction
in their sentences. They wear electronic collars on their necks so
they can be controlled. This OVA series consists of three stories,
each featuring one of the trio: Sengoku, a foul mouthed misanthrope,
Gogol, a hacker with a Mohawk and the androgynous Benten. Their boss
is police chief Hasagawa.
In
the first story “Virtual Death”, Sengoku has to save 50 thousand
people trapped in a city skyscraper after a computer has taken over.
The second story “Psychic Trooper”, Gogol gets involved with his
female ex-partner who hacked some information from a government
computer and an experimental cyborg. In the third “Crimson Media”,
Benten investigates the murder of three scientists and battles a
female vampire.
This
cult cyber-punk anime was directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri soon after
DEMON CITY SHINJUKU. It's often lamented by fans because no sequels
were ever produced.
Thanks for reading!
