Format:DVD
When I saw this excellent series on TV it was shown as a single movie. Plus the TV version had an amazing soundtrack to it. This version has the original Japanise soundtrack. That's good if you happen to like that kind of music. I preferred the translated version.
This DVD also has the original Japanise graphics. So all the computer monitors in the movie are showing text in japanise.
All this included it's still an amazing piece of animation with great stories and great characters. And the Japanise text and music does not alter the fact that this is an excellent example of Anime.
I only give it 4 stars because of the lack of DVD features.
Also, it's kinda fun to watch the sub-titles. They are a direct translation of the original Japanise script that was trashed when it came over here because it was so darn cheesey. It adds a differant twist to the images.
I just thought it was kinda fun to watch ;-)

Format:VHS Tape
Without doubt Cyber City represents what a top quality cyber-punk manga oav should be like. It's characters are all memorable, decent villains, pretty good quality dubbing/animation etc. However although it IS A CLASSIC that every manga fan should have, it does have numerous faults. I felt the character development was pretty much non-existent, with such well created characters it was a shame that we didn't learn more about their pasts. The three stories seem pretty dis-jointed, personally thinking the third story being the weakest. In conclusion a great manga film that stands the test of time, a personal favourite but many better films out there

Format:VHS Tape
Three cyber criminals (one a psychobilly, one a computer hacker and one a transvestite ninja) are hand-picked to pose as an elite crime-fighting force in the Japanese mega city Oedo in the year 2808. Each has their own skills, a list of convictions as long as a roll of Andrex and a starring role in their own episode. And the villains are mean. _Really_ mean.
This has to be the best anime I have ever seen. It's glamourous, dark, atmospheric, fast moving, action packed and features some blinding animation. The third is definitely the best episode, but the others are also exceedingly good. Plus, it has something many Japanese animes lack: Charisma

Excellent & Enjoyable
I was intrigued by the music video to Nero's Innocence on You Tube and, after some research, found the clips to be from the final episode in this 1990 Manga trilogy. Read more
