Black Magic M-66
One of my friends said recently they'd watched this early Shirow adaptation and enjoyed it, but it had kind of gone out of my mind again until Orgun mentioned it the other day. Although I'd heard the anime was quite different, I'd always been a bit put off by having read a little of the manga years ago and being rather confused by it, but I honestly wish I'd watched this a lot sooner. With most of its brief runtime given over to the central chase, there's not a lot to it, but it was tremendously good fun. It seems like the anime boils everything down into a big, daft, slightly knowing romp through '80s sci-fi genre tropes - kind of like an episode of Stranger Things almost. Some really nice cuts of animation too; I particularly liked the rotation effect when Sybil and Ferris are trapped in the lift.
