Cyber City Oedo 808 Episodes 2 & 3 - It’s a series about 3 macho tough guys solving crimes and fighting their way out of trouble. There’s no overarching plots, just vignettes into these people’s adventures in this cyberpunk landscape. By the end I was really enjoying it.
Episode 2 just has too much going on and the plot just feels like complete nonsense when you actually find out what it’s about. But the climax and the main threat were both very entertaining. Episode 3 is easily the best of the trilogy. It genuinely atmospheric in how it fuses science fiction with gothic horror. You can tell Yoshiaki Kawajiri wanted to do a Vampire Hunter D movie. It’s over the top, ridiculous and just a little bit melancholy. Probably my second favourite work from the director and has me interested in finding more gothic sci-fi.
