cyberpunk anime with guts and griffith

Cyberpunk is kinda losing its appeal, the closer we're coming to living it ...

Uhhhh, blame! fits the bill. I’ve recently started reading it after stumbling upon the movie. This might sound like low praise, but I can’t figure out any other way to describe it without trampling over some facet of its mystique. It’s worth the time

Right? I love cyberpunk but it’s not fun we got the shitty cyberpunk dystopia and not the awesome one with cybernetics and neon

It was a nice time, a simpler time

Harems. Same as it ever was. (Same as it ever was.)

Perfection

And religious imagery.

Cyberpunk had always been dystopian tho. The point of dystopia is that it looks like utopia until you're in it.

That was the joke, we got the really shitty one

"VHS"

I still got some on LaserDisk.

TEEEEEEEEEEEEEETSSSUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOO

CANNNNNNNAAAAAAAAADAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

See you space cowboy...

what's the blue spider as the bottom left? I swear my parents watched this when I was like 8 and definitely not ready for it

Is Tekkaman technically mecha? It's armor, not a big robot like Gundam/Macross/Patlabor/Zeorymer/Escaflone

🇨🇦

I think it's from Wicked City, it's an anime movie from 1987

time for a rewatch

Also androids, Androids everywhere.

But DBZ was the biggest of the 90's.

I'm right in the middle of watching Neon Genesis Evangelion...

Yeah.

Just re watched ghost in the shell the other day Hell yeah.

Goku was naked a few times

A new Patlabor anime can't come soon enough.

And right at the end of this era and somehow hitting the bullseye of all the tropes while also being a meta commentary on them:
The Big O

Anyone else remember trying to catch anime on the sci-fi network on Saturday mornings? It never seemed to start at a consistent time and it was usually Vampire Hunter D.

Back before anime was even close to mainstream and hardly anything was translated.

Androids with boobs

I recall he had a giant mecha buddy at some point

I want to go back and watch Tank Police

freaking sick brah

Yep- starts out like guyver, but the main character can’t properly transition so he needs a robot buddy as assistant (and cannon platform)

i wish i had known the trick was to stay up late friday night.

yeah, we're supposed to get cybernetic upgrades not cybernetic downgrades dammit

God at least some shadowrun action right? I want trolls with autocannons and gnomes hacking into megacorps - not ketamine addicted techbro cybernazis

Urotsukidōji enters the chat to comment on nudity ...

lesbian game night has consisted of goblin with a fat ass in between rounds of frosthaven so mashing all three of those canons (a shadowrun goblin with a phat ass in frosthaven, shown by standing next to one of the crab people i guess? that's how it was in my brain use your own imagination it'll be more fun) just gave me quite the dopamines. thank you.

I would like to subscribe to your newsletter

i'm not sure you would. it gets scary when i'm crashing out.

Urotsukidōji

"erotic horror manga" is something i didn't expect to exist. i constantly underestimate the japanese.

That just makes it even better!

He wasn't the only one.

That's just a chronic infection

Congratulations!

AND?! what's wrong with starting out with these perfectly viable/plausible plot and visual design concepts? If anything that medium was prescient. People be asploding Neo Tokyo on the regular now in their tiktoks for the memeslingery.

What's the nudity one from? When I was very young, I caught about two minutes of an anime on public television in a different language.
Did a dude knight climb up the tower wall, see her, and almost fall off? Is she changing the dressing on an arrow wound?
I didn't really discover anime for over a decade after that so I might be misremembering the art style altogether.
But I sure filed it away as "Something Interesting".

An easy excuse to get that nudity tag while somehow arguing its better cause they are plastic.

Holds up really well, re-watchied it a few years ago.

that's the good shit right there

Finding the source was a bit complicated, but it seems to be from episode 7 of DNA², the description of which does not match what you remember: https://web.archive.org/web/20120621103752/http://www.hinata.xpg.com.br/paginas/index2.php?page=[RaFa][FiLsk]%2Fdna2.html

Motokooo!
