Synopsis:

The year is 2027, and robotic dreams of the past have turned into a present nightmare with artificial organs turning humans into machines, and advanced AI making androids more like people. With the boundaries of humanity and morality blurring, it's the inhumanity of modern crime that the Advanced Police have to face every day on the dark streets of MegaTokyo - everything from masochistic cyborgs to subway prostitute murders. Will the violence and corruption of the city be too much for new recruit Leon McNichol?

Cyber City Oedo 808

Cyber City Oedo 808 main image

In the year 2808, criminals are no longer just wasting space in prison cells. The Cyber Police have turned to using these “patrons” by giving them a choice. Their sentence, or to work with them to catch other criminals and knock some years off their sentence. But getting off easy isn't, as each criminal is fitted with booby trapped collar that operates on a 24 hour cycle, stopped ONLY if they capture their intended targets. As time runs out on each case, someone's head must roll... the target's, or their own!

Cyber City Oedo is about criminals upholding the law in the future, while AD Police Files is about the police doing their jobs; both have good stories and action. AD Police Files gives rise to a few more recommendations as well (Bubblegum Crash, Crisis etc) but, being a bloke, AD Police is the one to go for - forget about 'feelings', we're here for the action.

Vintage cyberpunk never gets too old to hard-core rabid fans :P!

Thought the graphical appeal and the scientific side could have gotten a tad rusty, they still have plot more complex than most modern show, not to mention they at least deserve to be watched as documents.

At there core, AD Police Files and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex share a similar setting. A future where the lines between man and machine begin to blur, a new law enforcement agency is created to handle situations involving cyborgs and androids.

There are dangerous robots on the loose. We're talking, fighting, blood, explosions, scary cyborg chicks, existential ponderings (kinda) and classy 80s music. Black Magic and A.D. Police are both punk ass and a lot of fun... not suitable for little sisters though.
