In the city of Oedo 2808a.d., three Cyber criminals are given two choices, to either rot in jail or to join a special force of the Cyber Police to get possibly one more chance at freedom ever again. For each criminal apprehended, and for each successful mission done, the state will agree to reduce their sentences. Lead by Hasegawa, the new recruits: Sengoku, Gogul, and Benton will bring some hard justice to Oedo and possibly taste freedom again.

Why it matters

A neon-drenched cyberpunk anime that fuses futuristic crime thriller with explosive action and dark humor in a dystopian Tokyo of 2808.

  • Early ’90s animation captures that raw, gritty cyberpunk edge before digital polish took over.
  • Antihero trio’s dynamic blends chaotic camaraderie with brutal justice—think *Akira* meets *Ghost in the Shell* energy.
  • Combines practical sci-fi concepts with over-the-top weaponry and cybernetic mayhem, a playground for fans of body horror and tech noir.
  • Perfect for viewers craving a retro slice of anime that channels urban decay and moral ambiguity through a high-octane, episodic format.
