Genocyber

This movie pushes the limits as to what anime fans can tolerate violence wise. Mr. Ohata seems to have a fascination with killing kids and teenagers in this movie. Any plot that is presented is immediately forgotten due to scenes of graphic violence. Beyond that, it's hard to grasp what the point of all this destruction is anyway. I have a feeling people could just barely tolerate the 1st episode, but many people have expressed great displeasure at the beginning of the 2nd episode where children are shown being graphically shot to shreds and could not watch beyond it. It's worth a look for fans of violent and gory anime, but be warned about the content!

Now I'm a fan of a spot of the ol' ultraviolence so I was loving the gruesome and horrifying images in this anime. Seeing kids getting mowed down in the most violent way possible doesn't bother me like it does some of the more sensitive of you out there.

The plot barely makes any sense, and yet I was captivated most of the time in a way that's hard to describe. I've never seen anything quite like this anime. It definitely gets points for creativity even if what they created is a narrative mess. Genocyber has a lot of atmosphere some great animation and great score, but it makes little sense overall. Also the last 2 parts looked like they were done by a different studio (apparently they ran out of budget and it shows)

A strange one but if you like ultra gore like me you'll probably love it too.

I cannot understand why this anime is getting canned. I loved it its great fun, how can anyone dub akira a masterpiece and say this anime is bad.

There is a story, there is gore, the anime is good same has all anime back in the early 90 not sure why they say the animation is bad, its actually great.

Don't believe the very bad reviews this anime is worth a look its also 2hrs and a half long.

The movie is great!Action,mechalike vajranoids,good plot and lots of criticism with a clear message.It is not too complicated so it isn't difficult to follow the plot.

It is quite bloody though,and it is nothing compared to "AKIRA" or "Ghost in the Shell".The animation technique is middleclass and it is quite long.

I recommend watching this film because you will probably like it and you really won't feel like you would be wasting your time.

Genocyber's plot is confusing to say the least. It seems like there's an actual story hiding somewhere, but in an incomplete state (which is exactly the case for the manga this OVA was adapted from). The OVA is divided into three barely-connected parts. The plot, what little there is, is told through vague exposition which just feels like an excuse for the nightmarish imagery we're about to see. This show is full of graphic violence (which is the only reason it's remembered), but said violence is never justified. Bad things happen to innocent people just so the good guys have an excuse to get violent and the bad guys create carnage just for the sake of it. Who works for whom? What was the point of all that carnage? Never answered. There are also moments of jaw-dropping insanity in the form of cyborgs that morph into impossibly large mecha-monsters. I'll give Genocyber props for some detailed animation and cool imagery, but there's just little substance to be found.
