About Cyber City Oedo 808

Cyber City Oedo 808 blends action, adventure and sci-fi by Madhouse (1990). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. What the story covers: It is the year 2808. Three convicts are recruited as members of the Cyber Police to keep major criminal activity in Oedo (formerly Tokyo) in check.

From there, in return, their life sentences will be reduced by a few years for every task accomplished. However, to ensure that these convicts are doing their job, the police have secured special collars around their necks. If they attempt to remove their collars or fail to meet the time limit of their mission, the collars will self-destruct.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
