Goku II: Midnight Eye English Sub & Dub

About Goku II: Midnight Eye

Here is what Goku II: Midnight Eye (Midnight Eye: Gokuu II) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, adventure and sci-fi anime by Madhouse (1989). What the story covers: Goku, the lone wolf private detective is back, contracted by Yoshiko, an unexplained, beautiful and very afraid woman, to find and save her brother, Ryu. Will Goku be able to protect Yoshiko from her step father's soldiers long enough to find her brother?

Another thread: Meanwhile Ryu, the unfortunate subject of a military experiment gone bad, leaves a trail of bodies behind him and has no intention of being found or saved by anyone. Will Goku have to kill the man he is supposed to save? Will even his omniscient cybernetic eye and sceptre be enough to help him defeat this indestructible killing machine?

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Madhouse, which means the visual identity of Goku II: Midnight Eye follows that studio's craft. The action focus matters here: fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.3/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Released in 1989, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
