About Megazone 23

Megazone 23 (メガゾーン23) arrives as an action anime by Artland (1985), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: Motorcycle enthusiast Shogo mistakenly comes into possession of a government prototype bike. Pursued by ruthless goverment agents he plans to save himself by exposing the bike to the public on a live TV show hosted by a popular singing star.

More of the story: Even the lovely Eve has buried truths of her own and the government has much more to hide than just a transforming military motorcycle. As Shogo kicks off to unravel the mystery of the bike, he finds out a reality-shattering concealed about the city and the world he thought he knew.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Masato Kubota as Shougo Yahagi and Kaneto Shiozawa as B.D.. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 1 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Voice casting, including Masato Kubota as Shougo Yahagi, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 1985, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
