About The Tokyo Project

If you are hunting for a new action series, The Tokyo Project (トウキョウ・バイス) deserves a look (1988). The setup goes like this. In short: One night at a rock concert, an unexplained man dies while leaving a floppy disc with a member of the Rutz Detective Agency. Soon they realize the disk contains information about a deadly new weapon under development.

Further in, the heroes become involved in a game of political subterfuge and military espionage, hot on the trail of the killer!

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Junpei Touma (Kazuki Yao) and Akira Nagareyama (Kaneto Shiozawa) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 1 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Minami Machi Bugyousho is the studio behind The Tokyo Project, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 4.8/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Kazuki Yao as Junpei Touma, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 1988, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
