Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

If you've never seen Cyber City Oedo 808, you really need to. It's a classic cyberpunk anime and only 3 episodes long, so it isn't much of a commitment.
It's available on Crunchyroll. Also, someone posted both the subbed and dubbed versions to youtube if you'd rather watch it there.
If you've ever played the game Ruiner, you've probably seen the main character's helmet say "Kill You"
That's a reference to Cyber City Oedo 808
808 finally getting the love it deserves!
I remember watching that back in the 80s. I should give it another go and see if it scratches that nostalgia itch.
Watched this a few weeks ago! It's cheesy (in a good way) and doesn't take itself seriously. Soundtrack was good too (I watched the original one).
