Cyber City is an early 90’s Cyberpunk anime, released as 3 separate OVA’s. This the UK dub version, which oddly has American voice actors, but using UK English idioms.

It’s surprisingly well dubbed for the era, with only a mild-ish amount of cheese and speedracer style run-on sentences. The animation and 80’s hair metal soundtrack is pretty great too.

    Cyber City Oedo 808 (Japanese: サイバーシティ OEDO 808) is a 1990 Japanese cyberpunk original video animation series created by Madhouse and directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri. Set in the year 2808 in the city of Oedo (Tokyo), it tells the story of three criminals who are enlisted into fighting crime in exchange for reducing their sentences to the point where they are able to earn their freedom. The three criminals are the black-haired maverick Sengoku Shunsuke, the mohawk-doning hacker Gogul, and the androgynous bishōnen Benten.
