Neo cyber punk cop kicks robot ass
13 January 2012
Not quite on the Akira standards but it's a great anime from the 90's in the neo cyber-punk genre that'll keep you guessing about a futuristic Mars where there are robots called 2nds that look and act similar to humans but don't have emotions. The public hates them because they take their jobs and are replacing real humans. This is when a cop from Chicago lands in the capital and when his partner greets him at the airport they stumble upon a gang who starts firing on them. Their discovery of what or who was in the suitcase lead them to believe that the line dividing humans and robots isn't nearly as clear as they believed. It leads them on a chase to discover a convoluted past and who is killing celebrities on mars.

I may be biased but this is definitely one of my favorite animes with a great plot and really fits in the neo cyber punk genre, if you liked Akira, take an hour to see this.
