There is no analysis here, this is just spoilers.

Cyber City was the first anime I ever watched and was blown away when it was first shown in the UK during the mid 90's on the Channel 4 late license, the Rory McFarlane mix was so pumped.

" Fist Of The North Star " ALLLLL DAY !!! 😬👊🏼

Akira is always going to be my #1 anime in any Genre , but I'm biased , I watched it in 1989 and it introduced me to Anime It did everything right Depth , character development, twists , emotional rollercoaster etc etc I see nothing to complain about and that's why it is my favorite Anime of all Time

Bubblegum Crisis will always be #1 for me. Not just when it comes to cyberpunk, but also in general. It was just that important to my development as an anime fan :)

Akira will always be my #1. 34 years later and the animation quality still blows away 90% of modern anime…

First of all,great video, thank you,grazie! As a huge fan of Anime since the early 80's( i'm almost 55!!),i'm Happy that most of the Anime in this list are from 80's, 90's and the first decade of the 21st century! Only my opinion ,but the best Anime,and cyberpunk Anime ever are from 80's,90's with few exceptions!! Akira,Gits,Patlabor,Oedo,Ergo proxy,Lain,Batte Angel Alita( Gunmn),Metropolis, Appleseed,Paprika,Trigun,Gundam...are masterpiece. But for me the real masterpiece ,the n°1 Anime ever is Cowboy bebop ! But, i'm not sure it is a cyberpunk Anime!! However Akira, Akira opened up the "western world" to Anime!! So it deserve now and forever a special place!! Greetings from Italy. Ps I apologize for my english!!

Lain is so beautiful and bleak at the same time, and so unique, one of my favorites. Whoever thought of that story must have been living in another dimension. The guy talking about all these animes here should be more mindful of spoilers...

Very complete video!! Well done

This list is phenomenal old school anime/cyberpunk is forever.

These are classics and I've seen some of them from start to finish.

I just recently watch Megazone again and IT still holds up to this day. Great memories and it just all round goods with pretty good actions. Fun fact: if you want to get best of the anime watch alone or with your best friends.

What an amazing Post !! Congrats !! Saved me a tons of time searching for them all online!! thanks man!!

WOnderful list!!!!!!! However, missing ANGEL COP !!!!!! Hopefully we can soon add PLUTO anime version to the list OMG

Cyber city OEDO is my favourite, as I never thought of Cowboy Bebop being true cyberpunk.

You are a god for making a video that list 45 top cyberpunk anime.

For manga/anime experts out there, the cyberpunk/distopia kind : I'm looking for the title of a movie I've seen on TV in the late 90s, I had little culture at the time so I didn't understand much. This is how I interpreted it : - it's somewhere in the future after some wordwide devastation, combat machines are everywhere, and they want to kill - the focus of the story from the middle to the end is on a human mercenary, a lone (?) human survivor, which encounters another weak survivor (I don't remember if it's a woman or not, but I think it was) Now, he also has to protect that person. - It appears there are factions in this world, one is the robots, mainly on the ground, another I believe are rebels (probably a mix of humans and robots/cyborgs/whatever). The story is screaming the extinction of humanity, humans desperately trying to survive against the robots. - Plus, there is some kind of fog when it comes to the actual motives of each faction, I tend to believe there are humans traitors or very likely robots disguised as human everywhere. - The movie ends with our mercenary and the person he protects in the middle of the desert (they crashed ?) with, in the background, millions of robots on the ground and in the air surrounding them, and the man standing for his last battle, with a few weapons (and if I recall, a weaponized arm) One detail I remember is a giant vertical flying white vessel shaped like a woman, called something like "Oracle" or "Maria", I don't remember, which some humans believe to be the last hope of humanity (like how ? like a shelter ? or a heavily weaponized defensive fortress ? I don't remember that thing doing anything in the movie, just flying high above in the sky endlessly) The movie doesn't focus on destruction and misery, much more on the few figures like the hero fleeing and trying to survive with some fight sequences. It may be an OAV but I doubt it; duration is over an hour but I missed the start, seems to be a standalone movie as a whole. It's plain hand drawn manga, no CGI, no 3D incrust. There is no fancy digital effects like glowing screens or highly detailed mech weapons or fancy computers, just raw hand drawn sequences. It's not about games or sports (like racings, boxing or entering a virtual world), there is no virus-like plot, no reference to Japan or Tokyo, the scenes depicts the journey of survivors in small towns, the desert, in the wild, sometimes high figures plotting in high tech shelters... No gorgeous girls in sexy suits or chilling boys trying to be smart : every character is dead serious and the overall mood is "fatalism", the movie is clearly not for kids, but is nowhere near the trash and blood you find in some like Animatrix. There is one comic as a parody of Dragon Ball (mainly, but actually makes parody of everything in the same story) called Dragon Fall. There is a reference to this movie there, precisely the flying vessel called "Mother" which got shot down, the occupants fleeing in a scaled down version of the same vessel (I you happen to know about Dragon Fall of course) EDIT : The movie doesn't appear to be in this list of (45) anime, probably because it wasn't a goog movie overall. Or perhaps I failed to realize it was among those. Thanks in advance for anyone having a clue about that movie I'm looking for. There is another manga movie I failed to pinpoint, but that's for another day.

Excellent video!! 👍👍

I'm really happy you included Ergo Proxy in the list. I love that show!

I like how the thumbnail is the best one :)

I don't think all these classify as "cyberpunk". i was happy to see texnholyze on the list tho. And parasite dolls has a great opening song.

. you forgot to mention Karas and Big-O... but is it a nice video... keep up ✌👍

Excellent list. I have (or have watched) like 3/4 of the list. Was surprised to see GunSlinger Girl on it though... I mean yeah it has the rebuilt girls, but.... eh. And Paprika? Hmm....

Quite a few of these are just plain scifi, and really don't belong in this list. I'm also not sure how you can cover the remake BCG 2040 without mentioning the original BGC, which was a far superior anime. On the other hand, I am pleased to see the likes of AD Police and Megazone 23 on there. I love how many AIC productions are listed.

It’s a travesty battle angel alita never got completed. Hope for a reboot some day

This was a great video!! I would have added Angel Cop 😁

Cool, I have to check some of these out.

Whats better than a good anime? A CYBERPUNK ANIME OF COURSE

I am beyond shocked that Battle Angel Alita didn't got a Remastered Blu-ray release to coincide with the James Cameron movie. What a shame.

My favorite cyberpunk dystopia is planet Earth, good luck finding it on VHS though.

GITS ... I've come to know Psycho-Pass the other day, and it's good, but if we're talking cyberpunk nothing ever comes close to GITS

Synthwave channels: *YES*

Currently watching Metropolis with translated captions. I had seen an excerpt in high school over 20 years ago and wanted to see the whole film.

Watching this video I couldn't help but notice how poorly 3D animation has aged. The artstyle used in the 90's holds a special place in my heart. Some of the titles mentioned here have very little to do with cyberpunk. Megalobox, Gunslinger Girl, Space Dandy are some odd picks for this list.

Ah man thank you for this episode🙏

Thanks for a great vid, but can you make one without spoilers?

I think I’ve seen parts of mega zone 23 before when someone was talking about the Robotech movie.

What a fantastic list, I really appreciated this selection! :)

What’s the name of the anime from the very same beginning (behind Marvelous Vidoes title)??

Not bad team.. missed Tank Police and Black Magic 88. But if you tried to list all the CP genre films and shows, this would have gone a few houres. Add in Ecchi like Angel Cop and.... 8 ) Cheers and thanx for the time.

The narrator sounds like he hasn't watched more than half of these shows. Some of which aren't even cyberpunk. They just have advanced cybernetics as an involved design. But not the overall plot. Whatever fun list I guess. Better than most.

Armored Trooper VOTOMS is my all time favorite anime of all times, especially for how incredibly epic it truly is.

Where's Astroboy, Little Battle Experience and Zoid : Genesis? And there is a difference between Mecha and Cyberpunk

Some really good recommendations on the list, but the narration spoils the endings of most of them. Watch without sound or skip through to avoid spoilers!

Love how the video starts with a warning about the pronunciation being off!

Goku midnight eye was a good cyberpunk anime as well from what I remember.

please no spoilers next time!! great list tough!

OMG, I watch everything on that list... Remembering my otaku life on university days.

In your intro at 0:33 , what is that anime with the cat girl ?

Ghost in the shell (1995) is Cyberpunk benchmark for me. Nice list, but where is M66, Blue Gender and Tekkaman Blade (last two are more mech vs Aliens then cyber city stuff, but there is much more of this in that list)

Great list. Here are some addons: Outlaw Star, MD Geist, Dominion Tank Police, Robot Carnival, Sabikui Bisco, Venus Wars, Macross Plus, Tekkaman Blade, Detonator Orgun

I thought Levius was Steam Punk, since... Well, since all the machines are steam powered 😅 Jokes aside, great video. No wonder Cyberpunk 2020's author is such an anime fan, he got his inspiration from somewhere - his Mekton Zeta RPG is also pretty cool (Gundam fans, ditch D&D and try this one out *immediately* ).

Great video!!

I was never much a fan of anime as a kid or anything but in my teens coming home 2am i wud catch on film 4 on drink and xtc sometimes acid roll a blunt and watch sum great anime movies good times

i think you mixed the Battle Angel anime with the live action movie. alot of the live action details were never in the original anime. i couldn't tell you much about the original mangas tho.

Nice video, If you ever do a part 2 please add Dimension W to the list.

What anime is that in the beginning where they climb through the tv/camera

The anime is called Gunnm not "battle angel" The doctors name is Daisuki Ido not Dyson Ido and the main female character is Gally not Alita (Alita was the name of Dr. Ido's cat in the manga). Also the body he first gives to Gally is from a prostitute that is killed by criminals that Daisuki is bounty hunting. All of the bounty hunters are called "hunter warriors" not just Ido. The berserker body is one that Ido found years ago on salvage runs and has in storage, he puts Gally in it after her old body is destroyed. As the story goes on you learn that Gally is a former soldier Mars 200 years out of her original time. You have the story ALLLLLL wrong, you're describing the Hollywood rewrite, the original manga/anime is quite different...

The girl in Ergo Proxy reminds me of the cover of Evanecense album.

Good work.

Well, this Video will be OK If the Titel be different, because almost only 1/3 of movies here are Cyberpunk. Rest ist plain sci-fi from post-apocaliptic to giant robo genre.

First of all I love cyberpunk and anime, so thanks a lot for making this list. I don't want to be annoying but there are a few things I think you could work on to make videos like this better: - Too many spoilers: I ended up skipping the shows I haven't watch and want to since you describe a little too much about the plot of the different shows, sometimes even narrating events really close to the end of those, I know it because I've watched about half of the shows in here. - The audio volume goes up and down at the beginning of each show description and some added sounds are louder than your voice (like the "woosh" sound when the name of the anime appears on the botom left corner). Balancing audio can be hard, but it makes a huge difference on videos like this to make it feel more professional.

Armored troop votoms,genocyber,cowboy bebop and Akira is my favorite of all times damned Those anime is a masterpiece to mehh

YES thank you for haveing cowboy bebop

Cowboy bebop,trigun and armitage will always have my heart ❤️

The moment i have seen most of these series maybe tells i had too much time on my hands when i was little bit younger

nice pick

How was "Needless" not on this list! They're basically "evil" and "selfish" X - Men characters battling over who will rule the "BLACK SPOT", a lawless waste land in New Japan.

I'm looking for the anime that's not on this list, i only remember its about revenge about revenge of a desert guerrilla against a futuristic troop general in the middle of the desert, i only remember the protagonist have a big sniper rifle and in the final of the first episode he kills the general who was riding a mecha similar to the anime armored trooper vontoms or animatrix. Can someone help me to find?

This an episode I cannot misss!!!!

Anyone know the name of the music used in the video?

Paprika, gunslinger girl, space Dandy, Mobile Suite Gundam really... I think pokemon is missing from the list. The rest are fine I guess

45list ?!?! Not complaining, just surprised

im getting hooked on BubbleGum Crisis

Second renaissance not second resistance. And the planet in trigun is called GUNSMOKE

I’ve never seen 2d animation for Blame! Must be some concept

During the intro of this video right @ 0:44 can anybody tell me what is the name of the anime that little snippet scene from??

Does Juushinki Pandora also classify as cyberpunk anime?

i would have SERIOUSLY suggested the original bubblegum crisis and A.D. police files over the 2 recommended

Late 80s and 90s Anime were the best!!!

Fritz Lang plugs you this VT headset.

I was hopping to see Needless and Accel World on this vid, kinda lacking Though seeing Mobile Suit Gundam, Blassreiter and Animatrix makes it up in a way

A number of the entries in this video aren't even cyberpunk like MS Gundam, Ideon, and Space Dandy, to name a few. Also, Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 should be replaced by the original Bubblegum Crisis.

No, cyberpunk is not a subgenre of science fiction; it is a subgenre of Noir. Gritty dystopian noir where the heroes are all long dead and what is left are the protagonists and antagonists, all simply struggling to survive and get by in a dark world where most people are corrupt. Steampunk is a further twisted from cyberpunk, often depicted as a never-existed 1700s to 1800s utopia (NOT a dystopia) where most problems have been solved through application of steam-powered science, steam-powered, vehicles, robots, etc.) and into this utopia comes some super villain or nefarious dark cult bent on world conquest that the heroes must defeat. There is also atom punk, bio punk, agro punk et al. which are essentially the same utopia-meets-bad guys stories as steampunk, but with the technology of a different era. In cyberpunk the science is intended to be actually plausible, just slightly ahead of current science, NOT science fiction but hypothetical, realistic expectations. Cyberpunk spans everything from gangster-style shoot outs to transhumanist philosophy but it does NOT involve fantasy and that is where people go wrong in writing cyberpunk by injecting all manner of fantasy into it. those then become amalgams of science fantasy, with bits of cyberpunk tropes added in.

1 minute in excellent 👌✌️

You guys went a little overboard with the ads this time...

I looove me some Anime!Great video.

Metropolis!!!

tekkaman blade series should be on the list I think

Time stamps would be nice

Father Elijah approves this use of bomb collars...

Black Magic M-66, Zeram, Big Wars, MD Geist, Angel Cop, Tiger & Bunny...

Bubblegum Crisis and the Knight Sabers forever.

You really did your homework dude. Just one question, why no Jin Roh? Very slept on cyber punk anime.

One thing you got wrong with a few of them such as Mobile suit Gundam, there not actually cyberpunk there actually what’s called Super mecha anime and or Real robot mecha anime

They got "Madox-01" but no "Dominion: Tank Police"? or "Black Magic M-66"?

HELL YEAH AKIRA

"Mentally unstable teenagers operating giant mechs" Do you know how little that narrow it down?

good list. lots of classic masterpieces(looking at Lain , GITS,Alita,Ergo Proxy Patlabor2, Psycho Pass and Akira the list goes on.)

what is the anime that the black knight is the father and a swan is the mother. He is a new type of robot that uses the Sun for extra power. He is torn between his robot make up and the task to save the humans. Thank you!
