| Genocyber
is the combination of two tortured people's souls.
Genocyber is a horrific blend of psychic and cybernetic
power. Genocyber can level an entire city with barely an
effort. Genocyber is a perfect war machine.
Genocyber... is one of the strangest, grossest,
hardest-to-understand anime series I've ever seen, and that's
saying somthing! |
| I
can't even clearly tell you what this anime is about. I
found its plot hard to follow and got distracted by shiny
objects in my living room. All I can clearly tell you is
that this is probably the most violent and gory anime I've
ever seen. If you like watching people's guts get torn
out, then this is the anime for you! The rest of you all
will probably be extremely disgusted. I wasn't surprised
though considering Genocyber is directed by Koichi Ohata, the
same guy behind the equally baffling and violent M.D.
Geist. I would definitely say that if you like
one, you'll like the other. They are both basically
violence and gore (for the sake of violence and gore) set in a
post-apocalyptic nightmare world. Without saying more,
you will definitely see a lot of similarities between the two.
Anyway, the bottom line is that this is one anime that I
cannot recommend very highly except to a horror lover.
Yet, despite that, there are still two reasons why I would
watch it again: the artwork and character design. |
"All I can clearly tell you is

ever seen."
|
| I
really like the way Genocyber looks. There is, believe
it or not, a lot of artistry here. Unfortunately, the
over-the-top violence will keep it from getting the
recognition it deserves. Still, real hardcore anime fans
should rent this series just for its looks...as long as you
aren't easily grossed out. |
