Movie Reviews of Cyber City Oedo 808, Vol. 1-3Movie Review: Definately a favourite Summary: 5 Stars
Far into the future crime is so uncontrollable that the police force recruits convicts serving hard time to act as special police agents. In return for services rendered the crims will have their sentenced reduced until they eventually reach freedom. However, if they fail the explosive collar around their neck is detonated.The main characters are Ben-ten, Gogl and Sengoku and each episode focusses on them. All the characters are brilliant in their own ways but i would have to say Sengoku the rockabilly greaser and Gogl the computer hacking punk are my favourite. Though Ben-ten and Hase Gawa (their contoller) aren't without their charm. OEDO 808 is well written with a good story and very, very good characters (i just cant help seeing traits of my own frustrations in them) and witty dialogue, the best of which is delivered by Sengoku in anger to his situation and surroundings. Also the english language version is actually pretty good and not lacking as in most dubs. This is a real gem of a series that i scored in a second hand shop in a hick town in the middle of nowhere that was so cheap i had to purchase them. Must have been my lucky day!!!
