Cyberpunk Collection Promo

Manga Entertainment Presents the Cyberpunk Collection

[@michaelgadsby]

I've been looking for this advert for such a while!!!!! Used to watch these old VHS adverts on my Street Fighter II Anime VHS from 1995.

[@christoferprestipino7433]

Me to brother

[@David315842]

The narrator said 'Download' to try and make the advert sound more futureristic. When the OVA's were released by Manga in 1995, the internet wasen't as big as it is nowaday, so stuff like downloading was brand new to many people.

[@KjamLXX8]

Cyber City Oedo 808 is my fav anime of all time. I have the Siren Entertainment version released in Australia. They even went as far as to redo all the on-screen writing, by far the best release of this collection.

[@distantj]

"The Heart Beneath" by Celtic Frost is the song you're looking for.

[@Graham1983]

thanks for the update, perhaps my "local video store" will place an order to the UK. since manga has been releasing alot of its classics on dvd in a new edition, they may have these rereleased.

[@danielpayne500]

agreed

[@MusicGearNuts]

did you ever get them on dvd?

[@blacklotus808]

The 808 in my username is a reference to cyber city.... I loved it back in the day ! it's always good to take a trip down memory lane....

[@theblazinggamer4231]

All 3 were hits. The first 3 of genocyber is all u need to watch. Cyber city is awesome and should have good long series. :-)

[@distantj]

If you're in the UK, yeah, that's what they did. 3 VHS' in a box (or separate) with a little "Cyberpunk Collection" image thing which comes together on the spines when the videos are stacked. Each show was also available on separate VHS' with one episode on each, but the Cyberpunk Collection had the whole series of each, all together.

[@timduncan69]

i love the sprawl books and am a huuuuuuge blade runner fan! But at the same time i love all these OAVS! They ooze cyberpunk themes and visuals!!

[@christoferprestipino7433]

This shit just absolutely blew me away as a kid

[@David315842]

Too bad the guy didn't say 'Don't watch if your squeamish' while the GenoCyber footage was being played. :D

[@Scentless]

@TriztheEarthin Indeed.

[@jmm1233]

There is something i noticed with the difference between the American genre and the Japanese genre of cyberpunk , American genre is more into the atmosphere and nihilist philosophy of cyberpunk where as Japanese is more of the hard action and gore , of there is exception to that when watching GITS

[@andellzor]

@Luckyroux40777 you cant have Ghost in the shell, Akira and all those classics in all collections. everyone already have them. it is nice with these kind of obscure ones. these are pretty cool animes too. Geno cyber is kind of boring thou.

[@neyack2]

I remember growing up with stuff like this, I also remember it seeming more like fiction and less like fact. Yet despite us having internet, basic robotic limbs (expensive but you know im right) and megacorporations... we still dont have our god damn sex bots!

[@gm9984]

Yeah we do lol

[@danielpayne500]

Can Manga just as one off release this on dvd !!!! or blu ray

[@Romeohardcash]

Well actually it's Anime Limited animeuknews.net/2018/10/anime-limited-announce-plans-to-release-cyber-city-oedo-808-on-blu-ray-remastered-in-2019/

[@ToruKun1]

They say "Don't watch if you're squeamish" for AD Police but Genocyber was WAY worse LMAO

[@vertitis]

@overfiend87 If you were refering to Genocyber it was actually 5 episodes.. But I believe Manga Entertainment only released it with 3 episodes.. which means it wasnt complete.

[@drakocarrion]

That's probably because everything after 3 was terrible.

[@TriztheEarthin]

"download it on video." ...ha!

[@distantj]

DOWNLOAD it on video! In 1993 that was a cool tagline. 2007 that line encourages piracy. lol XD

[@ConradProteus]

Best is cyber city odeo, next genocyber and 3 a.d police(not that buble gum girls)

[@distantj]

Geno Cyber kicks ass.

[@Graham1983]

HAHA true enough! following cyberpunk theme to the death, perhaps the death of manga's profit margin in this cyber world

[@David315842]

@vertitis It was complete in America, but the UK and Australia only got the first 3 parts.

[@WolfieboyMachi]

I wonder if any 13 year old kids were watching this going like "yeah, cyberpunk is kewl!" then they put on some GenoCyber and go like O_0

[@Nocito87]

The music, playing in the background of Geno Cyber sounds like Metal Slug music.

[@distantj]

AD Police (the weakest one, sadly) has been released on DVD, but we're all still waiting on Cyber City and GenoCyber. GenoCyber (my favourite!) exists on a fantastic DVD in the US, which is also Region Free, I'm after a copy of that myself. Cyber City also has a US DVD but unfortunately features a different dub without the obscenities, and the embarassing Japanese music instead of the kickass UK music.

[@johnty505]

maaaaann! i used to have the (redone) soundtrack to cyber city oedo 808 - its one of the only ones i can watch dubbed without cringing. oh and edd731 - ive been looking for angel cop - is it any good?

[@feargrim]

i own all these, awesome

[@David315842]

@David315842 At least that's what I assume.

[@Johnnien]

Did he just say "Download on video." Manga Entertainment has appearentely started supporting illegal downloads.

[@paigeygrey]

cool narrator

[@XXXXXX-tn6pl]

wow... i am not sure if i like the changes that CDprojectRed had brought in... it looks kinda ... different :/

[@foottothenuts]

GOOD YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

[@foottothenuts]

htey never say. it is probably because of his problem's with his mean aunt.

[@Graham1983]

how strange that there would be so many variations around these titles and their respective regions. what advertisers and editors do sometimes is a crime in itself. Need we not mention the new Akira release with the uber harsh dubbing in comparison to the original from the mid 90s. But if genocyber and cyber city are on DVD in NA, im on it.

[@lordisrael]

ad.plolice lol saw it wen i was 12 years old XD

[@distantj]

Doesn't mean they can't be cool.

[@jackfordmac]

Whats the best version of the anime to get on DVD? I live in the UK but have a region free player, so whatever you can suggest. Thanks.

[@BoguleZ]

@jidoujoe i was just gonna say that

[@distantj]

Well, both versions are Region 0 anyway, and they both have the same content, just different covers, lol, so either, really!

[@foottothenuts]

at least someone here has a brain

[@Graham1983]

Ok so can someone explain this to me. Is there an officially released collection called the cyperpunk collection with these films all together? or is it just naming their 3 films and loosely associating them together but still selling them as seperate?

[@MusicGearNuts]

track ID's?

[@foottothenuts]

Genocyber is great. just the last two episodes suck.

[@BRAZILonPCin360p]

Definitely, Cybercity was laughable, as was geno cyber, AD Police was decent, And a big Rofl at MD Geist. If they wanted to do a Cyberpunk pack it should have been Ghost in the shell, reboot, Bubblegum Crisis and Akira

[@dsknighthawk]

kinda sad, only 1 series was solid from start to finish (AD POLICE FILES), and CyberCity really only had 1 decent episode at all...and GenoCyber...well..it sucked start to finish. At this rate they should just throw MD Geist, Cybernetics Guardian, and other crappy features into the mix just for shits and giggles.
