Lazerhawk - Built to Kill

[@Masterwar15]

Damn, these old crime/dystopian anime have some fucking style man.

[@MunchKing86]

You wanna know the funniest part? Those motorcycle thugs are the good guys.

[@g.carreon8724]

This video got me in motorcycles. I ended up watching All Megazone 23 movies and loved them all. I made it my goal to buy a motorcycle after watching the movies. Fast forward 4 months later and I now have a motorcycle…the only problem is that I know have riding anxiety and haven’t been able to ride it because of fear. I decided that today im gonna go out for a ride and watched this video to remind myself of the reason why I wanted a motorcycle. Definitely more excited than nervous now💪

[@elliottvader2377]

What helped my motorcycle anxiety was riding in a third world country When you get comfortable riding without a helmet absolutely drunk in a nation without traffic laws riding in a safe country with proper gear is easy

[@timothyrockwell2638]

Your comment made me realize I first started drawing because of the anime I grew up with. I've been slacking off recently, so I'm going to start taking it more seriously so I can make cool shit to inspire people like yourself, thanks for the reminder.

They just don't make gritty realistic looking anime like this anymore.

[@wadiefilali7795]

[@noisemarine561]

Right, considering the Nuclear devastation they just witnessed. It seems that brutal events or times create brutal people. Must be part of the Human psychology to adapt your behavior or mentality to whatever scenario is present. We truly are an amazing race the more you think about it.

[@reddot_22]

The movie is Megazone 23(Part II). One of the best animations , I recommend the the whole 3 parts. Megazone 23, look it. Amazing music btw xD

[@levelminusone]

alvordar almoncar imho the first "megazone 23" part was the best! :D

[@reddot_22]

levelminusone I liked the space gore combat against the dezlag in the second part xD

[@levelminusone]

alvordar almoncar that was badass, tho! :D

[@Paronak]

+alvordar almoncar best animation? look for Akira

[@tatsuuuuuu]

wow so this movie series clearly inspired Akira the movie or maybe it was inspired by the novel?

[@felipe21279]

*Megazone 23* - one of the most badass Anime movie series of the 1980's, only beaten by *Akira* (atleast in my opinion). How much i wanted to be one of these guys when i was a kid.

[@levelminusone]

***** oh well.. there were some other good 80s animes like "bubblegum crisis" or "armored trooper votoms" :) ... but you are right.. "megazone 23" is definitely great!

[@xeronicus]

Don't forget cyber city oedo and Dominion Tank Police

[@karoomay]

With this style of anime, it reminds me of the 1980s American action cartoons I watched during my childhood since many of those cartoons were animated in Japan, except here it's much more badass. I miss this type of old school animation that we do not really see anymore.

[@Yatsura2]

oh yeah, the old _"my motorcycle can stand a rocket launcher, but my gun will destroy your tank with one shot"_ cliche XD

They just have the buff guy doing the same thing with the rocket as he did with the nightstick.

right? anime from late 80s and early 90s was awesome. ill watch that shit all day. but the new stuff just isn't that cool really...

For everyone curious about the pinball machine: 0:05 and 0:25 (copyright-skirting "sнvег иоwкs" in place of "SilverHawks") 0:15 (pretty much the ThunderCats logo on the center bumper) AIC was the animation studio for both of those shows, as well as for Megazone 23.

dreman999 It makes me wish that the 80s and early 90s action cartoons that were made for American TV but mainly animated in Japan, were as badass and gritty as animes like Megazone 23 but the FCC and overly concerned parents wouldn't allow it. In fact even with all the watered down violence, lack of killing characters, and the mandatory good moral lessons, parents at the time still complained that such shows were too violent for kids.

[@tilburg8683]

@Bork lucian Spoilers in this comment oh yeah that made me so sad, although I had some heads up cuz of this video but I hoped more would survive. Although I'm glad the people that did survive survived, although I'm neutral toward the guy with black hair and a little bit of pink ( still wouldn't want him to die ofc), but glad they survived. ( And I haven't seen everything since KZbin blocked some scenes so I've seen like 75%) But I do miss the guy with red hair and glasses ( I'm not very good with names so I can't name like 90% of them.) And the huge guy, also said he probably died. And also the girlfriend of the guy with blond hair survived and you do have the larger sized girl/women that's still alive, and Jonny's girl friend ( don't know the spelling just the name). Although they are all technically taken already so. Yeah. But it was nice to watch though although the ending was strange although I couldn't see all of it since KZbin blocked the last scene.( So I saw the end partly).

[@hazelkovine1767]

The song has Hi-NRG, Industrial and a bit of Depeche Mode influence with a melody a little creepy. So it could be Darkwave, sounds like songs of She Past Away too.
