In recent years anime seems to have lost it's guts, especially when compared to such visceral images as presented here. This episode deals with Billy and his transfer into a fully cyborg body. Though his situation mirrors that of Alex Murphy in Robocop, Murphy never had to deal with sexual abuse, drug addiction and sensory deprivation related psychosis. I consider this to be the peak of Japanese anime, before studios decided to pander to a global market and tone down the intrinsic sadism that all adult anime shared in. If you want to see Robocop reinterpreted through a crazed geek's lens then get this film. It may be the fact that it was one of the first anime films i saw but the images in this film stay with you forever, why cant Hollywood produce a sci-fi with as much balls?
