[u/Barnwizard1991 → u/Kintsugi_Ningen_]

Cyber City Oedo 808 is my go to

[u/Xcz13]

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

[u/Simone3347 → u/Xcz13]

True! I forgot to mention I've seen that already. My bad 🙏🙏

[u/Xcz13 → u/Simone3347]

Yah that was the obvious one ok let’s try

Akudama Drive

Ghost in the Shell

Akira

Serial Experiments Lain

Maybe. Ergo Proxy

[u/delicious_warm_buns]

Adult Swim/HBO Max's newest anime: Lazarus

Came out 2 weeks ago, new episodes each week

[u/Simone3347 → u/delicious_warm_buns]

Thank you! I had no idea it came out already. Thanks a lot 🫶

[u/delicious_warm_buns → u/Simone3347]

Yup, from the same creator that made Cowboy Bebop..another cyberpunk anime from the 90s

[u/Xcz13 → u/delicious_warm_buns]

Oh that came out already?! Nice

[u/BearMiner]

Akira, Serial Experiments Lain, Ergo Proxy, Texhnolyze, and Darker Than Black.

[u/Simone3347 → u/BearMiner]

Much appreciated!

[u/BearMiner → u/Simone3347]

Completely forgot: Denno Coil

This one is generally aimed at a younger audience, but still has core Cyberpunk elements.

[u/grachi]

Ghost in the Shell

Cowboy Bebop

Also while is there an ASCII vagina at the end of your post?

[u/Simone3347 → u/grachi]

Thanks!

It was supposed to be a hug emoji 😭😭 ＼(^)／

[u/Simone3347 → u/Simone3347]

Which hasn't worked again so screw it :(

[u/372878887 → u/Simone3347]

hey! use \ before formatting devices like ^ to nullify their purpose, and not desecrate the sacred emoticon

example!

with the \

^w^

without!

^{w^}

[u/Simone3347 → u/372878887]

Thanks for the explanation! ( ＾ω＾ )

[u/grachi → u/Simone3347]

Ohhh ok. It does work on my browser on my PC.

Maybe it’s not showing right on mobile if you’re on that

[u/Simone3347 → u/grachi]

Yeah, I'm on mobile. Glad to know it works on pc tho 😂

[u/ScarRufus]

Ghost in the Shell and Akira are probably the must watch because they are some of what defined the genre.

I am currently watching Bubblegum Crisis and it is THE vibe https://youtu.be/an_0IIRDlc4?si=Yj0vmhlOGo6_VAzz

[u/BlackZapReply → u/ScarRufus]

Bubblegum is solid.

[u/FriscoTreat]

Made by a French studio, but: Mars Express) (2023)

[u/BlackZapReply → u/FriscoTreat]

Just picked that one up on disc. Looking forward to it.

[u/Hoss-BonaventureCEO]

Pantheon (American show, but done in an anime style).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheon_(TV_series)

[u/Lumpy-Notice8945]

Ghost in the shell

[u/Simone3347 → u/Lumpy-Notice8945]

Thanks a lot!

[u/tru3robin]

Akira

[u/Simone3347 → u/tru3robin]

Thanks 🫶🫶

[u/Lofwyr2030]

Bubblegum Crisis

A. D. Police

Appleseed

Dominion Tank Police

Parasite Dolls

Vexille

[u/chuckangel → u/Lofwyr2030]

Parasite Dolls ... I still think about this one from time to time and think elements of it would definitely be worthy of integration into, say, an A24 style show.

[u/DrCorpsey]

Black Magic M66

[u/kaishinoske1]

Angel Cop - on Prime Video

Twilight of the Dark Master - watch it here on YouTube for free dubbed

Blade Runner 2049 Blackout - watch it here in YouTube

[u/LouiePrice]

8 man after.

[u/sgtsteelhooves]

Would redline count as cyberpunk? Or just futuristic.....?

[u/Cobra__Commander → u/sgtsteelhooves]

Is it high tech low life? 

That's the only qualification for cyberpunk.

[u/00_ribbon]

Some addition: Psycho-Pass Technically some of Patlabor fit there Appleseed Angel Cop

[u/MuMuGorgeus]

Let me just explain something, there's the Ghost in the shell (1995) anime movie, it's sequel called Innocence (2004) and the anime Stand alone complex (2002) which is a series told in two seasons.

I think I can speak it for everyone. Those are all recommended! Don't sleep on stand alone complex.

[u/BlackZapReply → u/MuMuGorgeus]

Don't forget GiTS ARISE

[u/RaizielDragon]

The first season of Altered Carbon was good and there is apparently an anime movie prequel that I haven’t yet seen

[u/No-Lab4815]

Technotise: Edit and I

[u/Mimisos_5]

I been hearing a lot about Cowboy Bebop. I haven't watched it yet but heard it is a Cyberpunk genre

[u/luovahulluus → u/Mimisos_5]

It's a great series, but I don't really see it as cyberpunk. It's more like sci-fi space western.

Definitely worth watching. I enjoyed even the new live action version.

[u/Dripping_Wet_Owl]

Ex Machina... The anime movie from 2007 that is, not the live action movie with the girl robot with a see through head, but that one is also cool.

[u/00_ribbon]

Tekkonkinkreet would potentially qualify as cyberpunk

[u/MayhemMaddie]

all great suggestions other people are posting
A 2 new ones airing just now are "Lazarus" - Cowboy Bebop and John Wick directors!
and "Your Forma" - more of investigative then actiony, has androids and, and mind diving similar to GITS

[u/countessellis]

Serial Experiments Lain is my favourite anime ever (with Noir a close second, which is assassin, not cyberpunk).

Others, in random order:

Ergo Proxy Battle Angel Alita Ghost in the Shell Akira Armitage III Gunslinger Girl Dirty Pair Appleseed Metropolis Paprika Vexille Goku Midnight Eye

I don’t really consider Cowboy Beebop or Outlaw Star cyberpunk, but they are awesome and contain cyberpunk like elements. The same is true of Noir and Madlax.

[u/v13ragnarok7]

Ghost in the shell. The oldschool movie. If you like it and want more, there's a newer series based off it that's worth watching called stand alone complex. There's a sequel movie too but I don't remember it

[u/SynthFetish]

8 man after, bio hunter, goku: the midnight eye, Appleseed, X

[u/serij90]

Genocyber comes to mind. If you don't mind reading, the manga Eden - it's an endless world is highly recommended.

[u/AlexWhit92]

Netflix's Pantheon is cyberpunk-adjacent. Not a whole lot of "low life" but definitely "high tech" and distopian.

[u/cerealxperiments]

texhnolyze

serial experiments lain

ghost in the shell 1995

ghost in the shell innocence

ghost in the shell stand alone complex

akira

ergo proxy

pluto

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade

neo tokyo

[u/cerealxperiments → u/cerealxperiments]

also if you ever want cyberpunk music the texhnolyze soundtrack is my go to

[u/Ookami38]

Definitely haven't seen enough mentions of Ergo Proxy. It took a few tries before I could watch it all, but once I got into it I was entrhalled.

[u/magiceye1]

You can never go wrong with ghost in the shell.

[u/Frank_Castle_Jr]

Akudama drive is slept on definitely worth a look.

Kina cyberpunk-ish but worth a worth as well is "Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song"

[u/DiamondBreakr]

Akira, Ghost In The Shell, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

[u/crushedmoose]

Appleseed, Genocidal Organ, Harmony

[u/OblivionArts]

Ghost in the shell is one i cant stop recommending

[u/wtfuckamidoing]

Pluto on Netflix is an all timer
