Cyberpunk is my favorite genre of sci-fi, and I definitely found it via movies and TV, so I’m wondering what everyone’s favorite pieces of media out there?
Some of my tops are of course the classics like Blade Runner, Akira, Robocop, and Dredd
I think one of the earliest reasons I fell in love with Cyberpunk was Batman Beyond. That theme song also totally deeply influenced my music taste.
What about yall?
Patlabor is a near future mecha anime, where the Patlabors are like the model t of mechs. The tv series is really light-hearted, but the ova/movie series is more serious. It’s light on the whole dystopia part of cyberpunk, it’s more like the Japanese society of the 80s and 90s transplanted a bit into the future.
Serial Experiments Lain… is really hard to describe. It’s kind of like a digital drug trip, but not a good one. A trip that’s unsettling.
Edit: Not to imply that Lain is bad, it’s great.
Nice I’ll have to look those up!
