646f9e108c In the city of Oedo 2808 A.D., three Cyber criminals are given two choices, to either rot in jail or to join a special force of the Cyber Police to get possibly one more chance at freedom ever again. For each criminal apprehended, and for each successful mission done, the state will agree to reduce their sentences. Lead by Hasegawa, the new recruits: Sengoku, Gogul, and Benton will bring some hard justice to Oedo and possibly taste freedom again. You Know, without Lee Marvin the Dirty Dozen just wouldn&#39;t have worked. But here I think he would probably be surplus to requirements.<br/><br/>This is a very enjoyable fillm/series, however the version I witnessed suffered from a very irritating affectation of dubbing companys - that of inserting expletives every few words. This is normally done in an attempt to gain a higher classification and raise the films status in some way.<br/><br/>The film itself is rather enjoyable, several convicts recruited to fight crime etc.. etc.. the plot makes more sense than some other &#39;concatonated-series&#39; filmseverything has been left in and new plot clinching characters are not neglected untill the final reel.<br/><br/>Hours of fun. (well, just) The plot might seem simple and well worn, three criminals offered a reprieve if they take the cases for the Police that no-one else will take, but the development has been truly awesome. Indeed, I have brought the series several times, only to have people who were friends be prepared to become enemies, just for a chance to run off with my copy. <br/><br/>Curiously, I loathe most Manga with its convoluted and contrived stories and gross out monsters ravaging innocent little girls, yet this avoids all that junk and deeply appeals, even to me. Each f the tales is told in the style of the three, highly imaginative characters: Sengoku, a sort of Sam Spade of the 28th Century: Gogul, a monstrous thug who is also a grandmaster at computer-hacking and Bensen, a transvestite who, despite all his shinny nail varnish, is an expert assassin.<br/><br/>Sadly, the series has one, monumental drawback, THEY ONLY EVER MADE THREE. Why, I have no idea. I even phoned the studio in frustration when I discovered this, yet was blandly assured that the project simply ran for three episodes and then they moved onto something else. It&#39;s like breaking the home-run record for a season and then quitting baseball before you&#39;ve picked up the trophy. Now that was a TRUE CRIME …worthy of Senguku.
