5.0 out of 5 stars Blade Runner meets William Gibson, March 18, 1999

By	D. Allen "Wolfman" (Sparks, Nv USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In the near future, street gangs are hacking off their own limbs and replacing them with cybernetics...the draw back? They must pump themselves full of drugs that help them control the bond between flesh and cybernetics. When a private eye stumble across the plot of the Cybernetics corperation responsable for this, he is eliminated...and then turned into the 8man...the most perfect cyborg yet! The japanese version of Robocop, disguised as a superhero, well worth watching.

This is a biased review, but so what? It was my first favorite anime, and still kicks ass to this very day. 8 Man is just awesome. Period. End of discussion.

5.0 out of 5 stars 8 Man Rocks, March 14, 2006

By	A Rogue "cherro32" (houston, texas United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 8 Man After - OVA Perfect Collection (DVD)

Well this was a blind pick for me before I ordered it. Hadn't seen on it on the sci-fi ch/ like some of you, just read the synopsis and the story sounded really cool, like an anime version of Robocop or something.
Well its way better than Robocop, though I thoroughly enjoyed that movie as a kid. I was very impressed w/ the look of the piece, most directors don't use the purple haze back/foreground, that was cool. If you like cop-animes you will love this! If you want monsters/vampires you will hate it. It's actually very realistic? The story is just as engaging as the action, and theres lots of action.
You may also like Goku: Midnight Eye, Psychic Wars, Psycho Diver, Black Jack and BioHunter.
Bottom line it was 100+mins and it felt like 30? I wanted it to be longer, or have another separate feature. Hope they make a sequel. The price is well worth it, very good deal.
