Review | GENOCYBER 1 GENOCYBER 2 GENOCYBER 3 GENCYBER (Manga Video) #1: 46min, #2: 23min #3: 23min, cert 18/18/15, £9.99/£6.99. The visuals in #1 are often quite stunning, with an unusual range of backgrounds, graphics and character designs of surprising beauty. It's very violent and bloody, and there are scenes where the screen looks like a butcher's shop. In common with OEDO 808, the dub incorporates gratuitous swearing. As for the plot, it's the usual rubbish of powerful and secretive corporation developing a cyber- weapon which gets out of control and demonstates homicidal tendencies. The only novelty is that it looks like a young girl. #2 has inferior visuals and more of the same nonsense. Worth seeing #1 (in any language, it doesn't matter) for the visuals. |
