Welcome to the Underground!

Cyberpunk is generally set in the near future where a technologically advanced society exists in a distopian social structure. Computers, cybernetics, megacorporations, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, hackers, outlaws, loners, and post-apolalyptic settings are the staple of cyberpunk.

Anime examples include; Ghost in the Shell, Ergo Proxy, Megazone 23, Appleseed, Texhnolyze, Metropolis, Akira, and Serial Experiments Lain.

Live movie examples include: Casshern, Matrix, Johnny Mnemonic, Blade Runner, Robocop, and Strange Days.

Books in the genre include; Neuromancer by William Gibson (father of the term Cyberspace), Hardwired by Walter Jon Williams, The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson, and Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan, as well as the series of Shadowrun books.

Subgenres include; steampunk: cyberpunk set in the early industrial age and biopunk: cyberpunk themes centered around biotechnology.

Watching Ergo Proxy now... as in right this moment.

Whoa.

That's all I can say.

And Casshern? LOVED IT! It rocked!

Thanks for the invite. I'm also new to anime, but loving it already. And cyberpunk is also a new concept for me. Bought Ghost in the Shell from bargain bin at Hollywood video a couple years ago--really liked it--also watched the anime prequel to the Matrix and liked it. Loved the original Matrix of course--but I've been totally pissed off that they fucked it all up with two and three!! LOL

Thanks for the invitation. Starting to learn already. Had no idea about steampunk.

Thank you for the invitation, Cyberia. I'm relatively new to anime but the love was instantaneous. Although I'm already overextended regarding my cyber activities, I'll check in as often as I can. Thanx again for the invite ~~~Wingz

If there is a cyberpunk anime that you particularly love, feel free to start discussions for that specific anime. Share your love and devotion for that anime with the rest of us. Posting episode lists, character data, plot synopsis, pics, and vids for your cyberbaby is welcome.
