In a futuristic Tokyo, a biker becomes an unwilling guinea-pig in a scientific experiment to create a super-being.
Reviewed by Chris Tookey


Apocalyptic Japanese cartoon, superbly animated but marred by an unintelligible storyline, a pornographic preoccupation with violence, asinine intellectual pretensions and mindnumbing length. Much praised for its style, but even its defenders could make little sense of its content.
