I'm looking for cyberpunk cartoons. I've seen Ghost in the Shell (though just the movies. I have yet to watch the series), Aeon Flux, a bunch of Batman Beyond, and Akira. So if anyone could make some suggestions for animated series or films with cyberpunk or neo-noir themes, I'd appreciate it.

I have one suggestion of a lesser-known show with some cyberpunk elements:
Phantom 2040 - A futuristic version of The Phantom set in - yep, the year 2040. Character designs were by Peter Chung, the guy behind Aeon Flux. Also, Debbie Harry was in it apparently, which is cool.

Any more suggestions would be appreciated.

Oh, also, this short from the show Freaky Stories is a film noir-type story set in the not-so-distant future.

Honestly, there aren't that many that I can think of...

I guess I could say Invader Zim was in a cyberpunk setting.

Bubblegum Crisis (バブルガムクライシス Baburugamu Kuraishisu) is a Japanese cyberpunk direct-to-video animated series. It displays strong influences from Blade Runner, also making occasional references to it.

Samurai Jack was kinda like that. Some l33t samurai ends up in the far future where an evil demon rules the earth with a giant army of robots. Samurai Jack then travels the scarred and vastly changed earth trying to find a way to get back to the past, cutting up robot mercenaries along the way. It was a kids show, so don't expect GITS or anything, but it was still pretty great. Produced by Genndy Tartakovsky, who knows what the fuck he's doing.

All of Yasuhiro Yoshiura's works, but specifically Pale Cocoon and Time of Eve. They're surprisingly little known, but immensely interesting.

Time of Eve is more of a post-cyberpunk positive setting, with tons of focus on artificial intelligence and it's understanding, all told through a more or less grounded story of patrons at an android sanctuary cafe. Quite a bit of Isaac Asimov influences in it, and it's themes on AI rival that of GiTS imo. There's an OVA and a movie which is just the OVA combined together and edited a little better, I watched the movie.

Pale Cocoon is a short little one-off OVA, and tons more dystopian and post-apocalyptic. Follows a data recovery expert who restores and decodes recovered digital information from the pre-catalcysm earth, in his world of a lonely and dark underground bunker shared by few others as interest of the past became lost. Really strong themes of loss, loneliness, and recovery, with some good visual storytelling to top it all off.

I'm really looking forward to seeing more from this guy.

Here's a stream for Pale Cacoon. The actual OVA was never released in HD so not much of a quality loss.

Haven't seen all of it myself, but it takes place almost entirely in a virtual world and centers around a mysterious phenomenon wherein people in the real world are going into comas while exploring the virtual world.

(the intro theme "Obsession" was fantastic)

Cybersix. It is a japanese/canadian animated show based on an Argentinian comic of the same name. americans never got to watch it and I feel bad for them.

Spicy city is another animated production with a more adult theme. episodes had a sci-fi cyber punk way about them.

Have you seen some of the old heavy metal shorts?

OP here. I had forgotten about Cybersix! I used to watch that shit on Teletoon when I was a kid. Bitch had sweet hair.

And yes, I've seen Heavy Metal.

Spicy City doesn't really appeal to me, mostly because I've never liked anything Ralph Bakshi has even breathed near except American Pop.

The GITS animated series's is easily the best imo. You have to start with the first series before you watch 2nd gig. There is a overall story line that continues in 2nd Gig. Another series that was my favorite as a kid in the 70's, Thundar The Barbarian, which is more post apocalyptic than cyberpunk & a Saturday Morning kids cartoon. But I just watched a few mins of Phantom 2046, and I think it's better than that.

It's been a while since I've watched it and I can't remember how much "cyberpunk" there is but Metropolis is worth watching.

Bubblegum Crisis is a must, especially if you like 80s sci fi movies.
>> No. 800
paprika is a really good movie that's super weird but fits the genre
trigun is not quite in the cyberpunk category... it's more like cyberwestern. But It's really good -- one of the best.
Dennou Coil takes place in a world with pervasive augmented reality, and it's pretty interesting.
But, yeah, anyone who is reading this: ghost in the shell is the definitive cyberpunk anime experience. The first movie and tv run are just wonderful. The tv run takes 7-8 episodes establishing characters and the universe, and it peppers the continuity throughout the season. It's easy to get bored initially, but later you'll appreciate the work that went into constructing this universe when events within it take on appreciable depth.
