Neo Tokyo (1987)

Neo Tokyo is a visually arresting animation anthology that features three of the anime industry’s most visionary directors adapting stories by famous science fiction author Taku Mayumura. Labyrinth labyrinthos, directed by Rintaro (Galaxy Express 999, Harmagedon), depicts a game of hide-and-seek between a young girl and her cat, Cicerone. Running Man, directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Cyber City Oedo 808, Ninja Scroll), tells the story of enigmatic racer Zack Hughes. Construction Cancellation Order, directed by Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira, Robot Carnival), is a deadpan satire of the Japanese work ethic and Bubble Economy excess.
