Cyber City Oedo 808 (:サイバーシティ OEDO 808) is a Japanese media mix released from 1990 to 1991. It is composed of a three-part original video animation (OVA) directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Ninja Scroll, Wicked City, Demon City Shinjuku) and produced by Madhouse; a three-volume novel written by Akinori Endô and illustrated by Kawajiri and Hiroshi Hamasaki; and a PC Engine video game developed by Nippon Computer System. Set in the year 2808, the series follows three convicts who are enlisted to apprehend cybercriminals in exchange for reduced sentences. Cyber City Oedo 808 has achieved an international cult following as an influential work in the cyberpunk genre. The first OVA was released June 21, 1990 and the last October 4, 1991

Bio Hunter (バイオ・ハンター, Baio Hantā) is a Japanese manga series authored by Fujihiko Hosono. The manga was adapted into an hour-long single-episode anime OVA, produced by Madhouse Studios and Toei Video, directed by Yuzo Sato and scripted by Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Ninja Scroll). The manga was also adapted into an hour-long single-episode anime OVA, produced by Madhouse Studios and Toei Video, directed by Yuzo Sato and scripted by Yoshiaki Kawajiri. It was distributed throughout the United States and Canada by Urban Vision. The English dub is distributed by MVM Films in the United Kingdom and Madman Entertainment in Australia and New Zealand.

The movie has similar animation and dark urban fantasy themes that Kawajiri worked on before and after Bio Hunter, such as Ninja Scroll, Devilman OVA, X/1999 anime TV series, and Gungrave.[3] Kawajiri, Yamamoto and Maruyama worked again as a team between 1997 and 2000 in making the Madhouse's Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust.
