I’d say Akira is more BioPunk, but that may be a moot distinction.
I’d say Akira at least starts out cyberpunk with the biker gangs in the first half of the movie before going full-on biopunk in the second half. I get what you’re saying though. That’s why a while back I asked whether people thought eXistenZ was cyberpunk.
Why not both?
No Ghost in the Shell?
I think the meme was going for more of the “weird” examples of cyberpunk rather than the staples of the genre. There isn’t even Blade Runner on there.
There is a literal still of Bladerunner 2049 in it.
On this note, please stop me from making irrational decisions.
What a steal…
Perfectly rational!
meanwhile:
Is it cyberpunk if it isn’t neon pink? /s
According to this cyberpunk is anime.
Anime had a huge influence on the development of cyberpunk, yeah. Ghost In The Shell was equally as influential to the genre as Mirrorshades back in the day, for example, even though the former borrowed heavily from the latter.
What about the genre originator (The Stars My Destination)?
Excuse me while I go for a jaunt.
Neither side has any Gibson, come on
I know Akira but could I get some help identifying the name and media type of the others?
Example: Akira - Movie, Baroque - PlayStation game
Garage: Bad Dream Adventure - PC game
I believe that black and white photo of the dude’s face half-covered is from Tetsuo: The Iron Man.
Also, BLAME! Is a massive manga but it has an anime movie on Netflix.
Are there any left that haven’t been identified? I think everything else has been mentioned.
Can cyberpunk be transphobic?
Typically it is not, and should be quite the opposite, but any genre can be twisted by fascists and reactionaries. It’s their favorite pastime.
Sure. See when gravity fails. Happens to be both transphobic and inclusive. One of my favorite series though.
