Bubblegum Crisis, Bubblegum Crash, Ghost in the Shell, Patlabor 1 and 2, Armitage III, AD Police Files, Memories, Neo Tokyo, Megazone 23, Venus Wars, Techno Police 21C, AI City, Dominion Tank Police.
Most of these are movies or very short series (like 4 episodes max).
there's also a hell of a lot more. 80s/90s anime was peak ultraviolent cyberpunk. And if you don't mind stepping out of the 90s and maybe watching something a bit longer I highly suggest Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and S.A.C. 2nd Gig. by far my favourite anime series of all time. Also Psycho-Pass.
+1 for Psycho Pass.
One of my favorites.
Just...watch season 1, movie and Sinners of the System, Providence and walk away. Don't bother with season 2 and 3 and remember the good memory you had enjoying season 1
Edit: the Mandatory Happiness VN game is fine too
yeah I should have added no need to go beyond season 1. which is a shame cause I REALLY liked Psycho Pass season 1 and the rest was just....really?
