A while ago I watched an anime that looked like it was a predecessor to Ghost in the Shell.
There were characters that looked like Batou, with the cybernetic eyes, but I think he was a bad guy in this one.
There was also a "tachikoma-like" mech as well and people had "sockets" in their necks just like in GITS.
I know it's not any GITS episode or OVA. The anime style was earlier, like late 80's or early 90's.
Does anyone have any idea what this was called? I've been through Masamune Shirow and Mamoru Oshii's filmography and can't figure out what it was.
You're a fucking idiot.

>You're a fucking idiot.
Explain. There was an anime that predates GITS that had similar looking characters..
Assuming you aren't thinking of the first GITS movie, could you be thinking of Cyber City Oedo?
Probably some OVA from the 80s. Ask /wsr/.

>GITS predecessor anime????
No, I watched Cyber City a couple nights ago since I thought that was it.
I'm 100% positive it's not a GITS episode or OVA, it went by another name.
Sort of like how Landmates appeared in Gundress, which had nothing to do with Appleseed.
This OVA had characters that looked like "prototypes" of characters that wound up in GITS. There was also a "tachikoma-like" mech in it as well.
I just can't remember the name.

Armitage III?
Ask /m/, seriously they love this shit.
>>141139426
Could also be Gunnm.
>>141139426
>Armitage III?
No, I don't remember that having a character that looked like Batou or tachikoma style mechs.

>Could also be Gunnm.
No, it's not Battle Angel Alita.
It had a similar story to GITS, but more "primitive".
It's almost like they took parts from this anime and later used them to make GITS.

Good luck. The animescape of the 80s is rife with cyberpunk
This is really aggravating.
I watched this a couple months ago but deleted it since I didn't think I'd watch it again, now I can't remember what it was called or find it again.

Ooh, Dragon's Heaven.
I think I'll watch that tonight.

Can't go wrong with Shinya Ohira

AD Police Files?
>>141139968
>AD Police Files
No, AD Police takes place in the Bubblegum Crisis universe.
This will be my quest. I have to figure out what this anime was.

Why is this shit always so hard for you retards

I don't think you understand term cyberpunk.
