Megazone 23
Megazone 23 (?????23, Megaz?n Ts? Sur?) is a four-part Japanese cyberpunk original video animation created by AIC, written by Hiroyuki Hoshiyama and Emu Arii, and directed by Noboru Ishiguro, Ichiro Itano, Kenichi Yatagai and Shinji Aramaki. The series debuted in 1985. It was originally titled Omega Zone 23 (??????23, Omega Z?n Ts? Sur?) but the title was changed just before release. The story follows Shogo Yahagi, a delinquent motorcyclist whose possession of a government prototype bike leads him to discover the truth about the city. Released on the VHS, Betamax, Laserdisc and VHD formats, the first part was a major commercial success upon release in 1985, selling over 216,000 copies in Japan, mostly to video rental stores. At a price of ¥7,800, the first part grossed approximately ¥1.7 billion ($21.3 million) from video sales in Japan. The film's concept of a simulated reality has drawn comparisons to later films including Dark City (1998), The Matrix (1999) and Existenz (1999).
