I read the manga version many many years ago.....since then I forgot the name of that already, I tried to search without a clue for long. Once in a while, I came across with this anime version and recognized the plot and the characters. Thanks to the awesome Internet (and MyAnimeList), I could finally put my long-time search to an end.

This anime version is somehow different than the manga version, and I am not going to include so here.

And I want to say that, this Ai City anime kind of makes me like the bad guys more than the good guys, which is ...

Mixed Feelings

Even as an 80s nostalfag I really couldnt get into this. Its trainwreck, really. Its like they took every bad cliche of the time and threw it in a pot and this came out. Plot is all over the place and the soundtrack is really bad. They also repeat the same tracks too much for a 90 minute movie.

Also, way too many flashback scenes. Again, this is a fucking 90 minute movie. We dont need this.

It does have some pretty colorful psychedellic scenes though, and the first car chase sequence was pretty cool.

But franky, only watch this if you have OCD about seeing every 80s ...

Sometimes, people criticize something saying it doesn't make sense. With anime this happens a lot. You can say that sometimes people just don't get, or didn't want to, but sometimes, when someone says something doesn't make sense, it's because, yeah, it doesn't make any sense. Ai City is a good example.

Imagine an anime whose script didn't have any sense of pacing, without explaining or exposing anything to you jumps right to an action scene which you can get engaged or excited because you're still wondering what the hell it's going on. That's your first scene. Yeah, didn't sound very promising, but don't worry, the rest ...
