Anime of this type--the short story collections (Memories, Animatrix)--seem impossible, to me, to do any wrong. If one story fails, the next one will steps up. Neo Tokyo (also known as Manie Manie) is one of these anime, yet all of the tales have their own special intrigue to them that is sure to attract older fans of anime (those old enough to remember Liquid Television on MTV).
This collection brings together some of the greatest anime directors around, and when you consider the production ... Read More

It's unfortunate they renamed this trio of shorts "Neo Tokyo" from its original title, "Mani Mani," as it makes searching for this difficult-to-find gem somewhat frustrating. They did it in hopes that it would make people think it had some sort of tie-in with "Akira," which, other than featuring Katsuhiro Otomo, it doesn't. In 1986 this was one of my first tastes of anime (other than Starblazers, Battle of the Planets, Robotech and Voltron) and it blew me away; nearly 20 years later, it is still a delicious ...

This anime was on MTV's Liquied Television on late night back in the 90's, the animes were edited but I still like them. By the way Neo Tokyo is like that movie (Akira) cause it has the same animation and Neo Tokyo is the city on Akira.

To this day I credit Neo-Tokyo - not Otomo's other project, Akira - with starting the anime buzz in the United States.
Neo-Tokyo - released in 1987 - is a set of three segments. The first segement, Labrynth, was directed and written by Rintaro [Metropolis]. Words can not explain the beauty of this piece. Shapes spin and swell, camera pans and tracking are all drawn by hand. The second segment, Running Man, was written and directed by none other than Yoshiaki Kawajiri [Ninja Scroll]. Many people will ... Read More
