[Anime] Goku Midnight Eye is a crazy 2-episode cyberpunk OVA

Goku Midnight Eye is another crazy hyper-violent cyberpunk anime from the 80s. It's about a private investigator who has a cybernetic eye which gives him god-like powers over all electronics on the planet (and off-planet, he can control satellites). And he uses that power... to solve his cases.

The entire series is just two 50-min episodes. In the first episode, he gets knocked out and wakes up on an operating table as some mysterious person is giving him the cybernetic eye. And that's never resolved or explained. I assume the manga explained why this random investigator was given god-like powers over all electronics, but the anime doesn't have time for details like that. It's too busy focusing on the violence and random nudity.

The entire series is weird like that. He also has a staff which can extend for as long as the plot demands, and it's indestructible. So that's nice.

You can watch it on Tubi, or Freevee (Amazon Prime).
