Angel Cop

 
Watching Angel Cop on my VHS back in the day is definitely one of my favorite childhood memories. It really has everything you want in an 90s Japanese anime; a healthy mix of elite police, terrorists, scientists, cybernetic bodies, and rouge psychokinetic agents. Oh, and gore! It's fun, and neatly contained in 6 episodes, taking you from urban action to epic showdowns.

The art style is reasonably consistent, changing only a little after the pilot, and the synthesized soundtrack will glue you to every moment. I'll have to watch it again, even if it's just for the slightly tacky title sequence!
