Back in the 1980s and 1990s, there were numerous anime OVAs (original video animation) that told grisly, gritty, and grimy stories. Full of blood, guts, gore, and all manner of other “adult” content, these projects were instrumental in positioning anime as the “grown-up” cartoon alternative in the West. Some of these OVA movies and TV shows were based on manga, though in some cases, this source material was never actually completed.A great example of this was Genocyber, which is a somewhat infamous science fiction horror anime. As with others of its era, this OVA was premier “late nite” fare, namely due to its graphic content. It’s also defined solely by its adaptation, with the actual manga that the series is based on still being incomplete to this day.Created by Tony Takezaki, Genocyber began as a manga in 1992. Published in Comic Nova, the ratings demographic for the series was seinen. This suggested an older intended audience than typical shonen manga and anime, though that’s something of an understatement. The series is known for its brutally graphic violence, and this was apparent even in the printed version of the story. This may have been why the manga for Genocyber didn’t last very long at all, with only one completed volume ever being published.RELATED: The Newest Grendizer Series Joins One of the Most Overlooked Anime Legacies
