Cyber City Oedo 808 and its dub have got to be one of the more memorable and bizarre OVA's. Both in terms of its execution and the extreme quality of said execution. With animation rivaling that of Vampire Hunter D and an over the top English dub that despite radically altering the original's script somehow manages to still remain spiritually intact with the greater body of work. Similar to Yu Yu Hakusho's. It produces a unique experience that is very enjoyable.

This is one I definitely should watch down the road. The way I'd do it would be to watch the episode in Japanese, then watch it again with the English dub, as it was localised at the tail-end of Manga's "fifteening era" where they often added in tons of F-bombs to their dubs to gain a fifteen/eighteen rating, often with mixed results. So for me, watching it with the intended dialogue and then watching it again with the edgier English script to see which works best and what the differences are is basically the way to go here.

Certified hood classic. They don't make 'em like this anymore.

It goes beyond simple f-bomb dumping. The entire script is pretty much reworked from the ground up to make the three leads and their boss into more classically English speaking (American) criminals. Basically an entirely different experience. Both are very good, but I prefer the English dub over the more subdued and philosophical Japanese version.

Huh. Well that's even MORE reason to watch each episode in Japanese first then again in English!
