Cyberpunk and Surreal Anime.

[ColonelX]

I'm looking for some anime that pertain to the "Cyberpunk" theme.

Things like, Ghost in the Shell, AppleSeed, Akira, Bubblegum Crisis and Serial Experiments: Lain.

If possible, answer in more then one sentence and maybe give a Vague description of it's plot.

Quote From wikipedia: "Classic cyberpunk characters were marginalized, alienated loners who lived on the edge of society in generally dystopic futures where daily life was impacted by rapid technological change, an ubiquitous datasphere of computerized information, and invasive modification of the human body."

Also I'm looking for some "Surreal" anime.

Things that make you think beyond the apparent plot. Also Surreal humor will do.

Anime like FLCL Etc...

Quote from Wiki: "Surreal humor is a form of humor, stylistically related to the artistic ambitions of the surrealists, based on bizarre juxtapositions, absurd situations and nonsense logic."

Thanks in advance ^^

Cyber City Oedo 808,

To combat computerised crime more effectively, the Cyber Police unit of the future Japanese city of Oedo has begun to employ hardened criminals with a history of hi-tech offences and other crimes such as murder.
Three such criminals are Sengoku, Gogl and Benten who are serving their 300-or-more year sentences in an orbital penitentiary. For duty served, each criminal will receive a reduction in their prison time. Desperate to get away from the boredom and monotony of jail life, they half-heartedly agree to the deal. They answer to police chief Hasegawa who keeps them in check thanks to an explosive collar that each criminal wears around his neck. Hasegawa can blow this collar from a distance and it will also explode if they fail to complete their missions within an allocated time period.

it's only 3 eps long, but is quiet enjoyable.
