Categorization

Cyberpunk.

Subject

A hard-boiled private detective gets his eye replaced with a universal hacking device.

Commentary

A waste of decent animation on a ridiculous power fantasy plot.

Sequel:

“Goku: Midnight Eye II” (1989) IMDb

Creators	Kawajiri Yoshiaki (director).
Categorization	More of the same.
Subject	New enemies.
Commentary	So you’ve established a protagonist whose only characteristic brings so much power he can’t really be challenged. But you want a sequel. What to do? Make up an enemy that isn’t affected by the protagonist’s only characteristic. Easy mistake.
