Goku Midnight Eye (1989
)
Kawajiri Yoshiaki (director).
A hard-boiled private detective gets his eye replaced with a universal hacking device.
A two-part OVA. A waste of decent animation on a ridiculous power-fantasy plot.

More of the same with new enemies.
So you’ve established a protagonist whose only characteristic gives him so much power that he can’t 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.
