yu-gi-oh 5Ds is high tech low life Cyberpunk

This show was probably the first time i saw the cyberpunk fomula on a greater level.

The Protagonist is a punk, the main themes are the duality of rich corpos and the poor workers scraping by and cops use decks to hunt down and implant criminals with tracking chips.

The outfits are clearly inspired by Akira and the show has an interesting combination of higher tech and ancient beings.

The uncensored original version can get relatively violent for a childrens cartoon.

It's close to perfect for my taste and i wish we got a bit more media with the focus on this aspect from konami
