Anime ● Review: Megazone 23 Part I & Part II
Some consider it a modern classic. Interesting premise. Clumsy plotting. Cheesy and tries too hard with its gratuitous nudity and violence.

Cool warrior girl and humans versus evil AI. Nothing particularly good. No few problems but strangely not a complete waste of time.
