CYBER CITY OEDO 808 (サイバーシティ オーエド ハチマルハチ)It is the year 2808. Three convicts are recruited as members of the Cyber Police to keep major criminal activity in Oedo (formerly Tokyo) in check. In return, their life sentences will be reduced by a few years for every mission accomplished.

Cyber City Oedo is probably the epitome of 1980s anime OVAs. Painfully violent, near meaningless story, semi-acceptable animation, flat characters, and a dub that will make you cringe. That said, it's probably one of the more enjoyable hour-and-a-halfs I've ever had.
The basic premise is something something cybercriminals something something floating space prison something something time off for completing jobs something something exploding collars. If you've made it this far, you know basically everything that needs to be known about this.
Despite my negativity, it does have one thing going for it: watched with a group of friends and some intoxicating beverages (or some really good quips), and it's probably one of the more enjoyable things you could do with your time. You can probably pick it up cheap, as well.
