Cyber City Oedo 808 (サイバーシティ OEDO 808) is a 1990-1991 cyberpunk original video animation directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri and produced by Madhouse.

The series was originally dubbed by Manga Entertainment and released in the United Kingdom in 1995. The dub contained a completely new rock-centric score by British composer Rory McFarlane, which was also released on a separate soundtrack CD by Demon Records. When released on DVD by Central Park Media in the United States, the original Japanese soundtrack was reinstated, leaving McFarlane's soundtrack only being released on the original VHS tapes released in the UK until 2021 when the anime was released on Blu-ray.

Synopsis 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. However, to ensure that these convicts are doing their job, the police have secured special collars around their necks. If they attempt to remove their collars or fail to meet the time limit of their mission, the collars will self-destruct.
