An ultraviolent OVA from 1993 about two psychic sisters - one mute and mentally deficient; Elaine, one crippled; Diana - who are part of an illegal experiment in unlocking psionic potential and aimed at creating SuperSoldiers. When Elaine escapes from the research lab, Diana is sent to retrieve her, only to kill her in a fit of rage. However, Elaine's mind survives and takes over Diana's cyborg body, transforming into a mutant creature called the Genocyber.

The OVA is adapted from an unfinished manga that was based on some of the first episode's plot; reading it first reduces the MindScrew levels a fair bit.

** Numerous anime series have since tried to match the sheer volume of blood and gore that this series has. None of them even come close. ''Manga/ElfenLied'' and ''VisualNovel/WhenTheyCry'' try their best, but there's nothing that can match this series.

''Genocyber'' was directed by Koichi Ohata, who also directed ''Anime/{{MD Geist}}'', ''Cybernetics Guardian'' and ''Anime/BurstAngel''.

* LaughingMad: Myra in the third episode.

* SoundtrackDissonance: An odd case where the series main theme is this, the upbeat Fairy Dreaming.

* AdaptationDistillation - One could make a case that the anime's changes were for the better. For example, the FacelessGoons being mute makes them horrifying as opposed to being simply [[UncannyValley a tad disturbing]], and the infamous "shredded children" scene is totally absent from the manga.

* [[FacelessGoons Faceless]] MechaMooks - Faceless and mecha, yes, but the mook part is played with. In the manga, they're very talkative and other than one [[NoHoldsBarredBeatDown beating the living crap out of Diana]], their badassery is something of an InformedAbility. However, in the anime, we're given a close-up view of the handiwork of about 20: [[NightmareFuel a hospital hallway absolutely covered in horribly mutilated corpses and body parts, followed by them horribly torturing the only witness. The most recognizable corpse is a nurse, whose head slowly detaches itself and falls off to the right, tendons visibly and audibly just snapping as it does so.]]

* {{Gorn}} - The OVA contains such delightful sights as the aforementioned hospital scene and a scene of children being shredded by helicopter miniguns; the former is legitimately NightmareFuel, whereas the latter could be considered {{Narm}}.

* HighPressureBlood - Surprisingly, only one usage is noticed. In the first episode, a mook is given visions of bugs crawling in his head by an unconscious Elaine, which prompts him to tear open his scalp, causing blood to spray all over the surroundings. The rest of the gore is rather realistic, especially in the second episode; [[TooMuchInformation the gunshot wounds aside from a head-explosion are disturbingly life-like, and they actually took care to draw the tibia and fibula snapping along with the muscle tearing on an ankle shot.]] However, said head explosion catapults the scene into pure {{Narm}} territory.

{{Genocyber}} was directed by Koichi Ohata, who also directed ''{{MD Geist}}'', ''Cybernetics Guardian'' and ''BurstAngel''.

-----
!!GenoCyber contains examples of these tropes:

* ClusterFBomb - the dub of the first 3 episodes. Due to the dark, gritty CyberPunk atmosphere they create, it works extremely well, and dropping it for the last two was a mistake in this troper's opinion.
* CuteMute - Elaine is mute, although she does occasionally communicate using her PsychicPowers and body language. In the manga neither sister was mute.

* [[FacelessGoons Faceless]] MechaMooks - Faceless and mecha, yes, but the mook part is played with. In the manga, they're very talkative and other than one [[NoHoldsBarredBeatDown beating the living crap out of Diana]], their badassery is something of an InformedAbility.

* PsychicPowers - Called "Vajra", but the idea is the same. It's more akin to the "vectors" from ElfenLied, in function if not in form.
* ShoutOut - A very weird one. The first episode, in both languages, starts with a scientist asking "What's the frequency, Kenneth?".
