History YMMV / GenoCyber

*** [[MadScientist Dr. Kenneth Reed]], [[AdaptationalVillainy even worse than his manga counterpart]], was an amoral research assistant to Dr. Nguyen Morgan. Arranging for Morgan and his wife to die, Kenneth takes their super-powered daughters [[SuperSoldiers for his own research]]. When a detective helping the girls hides them in a hospital, Kenneth and his goons slaughter the entire building, then capture the detective and [[TheyWouldCutYouUp gruesomely vivisect him while he's still alive.]] Even as he dies, Kenneth watches with glee as the girls merge into the titular [[PersonOfMassDestruction Genocyber]], destroying Hong Kong and killing millions in the process.

* TrueArtIsAngsty: Without a doubt the most nihilistic anime series ever made. From the incredibly explicit scenes of gore, to the very strong theme of HumansAreTheRealMonsters, it ends up holding a special place in its fan's hearts precisely because of it.

* DiagnosedByThe udience: Elaine's animal-like mindset and inability to speak has been compared to autism, though it's never made clear what her disorder is.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Elaine's animal-like mindset and inability to speak has been compared to autism, though it's never made clear what her disorder is.

* NoExportForYou: For unknown reasons, the last two episodes of the series were never released in the UK.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Brazilians love this series, possibly because it was one of the first series to be shown in the popular "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Manga U.S. Manga]]" programming block in the now extinct [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_Manchete TV Manchete]]. It was also the first ultra-violent, mature anime to be broadcast in the country in a reasonably big TV station: the Brazilians who watched "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Manga U.S. Manga]]" were in the 8 to 14 age range and, up to that point, the goriest thing was ''Manga/SaintSeiya'' or ''Anime/DetonatorOrgun'', which ''Genocyber'' managed to top on the [[UpToEleven very first episode]]. As if that wasn't enough for it to become a legend, the first episode was aired uncut (or darn near it) on the first run only, while the other episodes either weren't aired or were chopped senseless (and gore-less), and later reruns either didn't exist or were also chopped down; as a result, the series became some sort of an {{Urban Legend|s}} as not everyone watched it the first time around.

** The scenes with Elaine and the boy she befriends are exceptionally well animated, and legitimately poignant. WebVideo/BennettTheSage points out if the anime had focused on developing their relationship, and not the extreme {{Gorn}}, ''Genocyber'' might have been something quite different than what its reputation holds it to be (Read: Mecha ''Manga/ElfenLied'').
