Saibôgu 009

This is a wild anime film, feeling like it's just making up stuff as it goes along and not caring a single bit for consistency or genuine storytelling. I respected it at first, and found it pretty fun how someone would just use a power and then another character would be like "oh yeah he can do x crazy thing," but it only stayed endearing for so long.

At least Cyborg 009 is pretty short, at just over a hour long, and the old-fashioned animation has its charms as well. There's fun to be had here, and it kind of hit the spot for me in parts, given I watched it late and wasn't really up for something more complex. There are sequels to it I may check out at some point. It was a decent but definitely flawed watch, as far as sci-fi/action anime flicks go.
