Mamoru Oshii is most famous, arguably, for creating “Ghost in the Shell”. A cyberpunk classic that helped bring anime to a global audience. His work is profound and philosophical, often challenging the audience with complex themes and ideas. As well as “Ghost in the Shell”, Oshii is famous for a wide range of anime works, films like, “Angels Egg”, “Patlabor: The Movie”, and “The Sky Crawlers”. What often gets overlooked by fans is his live-action pieces, especially his Kerberos saga films. These were filmic adaptations of his “Kerberos Panzer Cop” manga (also known as “Hellhounds Legend”) which ran from 1988 to 2000. The series had two other film entries, “The Red Spectacles” and “Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade”, the latter directed by Hiroyuki Okiura, not Oshii, and the only anime adaptation in the trilogy.
“Stray Dog: Kerberos Panzer Cops” is the second film and prequel to the series.
