- Labyrinth Labyrinthos (directed by Rintaro): A girl and a cat wander through a surrealistic city and encounter a circus.
- The Running Man (directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri): A race driver has telekinetic powers, which go out of control.
- Construction Cancellation Order (directed by Katsuhiro Otomo): A robotic construction crew won't stop working on a cancelled project.
Streamline Pictures released an English-dubbed version under the title Neo Tokyo. Later, ADV Films released a bilingual DVD with the Streamline dub, still titled Neo Tokyo. Also, The Running Man was featured in one episode of Liquid Television (with a different English dub).
Provides examples of:
- Absurdly Dedicated Worker: The robots in the third section will work to self-destruction trying to finish a project and refuse commands to stop.
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The robots in the third section refuse to be shut down, even though the project has been cancelled and the individual units keep breaking down or exploding.
- Art Shift: The segments have different styles, especially the first one, which makes use of squash-and-stretch animation not often used in anime.
- Axe-Crazy: Sugioka's experiences begin to wear down on his sanity.
- Catapult Nightmare: Zach has one before his fatal race in Running Man.
- Circus of Fear: The aforementioned circus of Labyrinth Labyrinthos that has a subtly off-putting clown that is able to summon blackish, surreal monsters from his shadow.
- Cool Gate: A grandfather clock acts as a portal to the city in the first segment.
- Dark Is Not Evil: The shadow creatures that the clown summons in Labyrinth Labyrinthos look creepy and alien, but don't act malevolent at all, and let Sachi join in on their fun.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: "Trying to use logic against a never-ending tide of robotic "get-the-job-done" types should be pretty familiar to anyone who's ever worked for a big company, especially in Japan."
- Robot #1 declares in its introduction speech that if the proper procedures are not followed, then there will be chaos, even if the hierarchy is utterly nonsensical.
- There's also the way that the robots work themselves to the point that they explode and robot #1 just decides to increase overtime.
- What really makes Sugioka angry? The fact that the robots cost a lot, so being worked to the point of exploding is costing his company a lot of cash.
- Framing Device: Sachi from the first segment watches the other two on a screen in the circus tent.
- German Expressionism: An apparent influence on the art style of the first segment.
- Gratuitous French: This first line in the Running Man: Un des hauts lieux du continental circus: la chicane assen qui precede, de quelques dizaines de metres, la ligne d'arrivee durant les premiers tours.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: In "The Running Man", the racer uses his psychic powers to kill all of the other racers but is killed by a Heroic RRoD that is framed to heavily imply that he didn't notice the last racer he was aiming at was himself.
- Irony: Just as Sugioka decides that enough is enough and leaves to take down the control center of the project, a transmission comes in that the original contract has been renewed and that the project is to continue forward. In essence, Sugioka ends the story committed to completing orders that are, unbeknownst to him, no longer valid, just like the robots.
- Public Domain Soundtrack: Gymnopédie No. 1 by Satie, Chanson du Toréador by Bizet, and Morning Mood by Grieg (this one is used as a Standard Snippet for Mickey Mousing).
- Pun-Based Title: Meikyuu monogatari, make you/r story.
- Running Gag: In Construction Cancellation Order, the meals Robot #1 gives to Sugioka become increasingly inedible and contaminated until he's being served a tray of mud and broken mechanical parts.
- Super-Power Meltdown: This is pretty much the entire premise of the second segment. A race driver's telekinetic powers go out of control, killing all of his opponents and ultimately himself.
