I was wondering if anyone could help me recall an anime (not even sure if it's a film or series) I vaugely recall seeing on TV years ago.
I'm afraid I can't offer many leads as I saw it back in the early-to-mid '90s here but here's what I've got:

It was on Channel 4 here in the UK back when they were showing the odd bit of anime on Friday nights. So yeah, definitely early-ish '90s.

One of the major characters (main protagonist? I can't recall) was a rather androgynous-looking man/woman with (probably) white hair and was armed with some sort of razor-sharp dental floss - a wire of some sort used to chop people into bits I guess.

It had a sci-fi setting.

Yeah, not much to go on huh? Still, if anything springs to mind then please let me know. It's kinda bugging me. Thanks!

Well the character looks right but it doesn't seem to be sci-fi. Still, thanks anyway.

Any other suggestions folks?

Sounds like its probably Cyber City ODEO 808. Was released in the UK in the 90's. One of the main protagonists has white hair and if I remember correctly uses a wire. Also has a futuristic sci-fi setting. The character in question (benten) is also androgynous. I think he might actually be a transvestite, not certain though.

And we have a winner!

Not that it was a competition but I think you're right on the money Mr Mania - the characters on the video cover look familiar.

My mind is at rest now. heh

Cheers mate!
