the middle set of screen shots on the left the guy really does looks a lot like Sephiroth with his hair and the coat he is wearing. if i didn't know any better and saw that image on google i could confuse it with a screen shot from the animated version of Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core

<p>So I remember this scene from an anime for many years now but I can't find it no matter what I searched for.</p>

<p>Here's what I remember:</p>

<ul>
<li>Green (maybe blue? not sure) long-haired badass guy, with dark clothing. He really resembles Sephiroth from <em>Final Fantasy</em>.</li>
<li>The setup is in a futuristic city/world, the city I remember resembles the city from <em>Akira</em>: flying cars, full of roads, light etc.</li>
<li>It must be an old anime, late 80s or early 90s. </li>
</ul>

<p>The scene I remember clearly is this guy walking an empty road on that city, but the screen is full with roads on all heights, buildings etc. I think this guy is accompanied by someone else on that scene but I'm not sure.</p>

<p>I tried to find it many times for 5 years or so, but I cant remember anything else at all.</p>

<p>What is this anime?</p>

What's this old school anime with a badass green-haired Sephiroth lookalike?

Is this possibly the [**Escaflowne (film)**](http://escaflowne.wikia.com/wiki/Escaflowne_movie)? It was made in 2000, adapting a TV anime from 1996.

Folken in the film version has long sky-blue hair and dark clothes, and is the main antagonist (he was born as Dune of Adom but became the leader of the Black Dragon Clan).
