Burst City - http://www.midnighteye.com/reviews/burstcit.shtml
It's coming to R1 DVD Jun-27-06
Thomas in Love (Thomas est amoureux) - http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?id=5360
I think I mentioned this one before but I don't know if you had a chance to look into it. It's arguable as to whether this is cyberpunk or not (there's a whole lot of cyber and not much punk) but I think a lot of underlying themes in the film are very cyberpunk. You have a near future, big corporations, and the blurring of the real and the virtual. It's one of the best examples of French Sci-Fi that I've ever seen but it's definitely not for everyone.

I also noticed that A.D. Police - To Protect and Serve isn't on the list. A.D. Police - To Protect and Serve is the 12 episode series while A.D. Police Files is the 3 episode OVA.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=292
It's listed as A.D. Police (TV) on ANN but if you scroll down the page you can see that it was released on DVD as A.D. Police - To Protect and Serve.

Hi Deadimpulse, Thomas in Love looks great! My apologies if I missed this earlier. And yeah, we've definitely talked about Ishii's Burst City - I can't wait for that to come out on DVD. And yeah, I knew there was a Bubblegum Crises episode I didn't have.

At last I found title from East Europe ( if not counting Japanese-Polish production "Avalon").
1962's Jiri Trnka's movie/animation from Czechoslovakia - "Kybernetická babicka" ("The Cybernetic Grandma "). By descriptions it's surrealistic sci-fi horror about androids!!!

There is released Jirí Trnka animation DVD, but it do not contain this one. Sucesfully, I found a rip (probably TV/VHS rip) in P2P!

Cool! For some reason when you mentioned this on the post I thought this was a Sogo Ishii movie. I'll have fun tracking this one down. Thanks so much for continuing to find these! 
Just found and ordered a copy: http://www.lostsilver.com

I like Japanese cyberpunk a lot, so I'm trying to find all the hidden treasures in this subgenre
Check this out!!!

"Also (but I'm afraid even most Twitch readers won't know about this one), a DVD release of Tsuburo No Gara would be awesome. Some independent but extremely well made Japanese cyberpunk movie. There's no distribution whatsoever, and it's only been shown at festivals as far as I know. Not even a poster was made if I got it all right."
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0459575/plotsummary
"A man and a woman wake up in a hospital room. She's a nurse, he's a patient. Problem: a large metal object on his back. While the woman tries desperately to escape, the man experiences an inner struggle on the borderline of dream and reality, sort of. What has happened before? With its experimental soundscapes, remarkable filtering and razor-sharp editing the comparison of Tsuburo with Shinya TSUKAMOTO's Tetsuo is valid. Tsuburo offers the viewer the most artistic and surreal side of Japanese cinema."
How to see this one?...

"Meatball Machine" !!!
http://www.twitchfilm.net/archives/005381.html
"Full-throttle splatter-ific Japanese cyberpunk science-fiction/horror at its most aggressive, this mind-blower about alien parasites that turn their human hosts into slave 'Necroborgs' will leave you dizzy and drained - in a good way. ¶ If you're craving an experimental science-fiction/horror rollercoaster that will have you leaving the theater feeling like you just had your entire brain and body shaken and stirred, Meatball Machine is exactly the full-strength cinematic potion you need. A feature-length expansion of a short film [note: according to numerous Japanese sources, the running time of Meatball Machine (1999) was 70 minutes] previously created by co-director Junichi Yamamoto (the other director here is Yudai Yamaguchi, responsible for the comedic cult favorite Battlefield Baseball), Meatball Machine makes the early aggressive cyberpunk endeavors of directors Shinya Tsukamoto (Tetsuo) and Sogo Ishii (Burst City) look like models of restraint and tranquility. Meatball starts off as a sweet romance, but that doesn't last long: shy, lonely factory worker Yoji has a crush on fellow factory employee Sachiko, but just when they start to bond... well, aliens invade the earth and attach themselves as parasites to human bodies. The method of parasitism is grotesque enough - the aliens implant tumor-like globules on the shoulders of their victims and pilot them like robots (whilst also blinding them with devices that penetrate their eye sockets) - but when Yamamoto and Yamaguchi take the viewer inside the parasite blobs to observe the slimy mini-extraterrestrial activity first-hand, then you know you're onto a stomach-turning winner. Meatball Machine puts its cinematic foot all the way down on the gas pedal and doesn't let up until the inevitable battle between Yoji and Sachiko - a touching testament to young love, blood, and alien ooze."

No. Let's pray for "Meatball Machine and "Tsuburo No Gara" DVD coming soon.
Of course, the trailer is short , and Necroborgs look freaky avesome, but the way of "Meatball Machine" cinematography looks not so arty/visual as "Tetsuo"or "Rubber's Lover", more narrative, like Takashi Mike movies.

Hajimamashte, dozo yuroshiku! pleased to meet ya!
Whilst drooling at this list, thoughts..
did you consider Alive | another link to it here I was also thinking today about Versus, just for the charachter crossover..
anime series Noein with Noein, I thought it would suck, but after putting up with 12 year old delimas, I was pleasantly suprised some of the graphics relating to the interdimensional "other" world is pretty sweet.
film short, Kakurenbo has a neo-tokyo future tokyo setting, although it's mostly horror, and they end up using the kids bodies to supply the city with elctricity.
and I really hope you keep Robot Carninval on your list, despite it's 80's appearance... classic for the robots n' anime.
{jeeze this list rawks, slurp}
