And post your list of the ten best anime of all time here: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2208449
I wish you a Happy Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
Of course, the animation has become dated and a lot of the heavy lifting is done by the great pacing set by the writing and the cinematography, compounded with the score. But the actual designs of the characters and world are very good, sort of reminds me of a retrofuturism of the 20s, especially the city landscape looked a bit like that German film "Metropolis". It's good to see that not everything was influenced by Star Wars.
Also, their dystopian future is definitely one of the more appealing ones. And realistic. We are heading to a somewhat similar future, but it seems like all of these sci-fi thought that the state would be the one controlling people's lives, when it's going to be massive corporations. The state can always be accounted for, corporations... not so much.
