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.
Bulgaria is, unfortunately, a country that has completely allowed itself to be at the mercy of greater powers since the end of the communist era. Or rather, since its beginning. While it can't be said that Bulgaria is as degenerate as the West in every aspect, it is heading towards that way, especially in the capital - where all degeneracy originates, actually. I personally know a transgender person, although I wish I didn't. He has a lesbian boyfriend bodybuilder.
I'm thinking of re-watching all of Hokuto no Ken. It's going to be quite the undertaking, though. There's still so many awesome stuff from the 80s and 90s I haven't watched. It's shameful, since I've been watching anime from the 2000s, but the number of anime I've watched is so low.
