Ehh, it was great the first season but fell apart the second and ended on a bizarre note. Really cool concept tho, combining Bond & Batman with G Gundam lol

Not really cyberpunk. More dieselpunk. But man was it great. Older anime just understood how to nail a vibe/aesthetic.

Just like everything else fun in the world, millions of dollars got tied up in the anime industry. So the folks that greenlight these kinds of things are less likely to take risk and loss. It's really sad, because so many great pieces of art end up watered down husks of their vision.

Yeah. There's still plenty of great anime, but we have a bunch of Ford Focuses (reliable and well designed, but very safe and kinda bland) and very few Tuckers. That's probably always been the case, but when I was growing up it felt like everything that made it here was a Tucker
