I'm talking like, Bubblegum Crisis, an Anime that I am somehow aware of but have never watched.
I've seen bits and peaces of the stuff that was airing here in the 2000 like; Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, Big O, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Yu Yu Hakusho, Inuyasha, Full Metal Alchemist, Ranma 1/2, Gundam Wing. I have not even begun to touch 1 Peace. Basically, if it was on Toonami, I've probably seen some of it.
I feel like there is stuff from the late 80s through the 90s that were popular through the import scenes that I probably never heard of, that everyone who is in that scene knows and loves.
LOTGH is good. It's probably more interesting as a marxist than a liberal, but maybe more frustrating too. To me it's clearly, like, space liberal revolution vs. space monarchism/feudalism. The battles and strategies play out like 1700s/1800s wars; the drama is very romantic-era. Haven't watched it in awhile though.
As I'm rewatching it, I'm noticing a lot more that it's not as clear cut as liberalism vs. feudalism, but more like weighing a liberal democracy in decay against a revolutionary liberal autocracy under a Bonaparte figure. The loredump episodes point to a hard-men-soft-men cyclical view of history. It's high-key liberal and low-key fascist.
Yeah, good point.
