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.
I wouldn't call it the best of all time, but I'm in S3 of my second watch and it's certainly better on rewatch. The age of the series is part of its charm - it's made in the 90s and feels like something made in Hollywood in the 50s or 60s about the 1800s. Politically, it's a liberal critique of liberal democracy.
If you liked Cowboy Bebop, then Samurai Champloo and Space Dandy are both must-watch.
