The theme of the dangers of technology has existed since Mary Shelly's Frankenstein and the rise of the factory during the Industrial Revolution.
In film, the postmodern era occurred around the time when the Japanese economy boomed during the 80s, and Blade Runner came out. The dangers of technology were prevalent, such as human looking robots. What is a statue or a picture of a human even? Is that not considered the same? (I believe I read somewhere that humans were confused at first when this happened.
What if a statue like a tree had a brain? Trees have bodies and cells.
What is the brain and memory really? Maybe this was a commentary on US fears of the Japanese economy during the Reagan era? The allegory of the cave is present here and the world that you experience is your world.
The Major is a model, both in terms of item type, such as car models, and feminine representation, such as car models!
What is human?
And of course, Japan is beautiful thanks to Mamoru Oshii.

How do you describe LBX?
LBX uses Yugioh's art style similar to . It's not a dark shock factor anime like that was, but is more of a thriller with Kubrickian relevations.
Naive kid characters that don't know a world of war they're in.
Cool characters working for the government, Actually a bit sinister than they're
Then again, they actually participate unlike the likely viewer.
It's sort of like Neon Genesis Evangelion except more kid friendly.
It's a Transformers-ish war, with Gundam toy model product placements being treated as Pokemon. Maybe even beneath as they're never really truly treated like characters. And should they be? Is it no different than naming your gun?
Also, they're crazy (bio and) weapons being developed behind the scenes.
It's not a really heavy show, but the little details are really appreciable. Great voice acting, a heck of a creator, and good production all around.
It's unique and should be given a look.

Digimon Fusion "Mikey the Light Warrior" and "Showdown in the Sand Zone" etc arc
This is really good.
Reapmon was a really good star for this arc, defeating a nostalgic, powerful in multiple ways warrior such as Angemon. Defeated, losing hope, losing a friend, losing an ally.
Is Angemon resurrrected? Can you kill an angel? Is he like a Pokemon where there are so many in his species? (In the court episode, YES HE IS!)
A war in the sand in contemporary times.
References to the original Digimon storyline.
