Captain Planet: Japan edition. There's another anime out there that fits that analogy better, but its name is escaping me at the moment. How I imagine the whole thing went down: A new studio was looking for a big name to make a big hit to put their studio on the map around the turn of the century. Enter Shoji Kawamori of Macross and Escaflowne fame, who was reading Time Magazine or The Economist or whatever that were saying how bad things are gonna be in the 21st century coz of Global Warming, overpopulation, etc., and he said, "time to yell at everyone to dobetter". And thus Arjuna came to be.

Its very well done early 2000s show and the story telling is pretty nice. The problem is its very opinionated, which i thoroughly enjoyed, but that's because I didnt take it personally, and the stuff i disagreed with, I took it in the spirit of "Man this old man's really cutting loose". If you cannot stomach the stuff it says its gonna be a huge let down.
