This was one of the first anime I ever watched, so I'll also have a soft spot for it, but the bleak post-apocalyptic technological world is a perfect dystopia is excellent and indicative of the paths Japanese animation would take in the future as well as the influence that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had on the country and the animation industry in particular. The music and animation style has dated somewhat but is 'classic' anime as in at the beginning of its infiltration of the Western world. It doesn't take away from the series at all.
