Dude- the anime was way ahead of its time, so much so that it was scary accurate in predictions- just like other sci-fi greats.
My advice to most is: dont re-watch the anime. You saw it 22 years ago and there is no need to ruin this version by drawing comparisons which, is satisfyingly true to the original source material in more ways than not. If you watch this after rewatching the anime, it will seem redundant. Which is why i will save the original for after this pretty dope ass show.
Everything is smooth and violent and slick and beautiful.
I think people forget that wayyy back in '98, trans, sexuality, social commentary... was all present in the anime. It takes place in the future for poops sake- of course it wasnt forced. Doesnt feel forced here either its just; unfortunately the world we live in. If you want content, you gotta put up with a minimal amount of wokeness. But in general, all other shows and movies are too woke and annoying and ruin the story.
Just watch the first 2 episodes and decide to continue or not. What else u got goin on?
