Love that he included the 70s in this. Famous era for optimistic, apolitical movies with no sexual or racial themes.

The first Gundam is from that era and Newtypes were portrayed as psychedelic world conscious emphats that would bring a better peaceful world. Basically the OG “the kids are alright”/“Zoomers will save us”
