One example of improvements to animation is: Utilizing 3d enviornments for 2d animation was first invented by Disney here in the US and was casted on the beauty and the beast animation. This technique is now used in anime because let's face it; No one wants to draw a background hundreds of times over. Now admittedly, the caveat to this is that it's stunning *because* every frame is a work of art, sometimes literally hand-drawn.

36 years this animation looks so good

Truly the cream of the crop for mech design. Hand drawn, realistic design, realistic sizing, very down to earth. Small truck sized is peak "tactical" mech design, just large enough to carry and safely fire antitank weaponry, small enough that multiple can be carried on trucks or transport aircraft. Any larger and square cube law makes them lumbering hulks, a category already well filled by tracked vehicles. Iron man sized exosuits don't have much of a role realistically, the need and balance for strength, speed, stealth, and functionality just doesn't mesh well at that size. You want more power, they become loud, slow, and fuel hungry. You want more stealth and ease of use, ask any hunter and they'll ask why bother with armor at all? Yeah gundams and gurren laganns are fun, but all suspension of disbelief and immersion goes out the window as soon as they mention fighting spirit or some other "magical" power source, or they miraculously power up or heal themselves simply because the pilot wanted it hard enough. It's assuming nobody gives a shit about the functionality, "hurr durr big metal man, metaphor for heavy handed politics and human drama" and not one step deeper. The Madox is shown being designed, tested in half built states. You can see how the pilot is supposed to fit, how each piece works to make this functional, and just for a moment, believe that someone with enough skill and funds could look at this and recreate a functional version in real life.

In 1987, I was a university student. I rented it from a video rental shop and watched it, but I'm surprised that it was already 36 years ago. It's amazing how you can draw without relying on computer hooks.
