One so obscure that I can't remember the name of it. It was semi-recent harem shit. MC has a childhood friend who is really good at kendo, but isn't supposed to do it anymore because she hurt herself. Some transfer student yandere forces him to pretend to be her BF, and hijinks ensue. At one point there's some chuuni bitch thrown into the mix who literally does nothing at all. Eventually they all end up at a beach and he decides to bang his childhood friend for life. It's extremely confusing, and I don't think I'll ever remember the name of it. I have no idea why I finished it.

Just booted it up again a half hour ago as my pre bedtime comfy show/movie.

I saw it apparently the one and only time it aired on Toonami back in like 2000. Some anon on here helped me find it again like a month or two ago and it's become one of my favorite shows ever. Nostalgia goggles are no doubt on, because the 3D animation is objectively bad, but given the time, was considered top tier. The story and actual animation is actually pretty great. I'd recommend at least watching it once; it consists of four 30 minute episodes so it isn't much of a commitment at all.

Humanity would have just continued down the same path devouring the planet and it's resource to the point where even the new technology couldn't sustain it.

Honest question, What's worse:

>all of humanity maybe dying because some scientists said global warming is real

It's like Zorndyke saw a possible future, feared it, then made it reality as soon as possible because it must be true.

It wasn't really about him fearing a natural disaster it was him fearing humanities nature. According to him humanity would never be satisfied and would keep exploiting the world more and more

Well I guess if he honestly thought the entire planet would become extinct if humanity was allowed power, I can see his motives.

>he did what he did because he thought it right, and humanity just has to deal with it now.
And this is probably the main theme of the show/manga. This is just reality, and this is how humanity has to deal with the future. Zorndyke did what he did, how will the world deal with the consequences?

Which is kind of why I love this show so much. Whether you think Zorndyke was right in his actions or whether you think he was wrong, it deals the reality of "this happened; how can humanity cope?"

Considering how casual my tastes are, probably a random OVA like those from Young Animator Training Project or some old movie like that one with the cello player who talked to animals. There are also extremely old shorts like Kujira, but those barely count as anime.

If we're talking only about TV series then I have no idea.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head aside from this one incredibly bad show of unknown age I watched during a cross province travel about 10 years ago which had an incredibly bad dub and an incredibly bad colour scheme where everything just about everything was blue and an even more incredibly bad plot of a blonde peppy bimbo tank commander who was basically just fantastic at doing shit for no fucking reason.
I've been trying to find the name of that one for years so that I can marvel in how bad it is and make other people sit through it

You say that like things get less obscure over time, when it's mostly the opposite. Especially with as small a medium as (TV) anime, where there are two hundred shows a year and every one have them has a bunch of people aware of or watching them on /a/ or whatever other sites, even the least popular recent shows will wind up with more visibility and awareness than a forgettably average show from twenty years ago.
