See that the protagonist suffers a loss that he can't simply fix with a jump off a cliff. Have stakes. If respawning to checkpoints is the only way to advance the narrative, the very least the creators could do would be to place Suburu at the crossroad of a decision that would allow advancement only if someone else were to perish. Let there be permanent blood on his hands, not just a never-ending clean slate. Don't resolve psychological trauma like it's just some phase people get over after a few days. Don't just wave around psychology like it's a toy. People don't simply undo damage because the plot demands a rational mind in a given scenario. This shouldn't change even for Suburu. Embrace it fully. Let go of safety nets if you truly
want something that's "deep" and not just another copy of something other creators (Satoshi Kon)
have proven is possible to achieve.
And really, this is just covering one aspect the show chooses to claim as its own.
Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go, itself a co-production with Japan, with an old-school Super Sentai/Tokusatsu flavor. Many episodes of SWAT Kats have anime-like uses of shadows and shading. The series also has some of the most fluid animation and action scenes you'll find in 90s cartoons. This is probably because it was (for the most part) animated by
Mook DLE,
whom also helped out on Eureka Seven, Gungrave, R. O. D the TV and Mars Daybreak. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) has a Five-Episode Pilot animated by Toei Animation and several later episodes also done in Japan in a distinctly anime-like style at points. This predated the actual anime based on the series. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) is particularly Animesque in terms of storytelling but many of the action scenes have a clear anime influence. The opening sequence even has a Shout-Out to AKIRA. This actually got more pronounced as the series went on and the "Back to the Sewer" season dropped all pretense whatsoever.
