You may have noticed that out of the line up this column has produced, I’ve done my best to shy away from some of the more obvious picks (well, unless they were really good) for dystopian anime. I haven’t done Appleseed, or Ghost in the Shell, or any of that lot. Despite the subject matter being fitting. Rather, I have chosen to weekly trawl the interwebs in search of somewhat more inaccessible fare.

Seriously? 4chan? What was I thinking? My eyes bled for a week after that.

But nevertheless, I think it’s turned out well. Its in that spirit that I bring you Shangri-La.

Because you knew after last week, there just had to be another dose of Ecopocalypse!

I will admit, at this point I’m not entirely certain what’s happening with this one; criminal school girls with boomerangs in a sunken city. Plus, drag queens. Though I think I saw what looks like a prototype of the Apple Tablet suspended in space (which, I believe, was one of it’s purported functions). Soldier on, dear friends. This may have potential, Tokyo after all would make an excellent tropical jungle.

Just keep in mind, you’re not supposed to look forward to the Lottery.
