This was originally supposed to be a movie about people's ignorance of their own religion. When Steve Drain came across Fred Phelps he decided that Phelps had the most airtight theology of anyone he'd interviewed, and not only changed the course of the movie to focus entirely on Phelps, but he and his wife also joined Phelps's church/cult and made their daughters join as well.
Well honestly, Phelps' philosophy is pretty internally consistent (it's hard to screw up "everyone is so fucked forever"), which is more than can be said for some far better theologies.
Fullmetal Alchemist also had pretty detailed technology.
Something i found interesting: there is a very prominent telephone kiosk in both series in which a particularly infamous scene takes place. In the first FMA, it's an anchronistically modern-looking glass-fronted kiosk. In Brotherhood, it's clearly based on a K6 (with way too many windows and the dome's the wrong shape, but it's still recognizably a K6 and not an earlier model), which makes more sense for the setting.
The level of detail is not, no, but in Brotherhood especially, some care is taken to depict early 20th century technology realistically, which impressed me.

Yes. Was a good show.
i should thank you, actually, because you had a Lain avatar back on TVT, which was what sparked my initial curiosity.

How come most people on this forum are fans of the animus and the mangas?
Because its like a niche thing (In European mainly)
i remember Pokémon and Digimon being pretty popular when i was a kid.
i wouldn't really class myself as a fan of anime. There are a few series i'm really into, but most of the cartoons i've watched are American.
i've barely read any manga.
There are a couple popular children's anime over here.
idk it's really not that niche a thing. Most of my friends like at least Bleach or something.
