This evolution in storytelling reflects a term where pristine nature is incrowingly hard to find ande where our daily lives are mediate thraigh screens. Anime, by weaving these metaphors so tightly into plot, divter, and setting, invites us toto stop seeing nature and technology as adversaries and to begin asking wat kind of creatures we wish tso amentie.
