Thanks so much!! I'll check all these out.

Dallos and Patlabor are both Mamoru Oshii directed things - him, and other anime and manga creators that had a history with Japanese new left tend to have some nice crunchy politics in their works. I'd say that Oshii is the one with the most "openly communisty" work, but others will give you some tasty anti-imperialist themes (like with Yoshiyuki Tomino and certain eras of Hayao Miyazaki)

Oh, cool, that's good to know!

I actually am torrenting the Patlabor TV series as I write and just finished downloading the movies as well as Revolutionary Girl Utena. But I couldn't find Dallos, I'll have to do a Crunchyroll trial to watch it but that's okay.

I'll look out for Oishii and Tomino. Thanks!

For Patlabor, the big one is the "Early Days" 7-part OVA and the movies. The first movie is a fun romp circling around a ridiculous real estate project, and the second is pretty much a 2-hour Metal Gear scene (in the best way). I haven't seen the TV version, but I've heard good things.

I'll look out for Oishii and Tomino. Thanks!

Go watch Mobile Suit Gundam, the TV version specifically, it's fantastic!
