One thing I love about anime is that when the authors really want to drive home a thematic concept they throw in these humble observations about the human condition and demonstrate it in the most absurd contexts.

Evangelion does this. I would highly recommend Mob Psycho 100 for this as well (by the one punch man guy, and similar but not sarcastic)

The first season of Psycho Pass is really good in this regard as well (second season not so much). Some of the best sci-fi I’ve seen in a long time.

I really enjoyed one of the more subtle points the Psycho Pass movie made as well, reflected in the dynamic between two different shots involving two of the main characters in the film. It drives home the point about the difference between a technical victory and a lasting cultural victory.
