Despite the fact that it's not a cult animation, it's above all a science fiction anime released during a period when French animation was capable of targeting something other than kids, but above all a French animation.

Synopsis : In 2040, in a futuristic, polluted world, technological progress has reduced crime and conflict, among other things.

But at the price of absolute totalitarianism.

Cyrano fights against the fascism of Trichelieu, the prime minister who wants to dominate the United World, and take the place of the current president, Professor Sarto. The latter is led by Valvert and aided by the Minister of Police, Guiche.

Trichelieu wields politics with implacable cunning. But he has a weak point: Roxane, his mysterious secretary.

Cyrano is helped in his fight by several comrades-in-arms who join him in defending the underworld: Chris, Bret, Roxanne and Francky the monkey.

Of course, you have to be able to see it in its uncensored version, and to date, unfortunately, there has been no video release for this anime.

We owe this work to Jean Chalopin, to whom we owe: Inspecteur Gadget, Les jumeaux du bout du monde, Cupido, Sophie et Virginie, MASK, Jayce et les conquérants de la lumière, Pole Position and Ulysse 31. Lots of Franco-Japanese production and the golden age of French animation for teenagers, families and adults.

It's not the best of animation, but an interesting story, which wanted to play on a more adult course, but censorship being what it is, didn't go through with the creative process.

If a blu-ray version comes out, I'll definitely buy it, hoping for a remake of this series better reworked just for video. We can always dream...

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.

The characters of these stories are involved in daring and often dangerous situations, requiring them to rely on their physical prowess, skills, and quick thinking to overcome challenges and adversaries.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.

The sci-fi genre, short for science fiction, features imaginative and futuristic concepts that are often rooted in scientific principles, technology, and possibilities. These stories delve into "what if" questions and can serve as a platform to address contemporary social, political, and ethical issues by projecting them onto future or alternate settings.
