Trigger Revitalized the super robot side of things with SSSS.Gridman and SSSS.Dynazenon. 86 showed a view from the smallest mecha size... And while some didn't like it, I quite enjoyed Ald.Noah Zero... Oh, and Majestic Prince was a good watch too.

I didn't enjoy Darling in the Franxx, but others really liked it.

There's always Gundam too. IBO was good, and I've heard good things about Reconguista in G.

Also, if you never got around to Eureka Seven, Gurran Lagann, etc... then you should.

That's funny, considering how often Sci-fi is the genre that breaks through with revolutionary ideas about previously unimagined futures.

It'll come back once enough people start having newer ideas of the future, it's hard to do sci-fi when technology keeps catching up (Heck, look at drones and smart phones... How many years back do you have to go for those to be purely sci-fi? ~25, if I had to guess.)

But given how other mediums have been doing sci-fi, Like the Expanse series, I think it's only a matter of time for some new ideas to appear in anime.

I'd say both.

T&T because we are surrounded by systems that manipulate our behavior and beliefs for profit.

Consensus, because to your point, the nature of time and our experience as it is changing.

Cosmology and physics have recently revealed some natural authorities that bind our realities together. (infinite universes, the material nature of reality being momentary change)

is the question one of truth and trust, or one of consensus?

long gone are the days where we work in local, small, sub-urban communities and watch the same 30 min evening news and the same front page of the daily gazette or even the NYT/WSJ.

now everyone is subbed to a multitude of personal feeds on a multitude of apps from a multitude of sources, and work with people from all over the world, and no in the post pandemic era, literally virtual talking heads living in different part of the world at the same time.

do we even have a shared reality anymore?
