Neo Tokyo

The film does not explicitly depict non-straight or non-cisgender identities and lacks scenes showing intimate relationships between individuals of the same sex. The stories focus on personal survival and revenge in futuristic or historical settings.

Female characters play significant roles in driving the story, especially in segments involving sentient energy. They display intelligence and strength, which challenges traditional gender hierarchies and avoids female subordination.

The work focuses on Japanese cultural and historical specifics. It avoids Western storytelling norms by emphasizing Japanese aesthetics and philosophy over Anglo-Saxon clichés.

The anthology criticizes Western science and institutional stability. Centralized authority is portrayed as corrupt, embracing moral relativism through a lens of systemic chaos.

Physical and psychological trauma appear mainly as plot devices to heighten horror. There is limited exploration of neurodivergence or disability through character's ability to drive the story.
