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...
