so far it holds up well! some mildly janky bits of early 2000s digipaint and cg aside it's a gorgeous show, and the show seems very aware of how fucked up the cops are. only real issue politics-wise is that the individual cops we follow mostly have good intentions, but even within that they never really manage to do anything beyond kill or ruin the lives of people who sometimes deserve it and sometimes don't. very melancholy show
also the major is a transgender lesbian
in that she is in a relationship with 2 women, and is shown to be VERY attached to her very fem presentation. when batou asks why she's in a smaller woman's body she punches him in the face and when we see her online avatar it looks identical to her robot body (which we know she could choose to look any way she wants) so we know she chose the way she looks and is very invested in the way she looks, while she really doesn't like talking about her life before she got her robot body as a child
