Future War 198X/YMMV


 * Anvilicious
 * Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped: Of course Japan knows that nukes are bad, but distributing it among both East and West Germany must have been an eye-opener.
 * Awesome Music: In the English dub, there are songs by Rush and Asia throughout, and in the original Japanese, the opening is "Ai yue ni Kanashiku" by Poplar (found in the trailer here and the Ending Theme is the heartrending "Pathetic Love, It's My Destiny" by Kazuko Kawashima. The haunting score by Seiji Yokohama also works.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Barefoot Gen-worthy graphic depictions of skin melting off the faces of the submarine crewmen as well as the destruction of the world.
 * Tear Jerker: Depression fuel throughout; the child being comforted by Laura with his mother's corpse at his feet, Michael snapping after, the destruction of and finally everyone throwing down their weapons and dreaming of a better day.
