Line 53:
* Averted in ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]:[[Stand Alone Complex]]''. In the second season, the threat of nuclear bombs inside a Japanese metropolis becomes a major plot point in the later episode. {{spoiler|Although their actual existance always stays very ambigious.}} In the finale, {{spoiler|[[The Man Behind the Man|the people behind the government]] fire a nuclear ICBM at one of their own cities.}}
* The violence showing the aftermath of nuclear war and message that [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped|nuclear weapons are bad]] is one of the reasons why ''[[Future War 198X]]'' is [[Keep Circulating the Tapes|extremely hard to find.]]
* In ''[[Heat Guy J]]'' most of the world's population has been destroyed after they appropriated the technology of the resident [[Superior Species]]. Originally, it was used for peaceful purposes (e.g. energy production), but [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|people started wars]] using this [[Applied Phlebotinum]]. The survivors stopped trusting each other and closed themselves into seven city states, and the [[Superior Species|Celestials]] closely monitor any peaceful use of their technology. It's never stated what it is exactly, but it does sound an awful lot like nuclear power.
* [[Axis Powers Hetalia]] manages to be about anthropomorphic countries, set partly during World War II, with the personifications of America and Japan as main characters, and still never mention nuclear weapons. Partly because the WWII part of the story never gets to that point (it's more or less [[Aborted Arc|abandoned]] by now), and partly because the series avoids showing the [[Darker and Edgier]] parts of history.
* The ancient warriors from ''[[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind]]'' certainly count.
