I disagree with this.

The animation doesn't hold up now, but at the time, the beauty was in the uniqueness. People got killed. There was family tension and failure. A kid and a monkey wore the same clothes.

The "plots" were like nothing in the animated genre in America at the time. And, for an entire generation of American children, a great big questionmark formed over everyone's heads, translated as "WTF is wrong with the Japanese?"
