    Years ago sometime in the latter half of the 90s, there was an awesome cartoon and being intoxicated i could not remember what it was called.

    From what I remember :

    the world population are in purpose built cities scattered all over (i think) least the city where this is set was purpose built to survive the nuclear war that has happened.

    In this city a machine/computer looks after everybody. It has become their champion against the enemy (cant remember what it was fighting but it was pretty kickass at it).

    It starts to perceive itself as a god.

    It "loves" the attention it gets from the population.

    For some reason some outsiders decide this is a bad idea and try to shut it down - not to be confused with same outsiders that it fights to protect the people.

    I liked the machine and could not figure out why they had to ry and shut it down. Anyone got a clue what this anime/mangA was called?
    (I know my description was pretty ropey).

    If its a TV series its anime not manga because manga is a comic and anime is an "animation" or TV series (it might help narrow down your search?) I have never heard of something like this although it does sound like it fits the genre perfectly therefore ill have a look around and ask a few friends!

    Thanks for clarifying the definition only been a fan of anime past 20+ years and did not know that was the difference!

    I been given some lists to look through thanks to Crimsonmaster, and going through them too.
    Been wanting to know what it was called since the 90s! (sure its not in 2000s - going by crews i was with socially lol)

    Any suggestions are welcome and I have found a number more anime I had almost completely forgotten recently so soon will have an anime weekend or something :)
