I'm not familiar with that particular anime, but I'm still an infant with respect to experience with anime anyway.

Even so, you're totally not a loon for seeing today's world in entertainment and fictional stories. A lot of this stuff is loosely based on historical events, if just by coincidence or because people that right actual good stories are educated on the past and pull inspiration from it. I'd say it's even more so when you get into the "nerd" genres (at least in America) of things like Sci Fi, Fantasy, Anime.

I'm struggling to give a good specific example, but I've had these feelings of seeing the present-day world in fictional stories a lot lately.
