GIJoe has ALWAYS been futuristic.
Even year 1 had Flash, the JUMP, the HAL and Cobra Commander's Blowdryer Gun. Things like the Flight Pod, the Stellar Stilletto, Battle Force 2000/Iron Grenadiers as a whole and the Terrordrome are, ultimately, no less realistic than the Ice Cutter, the new HISS or even the Cycle Armor.

As for anime, I don't see it. The figures feature realistic head sculpts and lifelike proportions.
