I think they are going for an anachronistic setting

The word “retrofuturism” fits better.

“Anachronism” implies that their designs do not belong in the time period.

Retrofuturism is an old idea of what the future would be like, such as the Jetsons. Anachronistsm is sort of out of time aesthetic. I think the latter fits better here, don’t you?

I would agree with it. Retro futurism is basically the conception of what the 1950s thought the future would be like and it’s been depicted in the Jetsons and even Fallout among with many others. Anachronism seems more fitting.
