Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Bubble’s main focus is on spectacle and a loose fairy tale romance. Characters are defined by their roles and struggles, not identity checkboxes. No obvious shoehorned diversity or ideologically-driven casting; the narrative mostly sticks to its own whimsical world-building and action.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no agenda to mock tradition, religion, or gender roles. The film’s themes are universal, alienation, connection, and hope. Male and female characters have distinct strengths and vulnerabilities. It doesn’t strive to revise culture or history.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

No preachy dialogue, no villainizing of dissent, and no forced ideological debates. The movie’s cast is fairly traditional for anime. Identity politics and ‘woke’ moral assumptions aren’t front and center, instead it’s all about personal emotion and individual struggles.
