What We Think

'Another' is about as non-woke as they come. It sticks to atmospheric horror and a tight mystery, avoiding all the usual modern ideological trappings. Refreshingly focused on story rather than soapboxing.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Another' is a supernatural thriller that focuses heavily on mystery and suspense, not identity or modern ideological themes. Characters are developed based on their personalities, skills, and their role within the horror plot. There's virtually no forced representation or narrative bending for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series neither mocks nor undermines family, tradition, or religion. Any references to cultural norms are treated with neutrality, simply as part of the story's eerie atmosphere. The drama roots itself in Japanese folklore and school culture, not modern social commentary.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no obvious promotion of any modern ideological agenda or villainization of dissenting viewpoints. The show is apolitical, focusing purely on horror and intrigue. The supernatural threat is the core antagonist, not any caricatured group or worldview.
