What We Think

An offbeat, non-woke gem that values eccentricity and comedy over social commentary. 'Arakawa Under the Bridge' is refreshingly free from ideological preaching and maintains narrative integrity throughout.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on unique, eccentric characters rather than prioritizing identity politics or shoehorning in diverse representation for its own sake. Its humor and surreal storytelling take center stage, and character identity isn't used as a vehicle for modern ideology. It’s quirky, not preachy.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little to no agenda-driven subversion of culture, gender, or religion in the show. Traditions and roles are played for absurdist comedy, not for lecturing viewers about societal issues. If anything, it pokes fun at everyone equally, regardless of background.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The series doesn’t push a uniform ideological message. Instead, it explores a strange community where everyone is odd in their own way, with no heavy-handed moralizing or villainizing of traditional views. Mostly, it’s about embracing weirdness, not making statements.
