Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Battle Angel (1993) keeps its focus on gritty storytelling, exploring personal identity and survival in a dystopian world. There's no obvious effort to shoehorn characters based on checkboxes; instead, the world and its inhabitants feel organically developed. Gally's journey is about self-discovery, not a lecture on modern social issues.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show doesn't go out of its way to undermine family, masculinity, or tradition. It offers a tough world but doesn't use that as a springboard to criticize traditional values. There's no sense of religion or cultural traditions being sneered at or rewritten for ideological points.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While its world may be bleak, there’s no overbearing agenda. Battle Angel doesn't stuff the cast with caricatured villains to mock traditional worldviews. Characters face moral choices, and perspectives are varied, even if grim. There’s room for different values, however dystopian the setting.
