What We Think

By the Grace of the Gods is a refreshingly non-woke anime. It sticks to classic adventure and slice-of-life tropes, steers clear of identity politics, and respects cultural traditions. A rare oasis in today’s ideological desert.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

By the Grace of the Gods centers around a male protagonist and focuses on character development, personal growth, and magic world-building without substituting story for ideology. Character traits are defined more by personality and actions than identity traits.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show upholds traditional values: the protagonist builds family-like relationships, hard work is celebrated, and kindness is rewarded. There’s no undermining of masculinity, family, or cultural traditions. It’s about as non-woke as you can get in this department.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t mocked, and the series is surprisingly apolitical. No modern ideological assumptions are forced onto the characters; there’s genuine pluralism and an absence of villainized ‘traditional’ perspectives.
