Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Charlotte is a Japanese anime largely driven by supernatural plot devices rather than any overt identity themes. Characters are diverse in personality, with character arcs focused on growth, flaws, and realistic consequences. There's little evidence that identity politics override narrative integrity here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show sticks close to typical anime values: family drama, friendships, and coming-of-age. It doesn't actively undermine traditional cultural or family values. Masculinity and femininity are portrayed without subversion, and the series avoids clumsy attempts at cultural revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Charlotte doesn't promote modern western ideological uniformity, nor does it villainize traditional perspectives. Diverse motivations and backgrounds are present, with real internal conflicts and disagreements depicted amongst the characters, steering clear of typical 'monoculture' tropes.
