In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Death Parade is about as non-woke as anime gets in the mid-2010s. It focuses on timeless moral questions and avoids the ideological trends that more recent shows often showcase. If you want story over sermon, this is your kind of show.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Death Parade prioritizes story and character depth over modern identity politics. Characters are diverse in personality, not shoehorned into forced representation based on current ideological trends. There’s no clear evidence of narrative being compromised for ideological reasons.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series examines complex moral questions and explores themes like death, consciousness, and judgment through a mostly traditional lens. It neither subverts nor aggressively undermines religion, family, or gender roles; instead, it leans on universal human dilemmas.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Death Parade is refreshingly pluralistic. Characters portray a spectrum of worldviews and, rather than echo modern ideological uniformity, confront real ethical gray areas. Traditional perspectives are treated seriously, not mocked or villainized.
