What We Think

Dimension W is the rare sci-fi anime that puts story and characters over lectures and quotas. With minimal woke trappings and a focus on old-fashioned narrative and themes, this is a non-woke oasis in a parched landscape of modern media.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Dimension W puts narrative first. Characters are developed through their actions and experiences rather than identity factors. Identity politics are barely on the radar, casting choices and plotlines serve the story and worldbuilding, not modern ideological checklists. Mila may be an oddball, but her quirks are explained within the sci-fi context, not imposed tropes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show doesn't take shots at traditional values or masculinity. If anything, it leans on classic anime themes, personal redemption, sacrifice, and the importance of individual honor are front and center. There's no finger-wagging or cultural revisionism. It’s refreshingly old-school.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative philosophies and motivations exist among the characters. No one gets villainized for a 'wrongthink' worldview, conflicts feel organic, not ideological. There’s debate, differing backgrounds, and sincere, non-caricatured antagonists. Dimension W keeps the echo chamber doors firmly shut.
