What We Think

Dr. Slump is a refreshingly non-woke relic. Instead of lecturing, it spends 99% of its time being absurd, creative, and just plain goofy. If only modern shows could lighten up like this.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Dr. Slump is a classic comedy anime created in the early 1980s, long before modern identity politics infiltrated media. It’s focused on slapstick humor and quirky sci-fi, not ideological battles or forced messaging. Characters are colorful and zany based on comedic needs, not on fitting a modern checklist.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show lampoons pretty much everyone and everything, but does so in a good-natured, slapstick manner without trying to undermine traditional values or demonize any particular group. Any subversion is purely for laughs, not to score ideological points.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no real agenda here, Dr. Slump is from an era when shows didn’t feel compelled to take sides on modern social issues or beat viewers over the head with ‘the message’. It’s pure comedy chaos with room for all sorts of personalities, quirks, and gags.
