What We Think

‘Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai’ is about as non-woke as anime gets these days. It’s a straightforward, classic heroic fantasy with little to no ideological preaching, just the good old-fashioned virtues and adventure that many fans miss in modern media.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show sticks to traditional fantasy storytelling, focusing on merit, growth, and heroism. Characters are chosen for narrative relevance, not identity. Diverse representation is minimal and organic, definitely not forced.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Classic virtues like courage, friendship, and self-sacrifice are front and center. Masculinity, femininity, family, and mentorship are treated respectfully, not mocked or undermined. No attempts at rewriting traditions or subverting values here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The worldview is refreshingly apolitical. Different perspectives are presented through distinct character motivations and moral dilemmas, rather than pushing a single ideological message. There’s plenty of nuanced debate and growth.
