What We Think

"Engage Kiss" is a non-woke breath of fresh air, focused on fun, relationships, and a touch of chaos instead of heavy-handed messaging. The show’s priorities are entertainment and drama, not scoring activism points.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Engage Kiss" puts story and character quirks front and center, rather than making identity the main selling point. The cast is diverse in personality, not just in arbitrary traits, and conflicts don’t hinge on lecturing the audience. The work prioritizes plot twists, action, and romance, none of which appear sacrificed in the name of virtue signaling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show treats relationships, family bonds, and occasionally faith in a fairly classic anime style. Masculinity isn’t excessively mocked, and female leads earn their competence through action rather than condescension. Overall, it doesn’t seem eager to rewrite or undermine foundational values, though some modernisms are present.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a refreshing lack of ideological preaching here. Multiple viewpoints are explored, even if not always deeply, and there is no obsessive caricaturing of traditional values or dissenters. For the most part, it avoids the modern monoculture trope of aggressively enforcing uniform ideals.
