Grand Blue Dreaming2018

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

Grand Blue Dreaming is spectacularly non-woke, just comedy, chaos, and classic tropes. If you’re tired of modern Western media’s lectures, this is about as laid-back and apolitical as anime gets.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Grand Blue Dreaming puts comedy, character personality, and good old-fashioned absurdity at the center, not ideology. Any diversity is based on pure character quirks or classic stereotypes, not forced representation or identity politics. The show is refreshingly uninterested in modern activist checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Masculinity, traditional humor, family, and friendship are all played for laughs or embraced. The series gleefully leans into masculine antics, sometimes exaggerated to absurdity, but not pathologized. Gender roles and cultural traditions are portrayed without revisionism or apology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no major ideological move here. In our view, the characters are too busy partying, getting into embarrassing situations, and bonding to preach any particular worldview or campaign against traditional values. No strawman villains based on ideological differences either.
