Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Grimoire of Zero focuses on the personal journeys, motivations, and natural growth of its main duo. Neither character’s identity feels shoehorned in, and the story prioritizes world-building and organic relationships over box-checking for diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show’s setting leans on traditional fantasy elements: family, honor, and moral choices are all taken seriously in-universe. Masculinity is shown as a virtue in the protagonist, and there’s no sense that the show is out to attack tradition or rewrite cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the story lightly touches on themes like prejudice and fear of the other, it does so through personal stories rather than ideological lectures. Alternative viewpoints aren't demonized, if anything, the show treats differences with surprising maturity for modern anime.
