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

Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman is about as non-woke as you can get by modern standards. It's mostly a celebration of Japanese desserts and the lengths one salaryman will go for sugar, not for social engineering.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman is primarily a lighthearted comedy focused on sweets and daily life, with little focus on current ideological trends. Identity traits do not drive character arcs, and the story is driven by the protagonist's quirky obsession with desserts, not forced representation or agenda.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show respects Japanese work culture, family, and traditional cuisine, and doesn't subvert or mock traditional gender roles or cultural attitudes in any obvious way. There's no sign of revisionism or ideological rewriting of Japanese customs.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The series stays apolitical and makes no effort to villainize any worldview. There is a complete absence of the usual social commentary, making it refreshingly pluralistic (or at least, blandly neutral).
