Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show centers on schoolgirls forming an idol group, focusing on friendship, hard work, and overcoming setbacks. Character identity is driven more by personality quirks than any overt ideological focus. It doesn’t push identity politics or heavily favor representation over story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional cultural values like perseverance, camaraderie, and community spirit are celebrated. While the cast is all-female, it simply reflects the genre rather than pushing anti-family or anti-masculine themes or revising Japanese cultural values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show remains non-political with minimal ideological messaging. If anything, it emphasizes classic school and youth themes. Alternative worldviews aren’t discussed, but there’s no mockery or villainization of traditional perspectives or dissent.
