What We Think

Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ is about as non-woke as a mecha anime can get, focused on story, stakes, and engaging characters rather than modern ideological preachiness. It’s a relic from pre-woke times, blessedly free of the usual Hollywood checklists.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ stays focused on its sprawling mecha conflict and coming-of-age themes rather than prioritizing identity politics. Characters are diverse for the era, but casting and development revolve around personality, not checking boxes. Forced representation and ideological priorities are virtually absent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values, including heroism, sacrifice, and familial bonds, are present and largely respected. While it plays with gender roles for comic relief, it never feels like a lecture against masculinity or tradition. There is little to no attempt to rewrite history or long-standing norms to fit a modern agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The series explores a wide range of perspectives, including the personal cost of war and varying political ideologies, without reducing dissenting views to caricatures. Characters are allowed to clash and grow. Modern ideological uniformity is nowhere to be found.
