What We Think

Neon Genesis Evangelion is about as non-woke as you can get for a psychologically dense anime. While it questions everything, from human relationships to divinity, it does so on its own terms, not to serve a modern ideological agenda. Worth a watch for those tired of today's woke formula.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show is more concerned with complex characters, psychological exploration, and mecha action than with pushing modern identity politics. Any diverse casting feels organic to the dystopian world. Character flaws and growth are central; ideology never overshadows story or personality.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Evangelion explores themes of family, existentialism, and religion, but it does so through a critical and philosophical lens rather than aggressively undermining cultural norms. While it challenges traditional roles, it does not fall in line with modern 'woke' subversions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Multiple worldviews clash throughout the series, with no obvious ideological monoculture. In fact, the show avoids easy moral answers and lets characters struggle with contradictory beliefs. No one worldview dominates or is mocked excessively.
