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

Noein: To Your Other Self is a refreshingly non-woke experience. It focuses on story, relationships, and philosophical ideas rather than on modern ideological concerns, making it feel refreshingly apolitical by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Noein largely prioritizes character development, complex storytelling, and sci-fi concepts over identity-driven casting or messaging. Characters' personalities and arcs are fleshed out based on narrative needs, and there's no discernible emphasis on race, gender, or sexuality at the expense of story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show references themes of family, friendship, and existential purpose without mocking tradition or pushing modern ideological values. Japanese cultural touchstones are presented with respect, and gender roles or religion aren't central topics, let alone subverted.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Noein showcases a variety of worldviews and struggles, especially through its exploration of multiple realities. There's little sense of ideological uniformity, and no heavy-handed villainization of traditional or dissenting perspectives.
