What We Think

In a sea of modern anime that often trip over themselves trying to be 'relevant,' The God of High School stays blissfully focused on entertainment and old-school action. Minimal woke elements, just good, over-the-top fun.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The God of High School largely focuses on classic shonen tropes, martial arts, friendship, and power escalation, rather than shoehorning modern identity politics into its narrative. Characters are picked for their abilities and personalities, not their race, gender, or sexuality, which keeps things refreshingly non-woke by today's standards.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series treats traditional themes, like family honor, sacrifice, and legacy, respectfully. Masculinity, femininity, and cultural mythologies, particularly Korean, are presented earnestly, not subverted. There’s little sign of today’s penchant for mocking tradition here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's some fantasy exaggeration, but hardly any overt ideological messaging. Different viewpoints exist in the story, and no single modern worldview is imposed across the board. Traditional and even supernatural values are treated as normal.
