What We Think

This series is refreshingly non-woke, following well-worn fantasy conventions instead of diving into modern ideological trends. It’s unapologetically classic in its storytelling, making it a solid choice for viewers weary of today's typical Hollywood sensibilities.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on a straightforward power fantasy with a human protagonist rising through the demon ranks based on his magical ability. There’s no apparent pushing of identity politics or forced diversity; the emphasis remains firmly on merit and classical storytelling tropes. Character traits like race or gender are not foregrounded over ability or narrative purpose.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional anime values like camaraderie, inner strength, and duty are present. There’s no noticeable subversion of gender roles, nor attempts at cultural revisionism. Masculine characters are depicted without ridicule or pathologizing, and the family/religion aspects remain untouched or traditional.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little to no overt ideology present, aside from the typical fantasy good-vs-evil themes. Dissenting views aren’t particularly villainized or caricatured, and multiple character motivations are explored within the context of the story’s setting, not modern identity-based politics.
