What We Think

Surprisingly non-woke for a modern anime, Villainess Level 99 tells an entertaining story without prioritizing ideological talking points over fun or character realism. If anything, it’s a breath of fresh air in today’s climate.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show centers on a female protagonist who is both competent and likable but faces real challenges and development. Her strengths fit the world’s logic, and her identity isn’t forced in for diversity points, making this one of the rare cases where the narrative doesn’t buckle under ideological baggage.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like friendship, perseverance, and personal accountability are core themes. There’s no real undermining of family, masculinity, religion, or morality, and gender roles are treated pretty neutrally. The fantasy setting allows for quirks but doesn’t rewrite cultural basics for a modern agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the story has a positive view of self-acceptance, it doesn’t villainize alternative views or push an overt ideological message. Dissenting perspectives aren’t mocked but rather form part of the main character’s struggles. There’s room for differing personalities, not just one ‘approved’ mindset.
