Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'Your Lie in April' puts story and character growth front and center, not ideology. Characters are defined by their personalities, struggles, and musical talent, not by their demographic boxes. Forced representation and flawless treatment of diverse characters are simply absent here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series treats family, personal struggle, and traditional values with respect. Masculinity and femininity are portrayed sensitively, and cultural traditions are embraced, not subverted. Morality, grief, and resilience are key foundations driving the story, so it's about as non-woke as modern animation gets.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no discernible ideological agenda here, no mockery of tradition, caricatured ‘bad guys’ espousing dissenting views, or enforced moral uniformity. Characters approach life, struggle, and artistry with individual perspectives, plenty of nuance, and real emotional conflict.
