Ah yes, famously conservative media like One Piece, Ghost in the Shell, Gundam, Princess Mononoke, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and Cowboy Bebop

I can't even understand how anyone could even misinterpret Princess Mononoke as conservative. It's not fucking subtle.
Literally made by a guy who identify as communistAfter double checking I realised that I took an analysis of his works I saw some time ago at face value, he didn't openly self-drscribe as anything but there's matter to discussDoes he? I don't think I've ever heard that before. I've heard him describe himself as an environmentalist and a humanist, but never a communist. Though if he has read Marx, it would explain his "anime was a mistake" misquote quite a bit, as he was talking about how "anime" being a thing is very limiting and how the market is just making things that are "anime" basically commodifying the concept of animation itself.
Pretty sure he stopped calling himself a communist after the Soviet Union fell
Kinda understandable, I probably would take it pretty hard too if I were around at the time
😭
Erratum, I corrected my comment
