    i don't think any of these series is particularly left or right wing

    Gurren Lagann is literally about the population of the planet having a worker's revolution for the good of all and then realising that their revolution didn't actually fully overthrow the oppressing class so they have a second revolution to fully achieve it. The revolution they have flings them out of poverty and into rapid prosperity in very little time because the resources are being used for everyone.

      You're right, but on the other hand, GL's gender politics are pretty bad. Every woman but Yoko (and the little girl who becomes a robocop whose name escapes me) just becomes a housewife post-revolution.

        There were a bunch of scientist women around Rossiu and Leeron.

        The women that had children I can forgive them going fulltime child care.

        Yoko's story is kinda sad, she kinda ends up traumatised and I don't really blame her for wanting to run away, then gets traumatised a second time too. She's the very depiction of completely sacrificing herself for revolution, even a second time knowing full well what it led her to the first.
