it's insanely long partly because the manga has been going on for so goddamn long, but partly because the first 4-7 minutes of every episode is theme and recap. finding the title card is a bit of an art form.
on the other hand, for a quasi-NEET with too much time, it is genuinely a rich piece of world-building with openly materialist cause and effect and an embrace of organized leftist action. the part i'm on currently is about an organized coalition of former slaves fighting to overthrow their government and free all the slaves. (the coalition of former slaves got reparations for a former enslavement of a few hundred years with what totals 800 years of basically full welfare, very based idea really.)
but you're not wrong. it's also objectively a maximalist form of story telling. the last 500+ episodes have taken place over the course of an in-universe month.
