    I think even when I watched anime I thought the fights sucked (no strategy like a JoJo's), the powers sucked (no insanity like a JoJo's), the characters sucked and the dialogue was plain. Mina's a babe I guess. I don't know how it is in terms of leftist politics, I feel most of that is usually ad-hoc made up or making more out of "omg a rich villain - this is anti-capitalist!"

    I should of course mention my excellent webserial Urasaria Academy (free on Webnovel!) which features far better fights, far more interesting powers (fog that "fills" things, extreme body/skeletal control that's a play on "what if necromancers could only control their own organs/skeleton", graffiti spraycan that changes the properties but not texture of an object - leading to wood that flows like water), uh, far more realistic characters and far deeper dialogue, training arcs where characters discourse over the nature of crime & its smallest causes, actual anti-cop characters & Neo-Nazi/ICE border agent villains rather than headcanoned ones, etc.

    But it's also a novel and not an anime, so anyway. I'm legally obliged to mention it when I see the opportunity.
