(you should watch Planetes, it's really good and incredibly based. there's actual ecoterrorism women to root for but this scene where Lucie fucking loses it is still really good even if she's a treat hog)

    I think there's also a scene where the anime calls out the name of the Von Braun, and says 'yeah this is the name of the nazi who killed a bunch of people with his rockets.' I could be misremembering though and it might onlllly be in the manga?

    I don't remember it, so it's probably only in the manga. sadness

    Re: Edel, I agree that she's actually treated decently but the fact that the author is pretty weird about other women raises my sus flags about the forced sex work backstory.

    Re: toxic masculinity, imo Hachi kind of confronts it but the end result is basically just "be toxically masculine in a different way, like your dad, who is a monster".
