10 Anime That Are Great Because They Aren't Afraid Of Politics
The idea that all art is political sparks debates among fans, and anime is no exception.
Anime often gets referenced for having political themes or for not having them, with either side of the debate often being supported with out-of-context scenes and dialogues.
Despite the debate, plenty of great anime work well specifically because of their political themes and ideologies.
- Revolutionary Girl Utena by J.C.Staff is a notable example, where Utena Tenjou enters her school's dueling tournament and wins the hand of the Rose Bride, Anthy Himemiya.
The claim that all art is political may be debatable, but it doesn’t mean that no art is political.
These anime stand out and are worth watching, regardless of one's views on politics.
