I know it’s not strictly anime but we can choose not to be petty fucks about animation.

Just watched S1 of this and I can’t help but see a strong allegory. Hell is literally a prison for undesirables that heaven regularly comes down into for the purposes of doing various genocidal exterminations. The population of Hell are unable to fight back. Then a major upset event occurs that makes everyone realise that heaven can bleed.

I can’t help but think all the way through this show that Hell desperately needs a liberation army to break out of their imprisonment.

Anyone seen it? Thoughts? First couple of eps felt a bit ehh but it finds its stride when it starts leaning in on being a musical and some of the characters are genuinely really fucking good, looking at you Alastor with your incredible radio voice.

Anyway if you haven’t watched it I kinda recommend it and not to be put off by the first couple eps feeling overly edgy/cringe. It finds a good rhythm after them.

    Egh, divvint care… doesn’t any damned show nowadays show the similar anti-oppression stuff… like @JoeByeThen@hexbear.net said…

    Anyone can do that… it takes a person to develop it and turn it a bit into science of why it happens, how to stop it, and how to rebuild from that base of society…

    @ me again if you found more lore about this, relating to that…
