@thatbrickster@shitposter.world @noyoushutthefuckupdad@shitposter.world I personally think Watanabe is one of my favorite anime directors and I don't think he is suddenly influenced by the woke or something stupid like that.

The point I'm trying to make is that his scifi is not identity-politics (like how OP interprets it), but I believe instead it is post-identity-politics, like any good futuristic science fiction should be.

I'm mostly trying to prove that Watanabe has always been like this. It's no secret that he is a big of fan of Ridley Scott's Bladerunner's take on diversity and I believe this influence can be consistently seen in any of his shows from Cowboy Bebop, to Animatrix, to Space Dandy, to and now towards Lazarus.
