Leans Traditional
Primary
The film primarily focuses on apolitical themes of personal identity, friendship, and self-discovery, rather than engaging with political ideologies or societal critiques. Its celebration of non-conformity is presented as an individual journey.
The film features a cast that is traditional for its Japanese setting, with no explicit race or gender swaps of roles. Its narrative focuses on themes of individuality and friendship within Japanese subcultures, without critiquing traditional identities or making explicit DEI themes central to the plot.
Secondary
