Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The series maintains a neutral stance by focusing on the apolitical themes of mystery, crime, and human psychology, while critiquing ideological extremes in the pursuit of justice from multiple perspectives without endorsing a specific political solution.
The movie adheres to traditional character representation typical of its Japanese anime origin, without explicit race or gender swaps of roles that would be considered traditionally white in a Western context. Its narrative focuses on mystery and psychological themes, and does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center DEI themes.
Secondary
The anime features a prominent character, Hashiba, whose deep romantic devotion to the male protagonist, Kobayashi, is a central and un-problematized aspect of his character arc. While the series is dark and psychological, it portrays this same-sex attraction with dignity and complexity, without framing it as a source of ridicule or inherent tragedy. Kobayashi's frequent cross-dressing also challenges gender norms in a neutral context.
The film "Rampo Kitan: Game of Laplace" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on mystery and detective work without engaging with transgender identity in any capacity, resulting in no relevant portrayal to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The anime adapts characters inspired by Edogawa Ranpo's works. While some characters have stylized appearances, their canonical genders in the show remain consistent with their male portrayals in the original source material. Kobayashi's cross-dressing is an in-plot disguise, not a gender swap.
Rampo Kitan: Game of Laplace is an original anime series featuring new characters inspired by the works of Edogawa Ranpo. There is no prior established canon for these specific characters to constitute a race swap.
