Can’t seem to shake this off while watching
I haven’t really seen many people talk about this, and maybe I haven’t developed too far into the show to comment on it either but, doesn’t the anime really dumb down something horrendous and super serious?
I mean I can’t shake the fact that the entire palace is filled with women who were kidnapped and forced either into prostitution or slavery, and yet there seems to be no commentary on that, everyone just moves on like it’s fine?
No scenes of distress, struggle, trauma or oppression seem to be addressed yet, why?
I get that the anime clearly is supposed to be lighthearted but can’t seem myself to watch a lighthearted take on something so absolutely horrendous.
Almost like if someone made an anime on slavery, and didn’t show any struggle, added humour, added dazzle and moved on?
Maybe I haven’t progressed into the anime properly yet, but really can’t seem to shake this off.
