I mean it starts off as a thinly veiled metaphor for worker-ruler exploitation, then it just literally becomes the pursuit for working-class revolution, then it ends suddenly and disappointingly.
darling and the franxx is like this too. it literally seems to be building towards a proletarian revolution led by a self-depropagandizing vanguard when it suddenly reverses course and the ruling class voluntarily fucks off because of a deus ex, leaving the proles to reclaim the earth while others end the struggle on their behalf. it very much seems like Trigger got pressured to not run the original ending to the story because it was a thinly veiled call for revolution. they also seem to have sorted the problem internally because Promare just openly says that climate change - a human created problem exacerbated because mutual annihilation is the only path available to the bourgeoisie - can only be resolved by revolution. (fwiw, Promare is what Don't Look Up wanted to be but couldn't because it was written by liberals).
completely uncritical support for Studio Trigger. Kill La Kill - a show about the need for left unity between anarchists and Marxists in order to fight fascism and the bourgeoisie - and Promare are pinnacle examples of media that quietly teach theory while masquerading as pure entertainment.
They tried to stuff like 80 chapters of the manga into the last five episodes of the anime, like the last ten minutes of the last episode is a jumbled summary of an entire arc of the story.
Truly bizzare decision since every other anime is perfectly fine with stopping in the middle of a story when they run out of seasons and just telling you to read the manga to see how it ends.
Are those last 80 chapters of manga actually good and satisfying? Or compressed for a reason? 'cause I still feel I want pay off for my investment in this story.
The manga is way better than Season 2, which is disappointing becuase Season 1 was pretty faithful to the first two arcs. The last half of the manga really pays off all the pain and suffering from the first half and extends those themes, instead of everything just being fine like the anime.

I must have missed that part.
