I love anime, but I hate how reactionary or brain dead some of the politics can be at times. I've compiled this list of anime I've seen or plan to see which have left sympathetic or revolutionary themes.

    Thats one that I haven't seen yet, I was a bit turned off by the art style initially so its good to hear that its worth it.

      It definitely takes a little getting into (and they'll literally spend several episodes on one game, haha), but if you stick with it it can really draw you in. Just my own personal experience, but worked well as a "binge" anime, since the second half of both seasons really speed by.
