halfway through akudama drive and there's a lot of interesting world-building going on. <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/Tharizdun03/status/1901600331898798192" color="blue">x.com/Tharizdun03/st…</a>
kanto is now exposed as not a utopia but a dystopia with child trafficking, social control, and eugenics undertones. the shinkansen, presented as holy and off-limits, is actually used secretly—its elaborate barriers and decontamination zones being tools to eliminate infiltrators.
executioners, the fascist enforcers of kansai, are revealed to be manipulated emotionally—paired up in “teams” to keep them from dying too quickly, yet stripped of individual identities (on their gravestones are numbers, not names)
authority in this world feeds on lies, weaponizes emotion, and turns everyone—citizens, criminals, enforcers—into tools for a system that only benefits the unseen elite in kanto.
the executioner institution is punitive, dehumanizing, and corporate—the inverse of the chaotic but egalitarian akudama group. and their death sentences are issued not for murder but for theft—specifically, for “stealing from the shinkansen,” as in; rescuing trafficked children.
and this critique of fascism, state propaganda, and the commodification of human life is all conveyed quickly but effectively in a show that is still mostly relentless action.
i don't think it's necessarily doing anything particularly noteworthy or novel with it compared to other shows, but i always appreciate anti-authoritarian themes and here it leads to an interesting setting.
