interspecies reviewers is about diversity and progressive especially sex positivity
| I would actually make this argument unironically as the show uses its absurd premise in clever ways to add in some social commentary. I like how the show has an episode actively talking about how important communication is in relationships which is a rarity for shows Western or Eastern to do. |

| One Piece has some pretty progressive undertones to its writing and narrative themes. While some early attempts at representation can be a bit iffy by today's standards, there's an overall theme of accepting others even if they are different to who you are. The series is pretty well liked in some LGBT spaces for some positive queer characters. Bentham/Bon Kurei is a bigender character in the Japanese version of the manga and is a very well written character even if his appearance does play into some stereotypes. Ivankov is a genderfluid character who can change their physical appearance to both a male and female form by changing the hormones in their body, and they can change other people's hormones too and is shown to do that to willing people to help them transition, or in combat as a fun ability as there are so many things that are affected by one's hormones. Kiku is an a trans woman introduced rather recently in the run of the series who is actively respected for her gender identity by the characters in the story. There is another character who is implied to be trans and has their identity respected, but I wont talk about them because some nasty people get really upset when you talk about them and get actively transphobic. Another part of One Piece that is progressive is the way in which the characters actively fight back against oppression. The World Government in One Piece is actively totalitarian and militaristic, with many people in positions of power using it to hurt others. A lot of the characters who are portrayed to the audience as heroic actively do things that go against the World Government and show a rebellious spirit in the face of oppression. A lot of the pirates are essentially anarchists and the Straw Hats use this rebellious spirit of freedom and adventure to actively help out people in need along their journey. They have even been shown to be against slavery which is practiced by some of the elites in the world of One Piece Shaman King is also a pretty diverse franchise, but I would say it does have some flaws with its representation. Joco is probably the biggest example as in the original printing of the manga and in the 2001 anime, he is portrayed with big lips as a black character, which has an unfortunate comparison to racist depictions of black people. Later adaptations of the series and sequels drawn by the original author remove the lips to get rid of those connotations. Shaman King has a lot of representation of different cultures and religions through the shamans and spirits being from different cultures. HoroHoro is an Ainu character which is an indigenous tribe located in Hokkaido who have historically struggled with discrimination in Japan. He is a member of the show's main cast after he first fights Yoh and ends up becoming a pretty reliable ally. The Patch Tribe are a fictional Native American tribe that appear throughout the series and officiate the tournament to determine the Shaman King. There are entrants to the tournament from all over the world with characters from countries like Mexico and Germany making an appearance, as well as areas like the Middle East having combatants too. There are also references to various elements of classic literature, religions, and myth all over the series from all the countries that are involved. There are some stereotypes but it generally isn't handled in a negative way and it can be pretty fun to see characters from cultures you do not often see represented in Japanese anime |

| There are two definitions of progressive here, that usually (Though not always) tend to overlap: The first has to do with something being "avant-garde" in talking about or showing things that are usually "hidden under the rug" or that people" usually don't talk about, sensitive topics. The second pertains to an anime being socially progressive. For instance, should Oshiete Galko-chan be classified as progressive for it's positive representation of different body-types, anti-stereotype themes and putting girls talking about stuff you usually wouldn't expect girls to talk to in anime? Should Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete be considered progressive for it's sex-positive nature and neurodivergent coded main-characters? Should Mushoku Tensei Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu be considered progressive since it's author is pretty open about it dealing with sexuality in a way that doesn't treat it as "sinful" nor "spectacularized"? Should Made in Abyss be classified as progressive for it's naturalist presentation of it's world that go against prudish western sensibilities? I can also see Vueko as a character that both SA victims and sapphics could relate to. Which brings us a very interesting question: Is "progressive anime" and "anime that progressives like" the same thing? Leaving philosophy aside and going for the most "common sense" definition of progressive, my picks would be: Hisone to Maso-tan (Deals with the struggles of women in male-dominated spaces, and is quite explicit at that. I think it would also check the "diverse cast" box.) Shinsekai yori (I don't think I need to explain this one) Hakumei to Mikochi (No actual explanation in this one, it just has 'the vibes') Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo (Deals with the contradictory nature of prudish moralism) Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na (Diverse) Wonder Egg Priority (Queer-positive, explicit gay and trans characters) Koukyoushihen Eureka Seven (Counter-cultural aesthetics) Kidou Senshi Gundam Tekketsu no Orphans (Diverse) Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku (Possibly the first instance of a male mahou-shoujo being taken seriously, explicitly gay couple) Nomad: Megalo Box 2 (Deals with immigrants/refugees. Possibly in the most heavy-handed way possible, but hey, at least it does.) Kusuriya no Hitorigoto (Just watch this video) Mahoutsukai Tai (Vibes + explicitly gay character) Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijou (Gay gay homosexual gay) Magi Sinbad no Bouken TV (Deals with the subject on how different societies have different cultures, like one society were the gender roles are reversed) I could also mention Appare-Ranman and Hoshiai no Sora, but I think they kinda suck, lol. Also, I personally view the defense of incest as progressive, in which case I would add anime such as Selector Infected WIXOSS and would give extra points for WataOshi for letting it be quite explicit that homosexual and incestuous relationships are of the same nature, but people don't tend to agree with em on that one. |
Dungeon Meshi, from the stuff I watched recently. The main cast is very diverse, but I just enjoy how they play off of each other and work together, even when they get annoyed with each other all the time. Every day they have to deal with the different sets of strengths and weaknesses of different races; some have a keener sense of hearing, others are more resistant to mind control, and others flip a switch when the fighting starts and refuse to listen to anyone. They have to overcome or accommodate differences in customs and values. Sometimes they have deep-seated distrust or hatred of other races, but often with good (or at least interesting) reason. Even ignoring the relationships between races, their race and culture gives the characters distinct and interesting background and worldview. Senshi comes from a completely different world from Marcille. The very setting of a dungeon brings all kinds of people from around the world. There are some political shenanigans going on in the background, with different interest groups (often grouped by race) pursuing their own goals, often at the expense of other groups. Even though it's always there, I like that the show doesn't really make that big a deal out of race relationships. It's just a way of life, and like it or not, they have to party up with whomever they can to survive and make a living. |

No, this isn't my signature. |
| https://myanimelist.net/anime/5220/Shangri-La?q=shangri-la&cat=anime This one from 2009 is very "progressive" for its time. It has a trans character that isn't treated like a comedic relief. Edit: actually it has two. I didn't know the fat guy was a trans woman lmfao. |

| @JaniSIr Am I supposed to know what this refers to? |
| Yeah, FMA: Brotherhood is always a good one to look at for being progressive. Clear anti-genocide and anti-war messages. People from different races and ethnicities teaming up to fight a fascist government, the show's literal commodification of people as more or less a metaphor for greed & money, etc. Pretty much any show where people are fighting totalitarian regimes or oppression is almost certainly going to possess some progressive-y viewpoints, and even shows where there are merely challenges to the status quo could easily have some. Shows where compassion, cooperation, empathy, or being oneself are emphasized or valued are other anime that are probably going to have some progressive messaging hiding in them somewhere. With that in mind I'd say Code Geass, Zombieland Saga, Gurren Lagann, Fate/Stay Night, The Promised Neverland, and Wonder Egg Priority are a few progressive-leaning shows. A lot of these are pretty surface level, but in this day and age that's all they'd probably need to be considered progressive: Black Lagoon has a black character and killing of neo-nazis Gundam: Witch From Mercury has the lesbos. Ghost Stories, cuz, ya know |

Sort of the whole plot is how their dystopian society tries to maintain order, including the state legally killing kids until they are 17, various forms of mind control and memory manipulation, and genetically programming kids to resolve conflicts in a sexual way like bonobos, instead of open conflict. |

| @JaniSIr Oh, I thought you were referring to some IRL country. I maintain my point, lol, it's not like they ever portray that as a positive thing. If something, it is especially progressive because Saki is the one pointing out the systemic problems in that society, including the treatment of the rat-people. |
Many shows by these directors, each of whom broke taboos and the rules and by this contributed to diversity and dissenting views in the post-war, very conservative Japanese society. Here are the leading lefties of the anime industry ...
Honorable mentions to Cardcaptor Sakura (1998) which establishes the equality of all sexual orientations. It goes a little bit too far with age difference at times. Also to the no-nonsense, dignified depiction of challenging sexuality such as age-gap incest (Koi Kaze (2004)) or trans-sexuality (Hourou Musuko (2011)). |

| Most Gundam entries, are pretty diverse cast wise, while having a typical we need to hate authoritarianism, hate war profiteering, and save the earth from environmental decay messaging. Tomino also did try to have female characters be more prominent in his stories, though TBF, that had mixed results and could go completely in the opposite direction of "progressive". @LSSJ_Gaming I would actually make this argument unironically as the show uses its absurd premise in clever ways to add in some social commentary. I like how the show has an episode actively talking about how important communication is in relationships which is a rarity for shows Western or Eastern to do. Outside of how they treat bird girl, yeah it's pretty good on that. Kinda unfortunate too, because it avoids most of the trappings that I hate in ecchi anime, outside of like that one. At least it's just a few jokes, at the beginning of a few of the episodes. @Nurguburu Huh. Since when having LGBT+ characters is synonym of being progressive? a sexual orientation existence isn't progressive per se, same with race and sex. Do you people know LGBT+ conservatives, black conservatives and women conservatives exist? As someone who is LGBTQ, who also can have quite a few positions that lean right (mostly just on foreign policy/immigration), you would have to pretend that LGBTQ rights were not largely won by left wing parties in the West. To this day, in places like the USA most right wing groups, would like to push back LGBTQ rights, if they could get away with it, and even where they aren't actively doing this it's more like grudging acceptance or a have your rights however, don't be public about it, unlike hetro couples. LGBTQ rights are a largely progressive/left wing position, in most countries. You would have to identify a case where a largely conservative group pushed for those rights, because I can't think of any. FMAB which OP somehow claim is "progressive" is actually one of the most obvious examples of a conservative Anime: strong military, strong Leader and nationalism being the most obvious aspects. People here are confusing being diverse and progressive, they are not the same thing. Anime IS diverse and predominantly conservative. The rest is apolitical in nature. Did you miss the messaging of FMAB? The whole point is Amestris was an evil state, founded on military conquest, blood and imperialism. Now if the West, wrote FMAB, they probably would have Amestris at least dissolved as a state, to fit the progressive nature. It's being written in Japan, so it has this we will reform vibe, similar to what Japan has tried to do. Still I don't think Arakawa would be loved by Japanese conservatives because the Ishvalans, have cloth that is very Ainu in nature. So, once again using the more typical Nazi Germany framing, you have another Japanese artist subtly criticizing their own history. Secondly, hardly lol. I would argue conservative anime are way more in the minority, though they do exist like Irregular at a Magic HS. Also while apolitical fiction can exist, and does exist in anime it is very rare. A lot of really big shows in the medium do have some political messaging for the consumer. They just don't lay it on thick. |

| For it's time period, "Cutie Honey" was an extremely progressive and diverse Anime which challenged gender identity, sexual agency, and female empowerment the way no other animated series ever has before and this was released in the early 70s. Though by today's standards it's seen as more reflective than progressive due to it's heavy sexualization of the protagonist. Still "Cutie Honey" was seen as groundbreaking in it's treatment of gender and identity even up till the 90s. It's also the precursor to Anime later released in the 90s that promoted overt feminism with progressive themes such as "Sailor Moon" and "Revolutionary Girl Utena". Where the growing exposure of Anime in the West in the 90s eventually helped spawn continuations and Alternative Versions of the "Cutie Honey" franchise. Most notably my personal favorite "Shin Cutie Honey" OVA from 1994. |

Of course, I'm referring to progressive in a western sense which I personally define as "minorities of all kind triumphing over the majority". Some can be revolutionary and bloody but most are just in theme of "I can do whatever I want man". I'm leaning to the idea that the shows I mentioned were not made with western progressivism in mind and only happened to turn out as such. |

I'm not going to be one of those people that are going to throw a temper tantrum about most anime having primarily Japanese people in the story but I really liked the way Araki incorporated diversity into the show. |
