(you should watch Planetes, it’s really good and incredibly based. there’s actual ecoterrorism women to root for but this scene where Lucie fucking loses it is still really good even if she’s a treat hog)

    Spoilers talk (well vague spoilers)

    I absolutely love Planetes, but it has the same issue as other leftist anime where it pulls back into lib territory for the conclusion. Like I re-watched GITS SAC 2nd GIG recently and after the dude talks about base and superstructure, it concludes by going back to the status quo and all is well.

      yeah I think that’s a reasonable critique, especially with how Claire (my beloved) totally renounces her ways once she’s in prison. I can appreciate though that they have Direct Action Get The Goods. I don’t know if you’ve read the manga but like it’s not as good as the anime but a lot of the story is actually quite different so you should definitely give it a shot (Fee and Yuri do direct action and Locksmith almost gets shot like he fucking deserves)
