    I don’t think you can find something explicitly communist in popular japanese media tbh, at best you will get something anti-imperialist like Code Geass or the Stormblood expansion for FFXIV, or something class conscious like Kaiji

        FOR REAL why is there not like the explicitly socialist Chinese/Vietnamese equivalent of JJBA/Death Note/FLCL/DBZ/Attack on Titan/One Piece/Sailor Moon/Fullmetal Alchemist/Breaking Bad that we’re all obsessed with and begging for subs/dubs, waiting weekly for new episodes?

        The closest I can think of is three body problem (and I’m not even sure either version should count).

        I can understand waiting until 202X for this to happen, I just think we’re behind schedule.
