The main character, a victim of an elf genocide goes around for about a third of the narrative bonking demons on the head, demons that happen to be one of fiction's most obvious allegories for 'uncaring genocidal aristocrats' (all of them German coded)

In a particularly tiresome extension of the culture war, both online fascists and some overreactive online leftists simultaneously hallucinated said demons of the setting to instead be an allegory for marginalized people, hence one of anime's lamest discourses was born

Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
