I got worried when I found out the French Revolution features heavily in it as opposed to just being in background like the original game, given how used I am to the typical “this is Literally Animal Farm” shitlib plotline is (Hello Bioshock Infinite). I’d rather watch my nostalgia-bait anime vampire slop without rolling my eyes every five minutes.

Not to say I don’t have other concerns about the quality of the show (nothing to do with Gamers™️ seething about the POC characters in it).

The never have the good guys critique the French or Haitian revolution.

Also the studio is the first animation studio in the USA outside of Cali or NY to unionize.

I told my partner that France is still collecting reparations from Haiti. It's shitty that they didn't go far enough in having the characters give an opinion on real-world events, but I'm glad I had a conversation opportunity like that.

Yeah there definitely is more politics that could be added. However, animation is very expensive and they can only do so much with so little time.

Very true. I've never seen this kinda stuff in popular animation like this, so I'm glad we're getting what we got and pushing for more. And how to do it better in the future.

Unfortunately all the suits hate animation and treat it like shit never funding it then canceling it. And unfortunately animation is too expensive to crowdfund so yeah shitty situation.
