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.

Pretty sure that got paid off in the 1940s. Haiti wasted a lot of money on repayments however, and add to that regular consequences imperialism and some natural disasters and you got one of the poorest countries in the world as a result.

That's a slip-up on my part. I'll read up more on the topic so I can speak on it better in the future. Thanks for taking the time to let me know!
