    I want to start off with an Anime that is currently airing. This is a high recommendation from me to anyone interested.

    Anime: 86

    86 is an anime that handles a good number of the topics sjws pretend to talk about and handles them well. Racism, propaganda, dehumanization, cowardice, friendship, understanding and choosing to rise above it all.

    This is a mecha anime, but it falls in the tank type mecha rather than the Gundam type mecha.  The animation is solid with great fight scenes and bonding moments between characters. Strikes a strong balance between the two.

    Here is the summary:

    The Republic of San Magnolia has been at war with the Giadian Empire for nine years. Though it initially suffered devastating losses to the Empire’s autonomous mechanized Legions, The Republic has since developed its own autonomous units, called Juggernauts, which are directed remotely by a Handler. While on the surface the public believes the war is being fought between machines, in reality, the Juggernauts are being piloted by humans and all of them are Eighty-Sixers, the designation given to the sub-humans of the 86th Sector who are persecuted and stripped of their rights by the racist-led Alba government.

    Major Vladilena “Lena” Milizé is an Alba noble and military officer in the Republic’s Military who is assigned as a Handler of the Spearhead Squadron of the Eastern Front, an elite unit composed entirely of Eighty-Sixer veterans who have earned names led by their squad leader, Shinei “Undertaker” Nouzen. As Lena gets to know Shinei and the rest of the Spearhead Squadron, she becomes sympathetic to his people’s plight and tries to help them. At same time, Lena and Shinei learn a dark secret: the Republic and the war with the Empire is not what it seems.

    Most of the oldest movies from Studio Ghibli have strong social justice messages, I think. But they did it right, with absolutely stunning stories and characters.

    I would’ve said the Sailor Moon manga does SJW stuff right. Especially the Sailor Venus spin-off.

    Virgin Disney: posts about Pride month but hides LGBTQ+ characters in stories so they can be removed in China showings.

    Chad One Piece: has a queer character that adds to the story and is actually important to the plot without flaunting them on social media.

    Social justice as in standing up for the “little guy”? I can only think of Jin-Roh off the top of my head.

    Any anime that takes any topics of social justice but does it properly, unlike woke Hollywood who uses it to pander. It doesn’t have to have a lot of SJ topics, just a few to prove that it can be done and done right.

    Guess it depends on what one means by “social justice”. It’s a term loaded with some bad stuff, so I’d rather deal with things like justice and injustice.

    Fullmetal Alchemist has the Ishvalens and what happened to them in the war, centering around Scar’s crusade. It’s one of the better aspects of the overall story.

    In the anime, My Hero Academia is still pretty black-and-white, though the Stain arc did complicate things a bit. In the manga, though, questions of justice and injustice have become much more blurry.

    Here are a few others for questions of right and wrong in societies: Library Wars, Twelve Kingdoms, Psycho-Pass.

    Basically, what a I mean is, what topics do you see SJWs screaming about, that animes have tackled and handled them well. Its why I started with the new anime 86 which has themes of racism. Basically I just want people to have a list of shows to draw from that they can throw in the SJWs’ faces and tell them they have no excuse for their shit sucking when those themes can be included in a story and done well.

     

    Current “Social Justice” is the bastardization of the themes and ideals it claims to represent. They have destroyed our franchises trying to push this. They try to hide behind those ideals, trying to pass their work off as great. Examples like these prove otherwise and destroy their excuses.

    Racial issues, discrimination, fascism, tyranny and injustice are staple elements of Japanese anime storytelling.

    From the top of my head… My Hero Academia deals with a lot of discrimination towards people without quirks and even among

    super powered people (your quirk is ugly, my quirk is better than yours, etc)

    Other titles: Ajin, Black Bullet, BNA, Code Geass.
