Leans Left
Primary
The film's central conflict resolution consistently champions empathy, understanding, and non-violent integration of powerful, feared beings over militaristic destruction, aligning its dominant themes with progressive values.
The anime 'Date a Live' features casting typical of Japanese animation, without explicit race or gender swaps of roles that would be considered traditionally white. Its narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of its male protagonist and traditional identities, without strong or explicit DEI critiques central to the story.
Secondary
The anime features female Spirits who engage in close-quarters physical combat using their supernatural abilities and manifested weapons. These characters are shown to be victorious against male opponents, such as members of the Anti-Spirit Team or DEM wizards, through enhanced strength and melee weapon skills.
The anime adaptation of "Date a Live" faithfully portrays the genders of its established characters from the light novel series. There are no instances where a character canonically established as one gender is depicted as a different gender in the show.
