Progressive
Primary
The film explicitly promotes progressive ideology by centering its conflict on the systemic persecution of a marginalized group by an authoritarian government, championing empathy and rebellion against injustice as the solution to both social and existential crises.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast of characters in terms of design and roles. Its narrative strongly critiques systemic oppression and prejudice against a marginalized group, with the central conflict highlighting themes of discrimination and the fight for acceptance.
Secondary
Promare features a central, deeply intimate, and co-dependent relationship between its two male protagonists, Galo and Lio. This bond, widely interpreted as romantic by audiences and creators, is depicted with dignity and agency, serving as the emotional core and driving force for saving the world. The narrative affirms the worth of their connection.
The film features Aina Ardebit as a prominent female character in action sequences. However, her combat contributions are primarily as a mecha pilot, utilizing technological superiority and ranged attacks. There are no scenes depicting a female character defeating one or more male opponents in direct physical combat through skill, strength, or martial arts.
Promare is an original film with characters created specifically for this production. There is no prior source material (e.g., comics, novels, historical figures) from which characters were adapted and had their gender changed.
Promare is an original anime film, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a historical depiction. All characters were created for this specific film, meaning there are no prior canonical or historical racial portrayals to compare against.
