the tokugawa economy exploded upwards the moment the daimyo stopped trying to all mass murder one another and trade goods could flow from one end of the realm to the other also, this show is plenty angry enough at the samurai (gently caress em)

Is there a term for this? De-colonial? No, that's not the right word. There's a strong message in this show, how we should not lionize the heroes of the Sengoku era, how they were nothing but blood and misery, how the bushi were nothing more than brutes and warlords, but I don't know how best to describe this anime.

Terrible Opinions posted:This right here is something I have to fundamentally disagree with. The story presented here is that making the quite explicit argument that any progress or prosperity that requires someone's exploitation does not have the right to exist and should be torn down. The supernatural story about a land being built by demons breaking a child's body is the same as how feudalism built a country by breaking the bodies of the peasants. Hence all of the peasants we run into who have literally broken bodies. This series is positing that any destruction caused by revolution or rebellion by the oppressed is fully justified because what is being destroyed has no reason to exist. Pretty much my reading as well, considering the demons didn't just take a one-off payment in exchange for boons of prosperity, but constantly tax the peasants for blood and meat.
