IS WE LIVE? IS WE LIVE? IS WE LIVE? On this episode of TRP, we’re joined by Saintkupid to dive into the world of anime and the characters, stories and ideas that keep us coming back. We discuss why Naruto’s character has been so misrepresented by the general public, unpack the politics of the Hidden Leaf Village, and explore how the worlds around our favourite characters shape the way we understand them. We also ask why Eren Yeager remains such an appealing character to audiences despite the Rumbling. From character writing and morality to politics, ideology and the wider cultural impact of anime, we get into what makes these stories so compelling — and why certain characters continue to resonate with us long after the credits roll.
