A contrived argument on nationalistic politics by Japanese refugees in Taiwan, animated by Koreans. The writing is not good. Most of the time you will end up bursting in laughter because every event is contrived and the direction is not generally good enough to convey seriousness when someone gets shot up or dies in a whirlpool. That said, there are very few anime that delve into Taiwanese politics like this movie series does, so I feel compelled to take it at face value. Following a Japan Sinks or Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 take on a post-apocalyptic Japan, we follow the stories of Japanese refugees trying toeke out in an increasingly nationalistic Taiwan. The political thriller moves extremely fast and often jumps from genre to genre within the span of 20 mins, from Japanese trying to become Taiwanese, to terrorists attempting to nation-build, to... Taiwanese gangsters? Probably this is an allegory of refugees and stateless peoples across the world (Palestinians get a jumpscare shoutout here), but the ridiculous plot devices and caricatures that lead up to the in-universe political situation make this... very hard to take seriously. Maybe this was an allegory of Korea's partition by the Soviets and Americans, which would elucidate why so many Koreans agreed to animate genga for this Japanese sob story.

I will shout this series out for one incredibly specific prediction though - it successfully managed to predict a female DPP president named Tsai in the year 2017, which it managed to predict better than the Fukushima earthquake.
