Revolutionary heroes ranging from John Brown to Kim Il-Sung are isekai’d to a fantasy world that parodies shows like ‘the rising of the shield hero’ to break the chains of slavery in all forms once more and liberate the fantasy workers and the peasants from the yoke of feudal oppression while hunting down so-called “heroes” summoned by the feudal lords who intend to use them as tools to preserve their power and the economic base of their feudalistic slave economy.

Show me Stalin riding a chocobo or some shit leading a calvary charge against slaver caravans!

Show me Marx, Engels, and Lenin working together in the cities inspiring the proto-proletariate to take up arms against the feudal robber-barons and their land-leechs that bleed them dry

Show me Mao, Tito, and bonus character Jan Žižka, on a rural bro-venture with the three in a competitive rivalry to see who can organize the greatest peasant rebellion between the three!

    Yeah, and tons of Western, especially European, animated series were outsourced there.

    I’m assuming outsourcing to the DPRK became cheaper than outsourcing to occupied Korea which Western animated shows also did. AKOM was an animation studio that was infamous for its terrible work on shows like G1 Transformers and Batman: TAS.

      If the DPRK could start flexing their soft-power muscles by drip-feeding their own anime into the poisoned-well that is the contemporary anime market, they may end up counter-balancing If not outright turning the whole generally reactionary medium on its head.

          “Okay, so some of the stuff from North Korea is really communist, but, like, aside from that the storylines are really good, and the animation’s the best I’ve ever seen! I suppose they really are Best Korea when it comes to making good media!”
