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!
Do you have sources for this? Very interesting! And specifically, wdym with catholic shows?
Due to US sanctions against the DPRK, most American/Japanese stuff that SEK Studios worked on was uncredited saved for some animators names. But you can easily find them on the credits of European shows. I think CNN recently reported on how Italian TV stations and studios didn't care about the sanctions and paid fines so they could continue working with SEK Studios.
Marcelino Pan y Vino (or just Marcelino in Japan) is a catholic animated show made produced by Italy, France, Spain and Japan, though most of the animation was outsourced to Japan and the DPRK (due to sanctions they had to remove the SEK Studios credits from the english version, but you can find them on the Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese versions). You can easily find most episodes on youtube, and most of them have SEK Studios credited with the animation, specially from season 2 on.
CNN: Documents found on a North Korean server suggest US studios may have unknowingly outsourced animation work
CNN: Italian animation company agrees to $538,000 penalty for ‘apparent violations’ of US sanctions on North Korea
finally some cool italians. it's been a while.
The graphic memoir Pyonyang: A Journey in North Korea by the Canadian Guy DeLisle details the author visiting a studio working on a French-produced cartoon. Fair warning: I read it as a liberal teenager and even then I clocked that it was racist and insane. Like just this white moron wandering around on guided tours, seemingly unaware of the history of the country he was visiting going "everyone here is a brainwashed automaton. everything is so oppressive. if only i could liberate these poor mindless drones from their shackles."
