Welcome to Lemmygrad's corner dedicated to anime memes and discussion! (manga/manhua/manhwa/donghua/aeni count too)
Remember to Read the Rules™:
-
Absolutely no racism, no transphobia, no homophobia, no ableism, no misogyny, none of that!
-
No low-quality images. Images containing text should be legible.

-
Absolutely no NSFW content containing or involving minors will be tolerated.

Guidelines
-
Try to keep it left; memes don't need to be socialist in nature, but it'd be nice if we could keep the discussions that way.
-
Posts do not necessarily need to be about anime memes, they can also be about other things related to anime, or having an 'anime' art style.
-
Try to provide sources for the images you post.
-
There's nothing else for now. We hope you have a great time!

Against the GDR would say, though honestly I think Ostania resembles West Germany more than East if you look into more than asthetics.
The main plot is a spy trying to stop the ascension of a Nationalist from a formerly aristocratic family from ascending to power. The existence of a massive class divide where prestigious families send their children off into private academies. The fucked up biological human expirements reminiscent of the Nazis.
To a lib it's DDR coded, and I suspect that what the authors intention. However similar to figures like Orwell, they've made a more succinct critique of capitalist soceity rather than the socialist one they were trying to disparage.
DDR is frequently portrayed as "nazi but with a new coat of pain" and barely denazified. Basically projecting west germany onto the east. So I think you are right.
