Hiyama Kentarô no ninshin (2022)
surprisingly good
I can bet you that the majority of the 1 star reviews are people who only read the "social inequities" in the blurb and immediately went into a blind rage, because feminism = bad.
When I saw the trailer I thought the idea was absurdly funny at first, but as I began watching it I was pleasantly surprised by the progressive commentary on gender roles in society and how when we say we have progressed as a society, they highlighted how much bigotry there still is in casual conversation and in private.
One thing I really liked about the main character is he was already a relatively open-minded guy from the start, he didn't have to "learn to respect women" by being pregnant, he already was a pretty alright guy and that was refreshing to see. He didn't have to go walk in women's shoes to start to understand the societal problems women face and I thought that was neat.
It's a shame this got so hate-bombed by people who (most of them even admit) haven't watched it. I started watching it because I wanted to see where they'd take the topic and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. The commentary can be very on-the-nose at times but i found it to be surprisingly interesting to see, especially coming from a country where same-sex marriage isn't legal yet!
