The story centers on a heteronormative connection between Hibiki and Uta. It lacks non-cisnormative gender identities or queer narratives, adhering strictly to traditional romantic tropes.

The film follows standard gendered power dynamics common in action animation. While Uta is central to the mystery, Hibiki drives the physical agency and combat-oriented progression.

Set in a localized Tokyo, the cast is depicted through a homogeneous lens. The narrative lacks intersectional casting or metaphors to explore racial and ethnic diversity.

The postmodern setting depicts a world where traditional institutions have failed. However, this feels like a genre byproduct rather than a deliberate critique of specific ideologies.

Gravitational abnormalities serve as environmental hazards rather than nuanced depictions of disability. There is no evidence of characters with disabilities exercising meaningful agency.
