I enjoyed it. It definitely simplifies things, but it’s very fun to see Marx and Engels’ friendship over the years as a backdrop to the development of their theories. There are some cool and genuinely touching moments, as well.

yes you should watch it

Oh shit, I had no idea. I’ll check it out.

I’m going to be the negative one here and say that the amount of it I’ve watched is hagiographical to the point of being ridiculous and attributes to Marx a very silly cookie cutter anime boy personality. Also, it seems like they’ve used almost all the scenes they animated on this trailer and the rest is clunky-looking CGI.
