Looked at the volume raws.
Not much seems to happen, it feels wasted like Human Ranch.

G for Gladiator? My theory is that this is going to be Spartacus but in anime form.

I am genuinely curious on how stuff like this continues to be produced. Anyways, hot garbage. If you enjoy mindless gore or dehumanization of your fellow man, indulge in it. Otherwise, there's better gorebait out there.

Eh this isn't the best but if it pulled a last minute "higher level Stanford prison experiment" twist I'd be intrigued. These usually don't have great writing though

Author comes up with insanely contrived setting where people are arbitrarily decided to be "human" or "livestock" based on some unexplained test. It reeks of "it is, because I said so." I imagine he had this vision of a dystopian society in mind, but had zero method of justifying its existence nor could he be assed to even try to.

In short: dogshit.

It has been heavily implied that the "test" is basically big brother watching you grow up to see if you are a compliant, little citizen who keeps dancing to the dystopian tune or a criminal wrongthinker. Also he justified the setting with a lot less taxes and slavery (it gets shit done). You would've noticed this, if your moral compass wasn't so offended and clouded your judgement.

Interesting one gonna keep track of it, also for those complaining it's fucking FICTION so stop complaining about human rights this and human rights that, if you don't like it it's just not for you.
It's explained that the government is monitoring it's people and "molding" them as they want, like a dictatorship, the higher ups decides who they want to give "human rights" and who not.

I like this one. It has some more general exposition to do, but you can understand the premise well enough. If you're familiar with any of George Orwell's salient works (Animal Farm, 1984), it's not hard to grasp what's going on.

In retrospect, George Orwell's support of "democratic socialism" seems counter to his anti-totalitarian stance, but he lived through the rise of fascism in academia and the obvious places in Europe, while at the same time, the Soviets and their doctrine weren't as well known by most Westerners. Mao, for example, had just barely begun his "great leap forward" when Orwell passed. George was also an "anti-Stalinist", something obvious in Animal Farm. Leninists, Trotskyites and so forth.

It's all confusing to a guy like me who paints all totalitarianism with the same brush. After all, what do I care if my torturer and murderer is a fascist, a socialist, or a Buddhist, an artist, or anything else? A strong people, armed to the fucking teeth with effective modern weaponry, and indomitable in spirit, well organized, with proper values - those peoples will never suffer tyranny. If I had to choose between being a victim of a massacre vs. engaging in war, I'll choose war every single time. Not sure how Orwell might have thought on the subject, but I imagine he'd have some sympathy for that mindset, even if he'd be a fan of weapons-control laws or some such.

A wonderful rebuttal to the strawman you constructed. Same to the 2nd guy. Back in the real world, my post makes ZERO mention of pearl-clutching morals affecting my judgement of the manga. Try reading comprehension again you illiterate bums.

To clarify to the circus again, the writing is shallow. Just because it weakly tries to explore similar themes to 1984 doesn't mean it's anywhere near as compelling. It's derivative and unexceptional.
