Sometimes people say it's a leftist anime but I think it's way too stupid all of the time to have any real ideology to it and it's better not to seriously think about the politics of it because it will rot your brain quickly. However, it was very fun and I liked it. Suzaku is a cop.

Yeah pretty much.

For the longest time I've written off Okouchi as a hack writer who got lucky with his first big break but after Witch from Mercury made me reevaluate his work it seems clear to me that he was someone who really wanted to talk about politics without knowing how to. Code Geass is a mess, and the less we say about Guilty Crown and Valverave the better.

It seems like he only figured how to tie all his disparate narrative threads and themes together in Princess Principal, and we're seeing his work pay off in Gundam, but even then maybe his progressivism is of the liberal variety rather than actually leftist.
