The first season of the #EightySix anime does this, but the book grinds the point in. Behind the anime aesthetic, the sci fi elements, and the cute imagery the story is not only deathly serious, but deathly serious to a purpose. The war, the racism, the genocide is all done with a real world analog and the book wants you to understand what it is doing.
The book repeatedly references All Quiet on the Western Front and it isn't just for show. This is an anti-war novel, underscored in triplicate.
