I didn't know there is a book. I enjoyed it. It is a good child suitable movie (after a certain age) which shows the dangers of Fascism. It was fun to watch, while of course one could critique a couple of things. It is one of the best animated series/movies of the decade.

spoiler and tropes

1000 year old child
but! representation of different body forms, which is quite good
Anarchist and spray painted aesthetic is co-opted but also shown as a good thing
the 'we just have to tell everyone the truth' liberal trope gets fixed
our evil genius was not that likeable a character, but that is fine, since from the perspective of children adults are often a bit off and take much more time to learn stuff. Also it is fine to become friends with and care for people that aren't that likeable.
it is queer and trans friendly and centers one owns identity as ones own choice that is strongly linked with society and a support net, though.
could it be better? Sure, could it be Marxist/Materialist? Sure. But dealing with resistance to fascism and the oppressor oppressed dynamic and the CW self hurt tendencies is good.
