If It's a Conflict, Leave it to Hatta Is Getting a TV Anime, and Here Is Where Our 261 Free Politics Episodes Come From

Motohiro Den's manga Funsō Deshitara Hatta made, whose English title is If It's a Conflict, Leave it to Hatta, is being adapted as a television anime. Kodansha's Morning magazine announced it on Monday, as Anime News Network reported. Its central figure, Yuri Hatta, advises clients on geopolitical risk, and her work takes her to countries around the world. Den began the series in November 2019 in Morning and its D Morning app, and Kodansha releases the 20th collected volume on 18 September. The anime is not in our index yet.

The announcement is a fair prompt to look at our politics shelf. Our index tags 498 entries with politics, and each tag carries a relevance score out of 100. Only 32 of the 498 state a free episode count. Together they state 261 episodes, and 19 of the 32 state exactly one.

Where the free politics episodes sit

Two television series account for 104 of the 261. Lady Oscar: The Rose of Versailles, first aired in 1979, states 40 free and has a politics score of 90. God Mars, first aired in 1981, states 64 free, but its politics score is only 20. Seven Gundam entries account for 58. Six web series whose episode pages play uploads from channels run by Bilibili, iQIYI and Yuewen account for 76. The other 17 entries share 23 episodes, and 14 of them state exactly one.

Of the 118 entries scored 80 or higher for politics, 11 state a count, 78 episodes in all, and Lady Oscar supplies 40 of those 78. These well-known titles in that group, shown with year and score, state no free episode:

• Legend of the Galactic Heroes, the 1988 original video series, 98
• How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom, 2021, 97
• Kingdom Season 2, 2013, 95
• Maoyu: Archenemy & Hero, 2013, 94
• Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, 2006, 92
• The Heroic Legend of Arslan, 2015, 88
• The Apothecary Diaries, 2023, 84

A stated count is not always a reachable run

Release that Witch states 3 free episodes. Its three uploads are each limited to one country, Japan, and each returned as unplayable to a United States request today. How Dare You!? states 24. Its episode 1 upload played for a United States request today. Episode 24 did not, and its country list leaves the United States out.

Two with an English subtitle track

Isekai Office Worker: The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter is a 2026 television series of 12 episodes with a politics score of 84. Episodes 1, 2 and 3 are free, three of the twelve. Their episode pages play whole-episode uploads from the Crunchyroll channel, which carries a YouTube verified badge, with Japanese audio and an English subtitle track, and the uploads' country list includes the United States.

Since I Wasn't the Heroine is a web series of 16 episodes, and the whole series is free. Its politics score is only 20, so by our own measure politics is a light element here. All 16 episode pages play whole-episode uploads from Anime Made By Bilibili, a channel with a YouTube verified badge. Each has an English subtitle track, and the uploads' country list also includes the United States.
