    Yeah, It's an awesome show, but I don't like those porny transformation costumes. It's weird. The rest of the Trigger stuff is nowhere that horny and they don't even look good. Maybe I'm just old. Some people even believe they're so tasteless on purpose to serve as commentary on objectification or something, which I don't really buy.

      There's definitely a social commentary wrt fashion and how it influences human behavior. That's the whole premise of the show.

      There's also very explicit gratuitous fan service obviously intended to titillate a predominantly male audience, and characters who exist to make meta-commentary on that titillation.

      There's also a theme of "working within the system to undermine it" which runs throughout the show.

      I don't think the question is "Was this tasteless on purpose?" but "Was the purposeful tastelessness a benefit to the show?"

      Other than Little Witch Akademia the rest of Trigger/Gainax stuff do look similarly good and do Be Horny as shit
