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?"
These are all points I think in my head about kill la kill but couldn't type out so well. Thank you
Other than Little Witch Akademia the rest of Trigger/Gainax stuff do look similarly good and do Be Horny as shit
There's some cooking show anime that my friends watch and I decided to check it out and that's exactly what it was. I was thinking ok a cooking show anime how bad could it get.
:shocked-pikachu:
In all fairness, the men have orgasm reaction shots to pasta too.
That show is just all kinds of horny.
I watched like an episode an took it for an over the top subversion of the genre but I couldn't really go any further with the show lol
Me, a fool: Oh hey Made in Abyss seems like a cute fantasy show
Or just sexualization of anime in GENERAL.
Even if the sexualization can be "equal opportunity" sometimes. It seems to sexualize "pretty boy" characters a lot too. I'm not talking about Astolfo or any meme characters, but even characters like Light Yagami, Natsu Dagneel, or arguably Shinji Ikari sometimes, so even when men get sexualized in anime, it's more often the more feminine men. As my dad puts it, "it's like this androgynous pea-dough- filly -ah. So male characters are oogled at for any prepubescent features"
Unfortunately, my dad saw a few scenes of Evangelion and soul eater when I watched them as a teenager. Today, we kind of laugh about how sexualized anime is and we've always been on good terms.
I just cringe when I think that my dad might think I'm one of these Twitter idiots that defends oversexualized anime like this
Ok, someone recommend a good anime for sophisticated adults such as myself. Haven't watched a new show since Psycho Mob ended...
For recent seasonals try Odd Taxi. Its really really good. Unless you want some specific genre there are way too many good thinsg too start listing
If you're looking for a good shonen I recommend Jujutsu Kaisen. Very good fights, very good characters and also no ridiculous fan service characters. Also some good horror elements and social commentary.
I will always find it funny how religious conservatives were very defensive about anime like this.
What happened to "the party of decency?'
I remember I was drinking with some friends a few years ago and decided to try to make a game of a random series on Netflix.
We found Strike Witches and after laughing at how fucked up it was, we felt it was too gross and watched Labyrinth instead.
Why’s anime gotta be this way???
Because you picked a random seasonal with huge tits on the cover ?
I mean it doesnt have to be an echii show in order to have random fanservice momments and for you to expect that it has. When you are a random seasonal action show with a teen cast and your character designs for some females are big tiddy and you use them at the cover as well then yeah most likely you are gona have fanservice and weird shots in the show
Do it be like that tho ? Its relatively easy to guess if an anime will probably have underage sexualization and fanservice based on cover art , a trailer and reading the description/genre. Its rarely a huge surprise or totally unexpected when it happens for a specific show
Also just watch more movies ,classics, anime with adult casts and of particular genres you enjoy in other media instead of picking up totally random seasonals hoping to strike gold. There are hundreds of anime without underage sexualization and with high quality animation, directing and storytelling .Its not that hard to find a few
I remember the period in between watching the first and second episodes of Dragon Maid, thinking that I was about to watch a funny SOL about a couple lesbians (or at least one bi and one questioning) starting a family. Then you get introduced to the rest of the cast.
Then you get introduced to the rest of the cast.
:yea: after the second episode it went from like a solid 7/10 to a 1/10 for me
I'm the unironic "I fucking hate anime" guy and I hate myself for enjoying dumbass shit like fire emblem because even that has garbage softcore pornography in it fucking christ volcel police were right
