To be fair, you have to have a very high theory quotient to understand Kill la Kill. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical sewing most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Ryuko's quick temper with fools, which is deftly woven into her characterisation- her personal philosophy draws heavily from Deng's own writings, for instance. True communists understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about the forces of production and how many yards of linen are truly needed to make a school uniform. As a consequence people who dislike Kill la Kill truly ARE liberals- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Mako's existential advise “Just rip it off and get naked!" which itself is a cryptic reference to Engels' On Authority. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated libs scratching their heads in confusion as Kazuki Nakashima's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Satsuki tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the momma's eyes only- and even then she has to each time read Das Kapital vols 1 through 3 beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
