Mine’s Food Wars
Kill La Kill is Pervy and weird… But dang is it fun as hell and just hilarious.
It smashes the fanservice button so hard it manages to loop back around into non-cringiness just from sheer charisma.
KLK uses it in a pretty good way though, it’s obviously not supposed to make you horny, instead it’s supposed to make you uncomfortable. It’s used as a tool to make the audience feel the way the character feels.
Also it’s a mecha anime.
Nah it’s supposed to make you horny. If you know the people behind it and their more niche works and interviews they are huge hornballs and for sure out a lot of it in for fan service and not “subversive deconstruction”. Kill LA Kill has good themes and yeah the horniness is so much that it doesn’t register but for sure it’s " Not supposed to make you uneasy" most of the time . It’s just because the people making it like booba, fun service and they are otakus
At the precise moments where it is uncomfortable it is absolutely supposed to do that and is demonstrably uncomfortable for the characters as well. Trigger take not just the characters in the story on an arc of acceptance and comfort with their circumstances but the audience goes on that arc emotionally as well, with later moments designed to be comfortable by comparison to earlier ones. This is quite intentional on their part and is quite obvious when comparing it to their other work where it’s just fanservice with no intent to be anything other than fanservice and no directorial choices intended to evoke certain emotions.
You are absolutely not supposed to be comfortable about many things for the first half of the show. Ryuko’s non-consent to Senketsu who literaly forces himself on the protagonist who absolutely does not want to be in any of the circumstances she’s in is pretty much the primary component of the first half of the show.
I was fully on board with Ryuko’s anti-Satsuski coup and her anger at the system. It’s super cathartic.
That is, until...
she sides with her sister’s fashy ass “for the greater good.” And then the last episode ends with a super lib consumerist message. God damn reactionaries are rooted in everything that exists.
:yea: I like looking at cartoon food
Nooooo it’s the food I swears, look it’s so pretty :kitty-cri-screm:
Food wars rocks. Now my wife and I judge the quality of food on a making me cum to not making me cum sliding scale. I wish the show wouldn’t just throw away characters after their arc though, feels like there’s never any satisfying conclusion to the storyline for any of the side characters
I’ll give you one clue in the form of a question:
HOW CAN I HELP YOU, KING DEDEDE?
spoiler
but actually it’s Digimon
