well not really...yet
Why does nearly every single anime these days fall into a creepy otaku fan-service hole? They could actually find a much wider audience overseas if they left that shit out, but are instead doubling down on it, making most people embarrassed to even watch it.
Everthing made by Imaishi is fan-service laden.

But his stuff usually falls more into a hyper sexual side, it hardly ever feels creepy. Its just over the top and fun.

It's when it goes in the other direction that it gets creepy. Like Nia.

It WILL be anime of the year most likely. The team behind this has yet to make anything remotely shitty. So you'll have to excuse me if a character showing some skin doesn't manage to quell my hype for it.

Dude there is a diffrence between showing a little skin and that. Plus isn't she high school age so it makes it more weird. I mean I should have known there would be a design like this but I'm still sad. It will still be good but I won't watch it around my bro's.

The only thing creepy about Nia was how anyone on the production team honestly thought her character was a good idea. why nakashima why

Obligatory Dead Leaves post.

Dead Leaves was pretty badass, IMO. It was like a Japanese Super Jail.( or is Super Jail the western Dead Leaves?)

She's not showing any more skin than Yoko who was 14 if i remember correctly. I guess i just like my anime over the top( which Imaishi always delivers on), but i started watching when stuff like Dirty Pair and Project A-ko were new and showing a HS age girl in the nude wasn't that big a deal. Also what's with the Nia hate in this thread? Always see this character get shit on but i never understood what was supposed to be so bad about her. She was far more likable than that fucking asshole Rossiu.

I was into it until I saw this. They just killed it dead.

What does that say?

Have you watched Dead Leaves (not my cup of tea to be honest), Gurren Lagann, Panty and Stocking or Re: Cutie Honey (granted the last isn't an original work but you can see Imiashi's impression all over it, especially in episode 1)? If you've enjoyed any of those works then I'm not seeing how this is outside the bounds of what these people do. I'm pretty confident your bros aren't going to give a shit :p

Nia hate time? I'm down for that.

Nia's the least of Gurren's problems, though she certainly helps push the show to overall mediocre. Terrible character. Terrible second half is the real killer of the show, but Nia is certainly a major problem.

Still, even though I don't like TTGL like most, I'm super pumped for Kill la Kill. That show seems so up my alley. Cannot wait.

His Gundam Unicorn score is awesome. Probably my favorite part of the series. That Unicorn theme is so damn boss. I still love the guy's work, despite some of the downs he may have.

Yeah Unicorn was awesome, as was Ao No Exorcist TV, those are his two best scores by far. Prob is everything after has been getting progressively worst as time goes by.

Basara Movie, AnE OST 2, Guilty Crown, AnE Movie and Attack on Titan are pretty much.

His last two years have been pretty avg and he's living off Unicorn and the first AnE ost. Chances of this living up to Iwasaki's Gurren Lagann score are about the same as Monolith's X's having as good as score as Xenoblade, fuck all.

The new tracks he keeps writing each year for the new Unicorn episode have all been pretty much up to snuff. He's still got it somewhere in him. Personally, to me it seems he's phoning it in on a lot of projects in order to focus on the work he really cares about. I expect, given how high profile KalK is, we may get old Sawano back. Would have said that about AoT, though, too, so who the hell knows? As for X, no way he tops Xenoblade. Right there with ya. Sure it'll be good enough to be workable, though.

So, yeah, long story short I still like the guy even when he's doing meh work. If he starts sucking for 2-4 years, then I'll be on the hate train. He's given me too much I like to really give up right now.

The thing that bugs me most about the costume is that it doesn't look the same on her as it does off her, even though its monster design can fit her form anyways and would look far cooler while still keeping the same sex appeal.

I've only seen Gurren Lagann and it's one of my all time favorites. I liked yoko as a character but always hated her design. I'm a anime fan but I've always hated fan service it just feels wrong. I'm probably going to love this anime and I'm still exited I'm just getting tired of fan service lol.

Seriously wtf @ that costume. Major turn off for me. Will still watch, but yeah, I wanted to be able to recommend this to people :(

if that costume makes you unable to recommend it to people then they probably weren't going to watch this anyways
 
I haven't been keeping up with this but was planning on watching it during autumn season.

Sawano has done a great job with Gundam Unicorn and Shingeki No Kyojin. Why are you all so down on him?

Oh and that costume is atrocious. Why the fuck did this need to happen.

I.. honestly can't say I mind that particular outfit.

It looks like it's going to be part of some sort of super transformation get-up. It could easily animate well. I doubt we'll see her with that on a regular basis.

That costume is so bad :(
Still gonna watch it, but I'm disappointed with that design. Hope you enjoy your cosplay and figures, Imaishi :mad:
 
The more I look at that outfit I start to see what they are possibly attempting. Whether or not it is used effectively in the context of the show, we'll have to see.
 
Not to dredge up a four-month-old jokey side conversation or anything, but Re: Cutie Honey is like the definition of faux-yuri. They're making out as a form of medicine delivery, because it HAS to be done mouth-to-mouth for some silly plot reason I don't remember that's obviously a cover for girls kissing. There's also naked hugging in episode 2...because Honey's an android and that's the only way for her to be healed/recharged or whatever.

Take that as you will.
Welp, should have known that 7th was lying/misleading. I was planning on watching Re: Cutie Honey, but that shit will just piss me off. Won't even show real lesbians in a goddamn exploitation series.

Another one caught in 7th's spell.
 
To the bolded: well, duh.

Re: Cutie Honey is fun and I enjoyed it, but if what you're after is "real lesbians" in exploitation then I don't even know why you're bothering with anime - 70s live action genre film is where you need to be.
It's not something I'm actively seeking out. I gave up on anime a long time ago.

Woah that design is.....The thing is though I kinda like it and I kind of don't. Don't know maybe if the character was older I'd be fine with it but as of now I can't say I'm fond of it. Still watching though if I get the chance.
