lol ya it was! Regardless of the intent they created PS&G with, it ended up being a critique of anime and otaku culture as a whole. Plus the notion it was modeled after southpark or drawn together doesn't exist at odds with the larger themes it posses.

We must've watched completely different shows as the only consistent theme running throughout PSG was just how unabashedly trashy it is. "Death of the Author" can only get you so far before one starts treading into hysteria.

For everyone not at all bothered by her power-up uniform; does it add anything to the show for you, would you be less interested in the show if Ryuko had been more covered up after her transformation?

The outfit's utterly ridiculous and over the top which fits perfectly in the general context of the show thus far.

Just watched the first episode of Gurren Lagann again and it had just as much or more "fanservice". I think people are just getting more sensitive every year. If it bothers you don't watch it.

Also, I don't think Ryuko's outfit adds to or detracts from show. It would be fine with or without the ridiculousness of it, but It's what the creator wanted, so if you are still interested in the show besides that one element, get over it.

 

[Fornaximus]

Bingo.

 

[xanavi]

So from what I gather people who don't mind it at all would not be bothered if the suit were less revealing as long as it's still over the top and ridiculous. That's why I think it's a bummer because like everyone is saying it's not the revealing nature of it that makes it fun, it's just its absurdity. If Imaishi had only made it absurd then no one would be saying "hmm, something is missing" and everyone would be happy. Oh well, creators gunna create.

Someone on my twitter noticed this small detail of a character playing with Marvel figures in the bottom right:

It's not a matter of addition or otherwise for me. I simply find it amusing mainly because Ryuuko and everyone around her realizes how outrageous it looks.

[cntr]

...y'know, I must be blind for not noticing until now that the back of Ryuko's hair becomes red when she powers up.

Let's try that again. Edited the post. If it still doesn't work, I'll find a replacement.

 

[Gbraga]

Amazing wallpapers, saved all of them, thank you!!

It does?

 

[Korosenai]

How long is this show supposed to last for?

 

[duckroll]

How long is this show supposed to last for?

Around 24-26 episodes.

 

[Korosenai]

Around 24-26 episodes.

26 episodes for a season, or 26 episodes then its over?

 

[1upmuffin]

26 episodes for a season, or 26 episodes then its over?

Most likely a one season show.

 

[duckroll]

26 episodes for a season, or 26 episodes then its over?

It'll be over. The staff are all going to move on to work on Little Witch Academia 2.

 

[Venfayth]

I enjoyed the first ep. I like the characters a lot and had fun with how quickly it moved the whole time. Looking forward to more!

 

[/XX/]

Around 24-26 episodes.

Nanami (@nanamibeya), apparently thanks to some private tipster information, said it is 24 episodes exactly (http://d.hatena.ne.jp/nanamibeya/20130926/p1). Many people run with it... don't you trust in that?

That list has already proven to be completely inaccurate for at least 3 shows. I wouldn't put any stock in it.

I see, erroneously trusted on it and didn't double-check. Nanami usually goes great lenghts to confirm things with TV stations... so much for that on this case. :-D

 

[Nyoro SF]

Now I know why this show is giving me good vibes.

Rival Schools!

It feels like a Rival Schools-ish anime!

 

[cntr]

It does?

Just compare the shots that show her from behind.

 

[JDSN]

As someone who didnt enjoy Gurren im really amazed how good it this, those first 20 minutes were mentally exhausting, every scene was just chock full of information, details and just so much movement. Wow/10.

 

[Drencrom]

Everything is great.... except the shitty fanservice and the horrible battle outfit :/

Why does it have to be so sexualised and perverted?

I'm fairly sure someone posted the exact same thing to the letter last week.

 

[Shard]

As suspected, there are freeze frame bonuses abound in this series.

Oh good, you see it.

At first I was looking for a cameo and thought maybe the guy in the bottom right was Brief, but then I saw it.

Hm, what letter?

Pictures...pictures everywhere

You are awesome for this <3

top right guy grabbing the girl's butt ?

Hah, didn't notice that. Between that & the kid playing with a Hulk figure in my earlier post, hoping there'll be more "blink & ya miss it" bonuses.

 

[Shard]

Yes and yes.

 

[jello44]

Yes yes yes!!!!! Let's meet em up up up!!!!

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[pauloshinobi]

Just saw ep. 1

I really liked the overreaction and exagerated spirit of it. But the protagonists uniform was a huge down point for me. Design completely unnecessary, I believe the show doesn't need hentai bait like this to mantain itself.



(btw my first post at GAF, yay! =D)

 

[cntr]

We should be getting the new episode today, right?

 

[Syrinx]

Tomorrow.

Agreed it really hurts the show imo. I don't feel comfortable watching it on my commute.

 

[Peco]

Dezaki would be proud of this anime, I know the director of KLK is a fan, but still, some scenes are pure old school awesomeness.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Ugh, the wait for tomorrow is killing me

 

[7Th]

From episode 2:

I guess the Utena comparisons won't be in vain...

And Alex Ahad from Skullgirls drew cool fanart of Ryuuko.

Ryuko's design is right up Alex Ahad's alley, isn't it?

 

[InfiniteBento]

I haven't watched episode 2 yet but based on episode 1, this series looks great.

My only issue is her transformed outfit. It wasn't necessary to make it so revealing. I was pretty disappointed by it :/

Overall though, I love the animation for the combat scenes and the art style is fantastic.

I can't wait to go home and watch the new episode after work.

Hurry, episode 2 is in a couple of hours.

and.....sigh.....why are people still complaining about a costume that is too racy for them? Its like people forget they are watching anime.

4Chan was right, Mako family is truly a cartoon family!

 

[Dave1988]

Hoo boy, the puritans here sure won't like the OP for KLK XD

 

[Gazoinks]

So here's hoping Aniplex's subs are less clunky this time around, hm? Don't want to have to keep doing comparisons with other subs. >.>
