I don't see why KLK's fanservice is so "bothersome", it's all clearly tongue-in-cheek and not meant to be serious at all.
It's not like SAO where it's trying to have a serious scene then ASS RIGHT THERE IN THE SHOT!

Honestly it depends on what the fan service is and why it's there, it doesn't bother me much in KLK because outside of the first few episodes they really don't draw attention to it and it's you slowly kind of forget the characters are in skimpy outfits for the most part. I can see why it's bothersome in something like SAO however where often you'll have serious scenes where the shot for no reason focuses on a character's ass or bust for no reason.

I think it's all in fun and whatever but it's still mighty distasteful during Ryuuko's transformation sequence when they jam a camera right between her legs, y'know?

the astoundingly detailed ass shot in SAO's murder mystery is still more disturbing though

To be fair, I don't anybody would accuse Kill La Klll of being tasteful in the first place.

And the way I retro'd this one up, was to go for that awkward Eagle/bird nose look that was popular in things like Cyborg 009... because making him a ninja turtle seemed a bit too extreme!

I can see that but I guess I am not bothered because I know anime can do so much worse then this. Not even talking about Sword Art Online either.

Eh, I mean, knowing the anime can do worse is not really a great reason to give KLK a pass, you know? I mean on a personal level yeah whatevs. But just because worse stuff exists doesn't mean this stuff ain't bad.

But hey, I like KLK regardless so whatevs

just not a first date kind of anime y'know

Is there a show that makes anyone else physically angry, like Family Guy?

Having a boring girlfriend is indulging in tropes?
Click to expand...

Oh definitely. It's whole thing is that it's self aware of the tropes with light novels and attempts to satirize them by referencing them in the story, but instead of subverting said tropes it plays them straight like the LNs it doesn't think it is.

I remember a few years ago Seth McFarlane stated he didn't want it to enter the same zombie state as The Simpsons. Too late.

Thaht's right, if you screw over things with a chick, just knock out her current boyfriend and everything will be a-ok.

His main focus has been movies now.
Like Ted, its upcoming sequel, and that awful Western movie which was just 90 minutes of Family Guy jokes in the old west.

Don't you love it when TV shows reference internet memes that haven't been used in YEARS? Even when they originally aired?

The problem with Family Guy is that due to the nature of the jokes it has no real staying power. Like what we may have thought was a good episode in 2007 will suck horribly now due to the way it's jokes age.

That's the biggest problem when your main focus is on pop culture references. The more you reference, the more it feels dated.
