[Zonic]

I don't remember this episode (or the show, really) being this comedic, but it's great.

 

[cntr]

poof

 

[Hellwarden]

I have to imagine voice acting eating is weird.

 

[PapaGreg95]

Wait Gene was able to make her bleed with a fist but a knife breaks when it comes to contact with her skin

big eating lady is a pretty common anime trope

 

[SparksterMeta0]

She's got that Saiyan-sized appetite.

[Crocodile]

They may not have known Hilda long but you'd think the crew would be more shook after losing her.

Also yes, Aisha and her people are basically Sayians

There's an upcoming bit that was pretty entertaining

Spoiler

because it involves Killer Bee

, though I'm certain the anime will fuck it up.

The thing is, the creeper market provides a lot of profits, so there's no incentive to change. They'll leave the worst of it out of the Western collabs, but that has no bearing on Japanese-made stuff. The otaku are still going to pay through the nose for boobs.

Plus, the studios and artists that collab with Western productions are usually the ones that are used to doing it. Most of the industry doesn't give a shit. I mean, hell, a lot of anime adaptations are still made with the idea that you've already read the manga. Even Toei puts spoilers in their episode titles because magazines spoil the episode to everyone in Japan. They wouldn't do that if they actually cared about the Western market, and they don't.

Like if we are just talking about "otaku shit" there really isn't much to be done about it except ignore it and hope its worst aspects creep into mainstream stuff as little as possible and speak out when it does.

RIP Hilda.

I wasn't referring to the occasional boob juggle. I ain't a fan of that stuff, but if that was the worst anime did, I wouldn't think it was as big a problem. I'm talking about the super excessive stuff like the stupid amount of fan service they gave Yoko in Gurren Lagann, or the stupidly skimpy outfits so many women have in lots of action Shonen (cough cough bleach), or the absolutely disgusting shit like in Kill La Kill. Stuff that is quite popular in anime and among the fandom and yet has serious problems with fanservice and worse.

I ain't gonna make a moral argument about it or get outraged, I just think it has absolutely zero place in anime and will argue that whenever I can.

I guess what falls under "I don't like it or I think its stupid but why shouldn't it exist?" is pretty broad to me and "I don't like it or think its stupid and just straight up shouldn't be done" is pretty narrow. Like some of the shit Ryuko's mom was doing in KLK was just messed up (especially how they contextualized it") but I just can't feel anything more than "LOL that's dumb" for some of the outfit designs in KLK. "This is dumb" and "this shouldn't exist" are two different arguments (though context can move stuff from the first category into the second when it normally wouldn't be there normally).

 

[cntr]

This show feels like a weird hybrid of a Western and an anime. Silly faces and jokes about eating shit side-by-side.

 

[Zonic]

MY GUN SHOOTS ELECTRICITY BALLS

YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Space Cat got tranq'd!

 

[Schadenfreude]

Hahah. Gens stuck her with the bill.

 

[Hellwarden]

[Line_HTX]

[Korigama]

But does she poop?

Well,

Spoiler

it's implied later on in the series that she has normal biological functions, given a line while Gene was looking for her and Aisha guessed that she probably went to the bathroom

.

now that's a 90s spaceship

One designed by Shoji Kawamori (Macross co-creator) at that.

 

[Xe4]

I love the ship's computer!

[ramoisdead]

Ah yes, the infamous Fred Luo.

 

[Xe4]

Ah yes... Fred Luo. What a... character.
