Funny how the "media literacy" crowd insists KLK is some kind of own towards fanservice in anime. They are irony poisoned retards who are unable to grasp how someone can be earnest through metaphors and symbolism.
The point of the show is Ryuuko integrating and weaponizing her sexuality, not pointing out bikini armor is not practical...
They are also the type of people who think if one series "subverts" something or parodies it, then that thing can no longer ever be used across the genre because its been destroyed.
Because as we know, once Evangelion mocked the concept of child soldier mecha pilots, Gundam was cancelled forever.
The Lion King is almost certainly a ripoff of Kimba the White Lion.
That doesn't make it any less of a good movie, from when Disney actually cared about quality.
By the way, I'm three Rebuild movies down. One to go. I don't see why you warned me about them so harshly--I agree they're not perfect, what with Mari not getting enough character development to build upon her Blood Knight foundation, and so far I do like the actual series better, but so far, I don't see why you didn't want me to see them.
Again, have not been able to see movie 4 yet. Will have time on Monday--it's over an hour longer than 3.33 was!
I meant it in the sense that it plays with escapist tropes. Tourists think for some reason all anime is just "muh power fantasy" when there are plenty of grim and depressing moments in old anime

Evangelion isn't that original either, it seemed new because of the 90's anime boom, but before it there was Ideon
Its just gnosticism draped over a mecha show. But its originality doesn't matter.
Its just the most mainstream example of a "deconstruction" in anime. Its the one everyone knows and can point to, even if they haven't seen it.

It wasn't supposed to be wholly original. It was intended to be, in part, a commentary on many of the common anime tropes.

And Gunbuster.
Hell, Gundam itself was a subversion criticism of the entire super-robot genre.
Japanese anime has no problem with evolving and devolving as necessary to expouse creativity and good story.
