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