Kill la Kill Creator: Anime Fanservice Is Necessary or 'Everyone Will Die'
The creators of Studio Trigger's Kill la Kill make a bizarre case for the show's fanservice, arguing that it's necessary for the fate of humanity.

"We're making a commercial work, so we want the audience to see it. I don't care if they say, 'I don't get it,' but I don't want them to feel unnecessarily uncomfortable. On the other hand, if we make the work completely sterile, people's immunity will be weakened, and they will all die. Therefore, there is a way of thinking that we should dare to take on the stigma and transmit harmful things to the public."
I mean, hard to disagree with his sentiment. Seems like classic article author not getting past the translated words and being pedantic. This was an article written because the author read a translated Japanese interview with a Japanese media outlet, NOT a direct interview themselves.
Imagine if no entertainment or media ever showed content considered "unsafe" or "harmful." So many masterpieces of artwork would just be deleted from existence.
But maybe they could show risque stuff just.. as a normal part of the story? Rather than just grafting on panty shots of women who look distressingly young..
It's like having a national nudity day where it's curiously just hot women who are pressured to go nude
But maybe they could show risque stuff just.. as a normal part of the story?
I mean isn't that what kill la kill does?
Like the whole plot, yeah.
Kill La Kill is somewhat unique because the concept of nudity being considered shameful is core to the plot.
I mean yeah it’s fanservice dialed up to 11, but at least they use it as a theme and motif rather than just grafting it onto an unrelated plot.
