Welcome to c/anime on Hexbear!
A leftist general anime community for discussion and memes.
Simple rules
Be nice.
Use spoiler tags.
Don't sexualise underage characters, including 1000 year old loli ones.

High quality threads you should definitely visit
Gigathread: Good Anime Talks, Presentations, Conventions, Panels, etc
Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
Putting sexual assault in stories purely for shock and/or sexual-gratification sucks, putting them in stories as part of real character or necessary story development works but the focus of the content must absolutely not be about making the scene give anyone in its audience a hardon which this absolutely fails at. If you don't see how "Well acccchtually the sexy time is necessary for awakening their powers" I think you need to do some self-crit and ask yourself if the very worst of this industry has shifted your perception of what's ok and what's not.
Are you taking the piss? The directorial focus is repeatedly on sexualising shots, there is no debate here, it just is. You've very clearly let this medium get to your head.
Liking the show despite its problematic elements is one thing and gets a pass here but being entirely in denial about things anyone with basic media literacy can see gets you yeeted.
