Culture 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.

The creators of Studio Trigger's popular Kill la Kill anime series have made an intriguing case for the show's blatant fanservice, arguing that it's an essential component of both the medium and the show itself for the fate of humanity.

Japanese outlet Febri spoke to Kill la Kill writer Kazuki Nakashima and director Hiroyuki Imaishi. As Nakashima joked that bathtub peeking scenes were probably off-limits these days except for a good reason, like a character's life being at stake, he outlined his view on fanservice somewhat more seriously. "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."



As Imaishi and Nakashima laughed, the latter continued, "We do it with the high aspiration that 'this is necessary for the immunity of human beings.' We'll never be appreciated for it, but we're willing to go out in disgrace for the sake of humanity. There is a way to do it with that kind of feeling (laughs)." Imaishi added, "Be that as it may, I don't want to perish if I can help it."

Kill la Kill was the first televised anime series by Studio Trigger and one of the most popular anime of the last decade, ranking 55th out of over 20,000 anime on MyAnimeList (1.7 million members). It represented the beginning of a slew of original works, with Trigger now well-known for maintaining a consistent aesthetic of loose, dynamic art across all its anime. Their titles include the popular Darling in the Franxxx, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Kiznaiver, Little Witch Academia and the currently airing Delicious in Dungeon on Netflix.

Kill la Kill streams on Crunchyroll, which describes the series: "After 6 years since their collaboration on the ground-breaking anime series, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Hiroyuki Imaishi and Kazuki Nakashima are back to shock the world! Ryuko Matoi is a vagrant schoolgirl traveling from place to place searching for clues to the truth behind her father’s death—the 'woman with the scissor blade.' The journey has led Ryuko to Honnouji Academy."

Should've dropped more nukes.

If your market is entirely dependent on financially irresponsible and horny shut ins then maybe it's proof you learned all the wrong lessons from Tezuka's debtmaxxing strategies and your entire industry hasn't been stable for the past 60 to 70 years.

Are journoscum REALLY this stupid?

(Yes)

Maybe the creators have a point, nobody is liking the uglification agenda currently shitting up western media.

Uglification and neo-puritanicalism corresponded with the rise of coomers in the 2020's. Maybe the rise of internet porn also made coomerism more feasible, but it seems like people were less sick-minded and perverted during the 2000's and early 2010's despite scantily-clad women being in every song and advertisement

This is an obvious joke. Do the journos also think Suda51 actually gets sexually aroused by cloud storage?

Most of them are underaged though, just like most of the characters in Kill La Kill.

True, I amend my statement to legal age tiddies good.

I've also never watched Kill La Kill. Probably should at some point because it does look fun.

At least when you pander to coomers you get attractive characters and the women look like women.

Except for ugly people.

i know for Japanese men it may seem like the world will end if they don’t see high schooler panty shots at least one a day, but i’d like to assure them this is not actually true

I fully think he's telling the truth. Think about it, is humanity really going to survive if we end up being a bunch of uptight prudes who only like pictures of cats and dogs?

 

[Male Idiot]

The guy made an anime on how nudism can save humanity from alien clothes.

What was the journo thinking he would say?

Also, the girl gets her clothes powered by feeding it with blood. Cutting/menstrual blood reference, a double whopper in one.

This also makes the clothing shrink, emphasising that she does not have to be ashamed of her body, and gets empowered by gawking looks.

I dare any feminist to make sense of it. Their heads will explode.

It’s the funniest thing ever when anime wankers try to argue that the fan service in their media is for any other purpose than for titillation. It’s almost like they are insecure about their media choices and have to justify it to other people.

Kill La Kill also had those MILF oppai for true connoisseurs:

Nah the guy just wants to be deeeeeeeep and hidden themes.

Anime tits need no justification. They are beauty made manifest. The amerimutt is eternally befuddled how only women have breasts in anime, and that they aren't hairy and brown.

Wait... she has rainbow hair... and molests her daughter? What was the japanese man trying to imp-ry here?
