I feel like you're reading too much into this,
I didn't even saw or once thought that any of the actions that were done there were "homophobic" and only saw it being mentioned for the first time in this review and had to think hard where there were such scenes that could potentially make me as a viewer feel negatively towards LGPT, and re-rolling the scenes in my head, I still couldn't find what you were talking about till I've read what you referred to, which imo again, is overthinking and actually could potentally create the opposite effect by putting LGPT in the spotlight for no reason as a group of people thaqt would have zero tolerance towards Japanese (again Japanese) anime and manga culture. pointing out every scene that could potentially piss someone from western or a different culture just means one thing, and that's that they're viewing the wrong genre for them to begin with, I won't say they weren't sexual harassments there, but that's how this culture goes, and if you ask me, for dark midevil-like world with not many rules, it portrait these dark times quite fine even if it seems exaggerated most of the times, though it may actually help cause if a show make you hate a villain character, that means they did a good (even though cheap) job in making you see said chara as one, People come to these shows to watch certain type of shows that you can only see on Japanese culture these days, Keep telling them to cut or alter sensetive parts will just change it from what it's to fit for other cultures that for the most part, are just anime tourists that seem to not even know what they're viewing. TL;DR You can crit the author's bland choice of story-telling as much as you want. But if you don't like it to the point you want stuff to change just so they could work with different cultures or groups of people, which you claim to be offended by it, Then this is definitely not the show for you or them, rather than start culture war try look for something else that you might like more or work toward making the industry making such genres rather than delete an existing one that you can't stand. |

I finished this anime, but boy did it disappoint. The direction was not there to give Touka's manipulations and edgy monologues the gravitas they needed to be properly compelling. |

I'll always remember the show for all the jarring transitions to CG.
Eventually I got pretty bored with Touka just casually streamrolling through everything and copious amounts of CG enemies with the most basic and uninteresting powerset of all time. I mean, Hajime isn't totally different but at least when he's flexing he makes it look cool and isn't just waving his arms around an yelling all the time. Seras...I mean, she's basically just there for eye candy (her main outfit alone) and to lust after Touka in the most polite way possible. Which, sure, I can appreciate that to some extent but it also means her character is mostly just a lust object by nearly every male character except the MC most of the time. She never gets a single cool action scene despite all appearances that she could and should. She gets more action with her CG sword dance in the OP than she does in the actual show. Eve deserved to be in a better show. We didn't even get the satisfaction of watching him finally take on his classmates or Vicious. At least Arifureta and My Instant Death Ability got to that point. I feel like all the messed up lesbian moments were just a matter of "girl on girl is hot and let's twist it like everything else in the show." Pretty problematic, but it fit the vibe. |

Is this the longest title for an anime?
It's gotta be up there. |
