Do you think Kill la Kill could've benefited from being less horny and over the top, or would it just be more boring?

I mean, the excessive juvenile horniness of the show is definitely a valid reason to dislike it, and not to want to engage with it, but if you get rid of it you basically get rid of its reason to exist.

KLK is about sexuality, shame, body acceptance, coming of age, puberty, and how especially teenagers' bodies are structurally commodified and abused by systems of social control. You kinda can't cut the horny, fucked-up sexual weirdness out of that without fundamentally altering what the thing is.

There's a serious critical discussion to have about building a church with the devil's tools - whether or not the visual language of horny-ass ecchi anime can meaningfully be deployed to tell KLKs story without fatally undercutting it. KLK wants to comment on the commodification and hypersexualization of teenage girls' bodies, but it also very gleefully indulges in those tropes as spectacle, and positions appropriation of them as a form of empowerment, and while I think that on balance it ultimately does work as a story, and I find it compelling, that's also a valid place of criticism, and a valid reason to reject the story or find it distasteful or beyond the pale.

My girlfriend 2 episodes into Kill la Kill: "I don't know it's interesting but it's just got a lot of ecchi fanservice that kind of makes me uncomfortable? Like it's fun but i'm not sure i can get past that?"

The same girlfriend 7 episodes into Kill la Kill: "And here's my theory on how Satsuki's philosophy about human nature relates to the writings of Thomas Hobbes and how her opponents represent collective opposition to a natural state of humanity."

Me, watching the plan unfurl perfectly:
