It Occurs To Me

I'm hard pressed to think of any show I have felt so guilty about enjoying.
The fact that I'm enjoying it a great deal only adds to my nagging guilt.
However, I'm able to somewhat assuage my conscience as I am now pretty sure that this show is not actually pr0n. I base this assessment on the fact that I don't think the audience is supposed to stand up and cheer while watching pr0n.

Eh, Whedon would probably hate it with the fire of a thousand suns, Wesleyan doctrinaire second-wave "feminist" that he is. The cheesecake is kind of up-front. But I wouldn't call it porn - it's no dodgier than anything in Utena, for instance, which is pretty much the gold standard for feminist anime texts.
I tend to think of Kill la Kill as heavily Go Nagai-influenced - the Trigger people worked on Re: Cutie Honey and you'd have to be blind not to see the Nagai influence on Gurren Lagann, although it's no-where near as crazed over-the-top Nagai-batshit as Kill la Kill has been. More third-wave feminist than you'd expect from Japanese creators, almost Be Papas in sensibility, but as far as I can tell, there's no direct staff overlap. Enokido's been all over the industry in the twenty years since Utena, including a stint with the Trigger creative people on Diebuster, though, so who knows?
