| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This show is the first anime I've seen in the post-Eva era that really feels like a successor to Evangelion- all the characters are kinda awful while having sympathetic points, some more than others- Seiko is just completely awful. This episode critically deconstructing male gaze and pedestalization of women, similar to Dirty Pair Flash episode 15, even if in this case the men amusingly pedestalize Nozomi as an object of suffering and coarse, plain femininity. The increasingly bizarre and fetishistic behavior of Nozomi's "suitors", oblivious to how freaked out they are making her- very clever and funny. I think there was a real opportunity here to be really daring and include homosexual pairings instead of only hetero ones, which is unfortunate. For example, the apearnce of female SDF soldiers and TV news crews to prevent the otherwise mainly male SDF from pairing in a homosexual way. Perhaps this would have been perceived as too offensive to the JSDF, but even with the convenience of females on hand, mathematically I'm sure most of the SDF pairings would have been male-male. |
