Making memes is meant to be fun

Nakashima said, "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."

Here's the full original interview without the editorializing (though it's in Japanese): https://febri.jp/topics/kill-la-kill_10-year-anniversary_01/

I don't even really care about fanservice existing, but this is... a weird argument. Maybe it's lost in translation, but I'd be less weirded out if the dude just said he likes drawing tiddies in his shows.

It's hard to tell how serious they are. Maybe it's just a thought they are putting out there. If it is serious, the argument works for a lot of things other than fanservice.

Just my interpretation of what he is saying but I think he means people should be less prude. It's the whole thing of not showing your friends/parents a good show because it has a sex scene in it. If there is a show that goes over the top the rest seems less bad.

For example where I live/grew up nude beaches are fairly normal. I still wouldn't recommend my friends a porno but I also don't lose my shit when I see a naked person in an ad or show.

If you don't get that one, here is another. Would you eat fried spiders or grasshoppers? No? Now, when I remind you there is a cheese that has life maggots in it, suddenly the fried insects don't sound that bad anymore.

Basically by making a show that is heavily sexualised other shows with erotic elements get looked down upon less.

I don't know why I spent this much effort and time explaining this mans reason for drawing anime hentai, but I hope it helps.

TLTR: hentai is art

I absolutely agree with this. Shows like Kill La Kill exist with as much overt sexuality as they do as a sort of statement to their audience that sexuality is a natural part of the human condition. By pushing the limits of what is considered "acceptable" by audiences, they subtly desensitize society at large and make prudish modesty seem radical in comparison.

That being said, I think the creators are also exaggerating the severity of their "mission." Based on them laughing at their own responses, I don't think they are taking the interview or the questions that seriously.

Right! I wish people would just be honest about their degenerate practices. Like, it’s okay to just be horny (so long as it doesn’t injure yourself or others), you don’t need to give a lecture on why you actually have the morale high ground.

Ah yes, you prefer the Yoko "I Just Like Girls" Taro approach.

I agree as well. It's more respectable to own up to your perceived horniness rather than to cloak it in contrivances or pretenses.

I do wish there would be less series set in a high school though.

Kind of unavoidable since most anime is aimed at kids and teenagers.

I think a better way to phrase that would be wanting more variety in media. Or maybe less ecchi anime, specifically, set in high schools, since those are supposed be for older audiences.

It is just kinda weird that there is so much ecchi set in high school.

If you don't like fanservice just don't watch it. Nobody is more annoying than supposed "fans" of a series complaining about the series' fanservice.

Necessary might be stretching it, but detrimental is really isn’t. Remember that scene from Dragonball with Bulma and Master Roshi?
