    as an asexual person i find other people’s opinions on this interesting. the sex scenes do nothing for me and i’m usually just waiting for them to end but i understand my circumstances are not common. i can only assume that someone who is into sex gets something out of sex scenes, otherwise they wouldn’t exist.

    what i don’t understand is the demonizing of sex scenes in movies. like does everyone only watch movies with their parents/kids? i don’t like sex scenes due to my asexuality and i’m glad that there are few of them because this cultural shift benefits me specifically (who has never been in the target demographic) in a roundabout way. but i wouldn’t say they are all gross/unnecessary/graphic/etc as a blanket statement like i see people in this thread and other places online say. art doesn’t need to be for everyone.


  • i love this show, and it might be my favorite anime i’ve ever caught airing live. i can just tell that this is going to be incredible throughout. it has great production all around, the characters are really engaging, and the subject matter / setting is incredibly interesting. i just saw the third episode and i’m extremely excited for the next! this show should be at the top of everyone’s list this season.

    typically when i like something this much i’ll just start on the manga, but the craftsmanship on display in the anime is making me want to stick through it despite the wait.
