Is there truly anything wrong with sexy men appearing in a cartoon?
What I’m getting from this is that it’s cool to have utter pap like Queen’s Blade and Ikki Tousen, because that lets dudes ogle women, but the same type of thing mustn’t be allowed to happen in reverse, oh no! I can practically feel my delicate male body being objectified from across the internet tubes! This is clearly setting a dangerous precedent soon we might start having actual female characters in anime who amount to more than just bland archetypes (haha, yeah, right)! Rarely have I seen a woman who wasn’t completely insane complain about a female fanservice show, so I’m very disappointed with the general response to this anime and how bad it makes male fans look. But neither was the aforementioned K-On!, or its predecessor Lucky Star people watched those shows for the cute characters, not whatever sort of plot or action they may have had. Now, in terms of actual content, it’s probably not going to be anything too special. I mean, this is really just a gender-swapped version of K-On!, one of Kyoto Animation’s past works, and it certainly looks more watchable than last season’s sleep-inducing Tamako Market - perhaps the most banal anime of the past few years - so I’m not too sure where, exactly, the complaints are coming from. Basically, people are mad about the production of Free! because… because.
