Okay, so I am currently watching the first two episodes of this show and while it seems interesting, I have a difficult time looking past the pervertedness; it is making me cringe and not in a good way. Like a little is fine, boobs very funny, sure whatever. This on the other hand feels very wrong, maybe I am just a massive prude since I don’t see many people taking issue with this. Yes it is fiction, I know, but it is kind of dulling my enjoyment.

Is this going to become less of a thing later on? I saw people mentioning it would, yet I saw some things about SA so I’m not too hopeful.

If the first two episodes is a bit too much for you it's better to just drop it now. Sexuality is a constant theme in MT and it will happen throughout.

Alright, thanks for your advice! Bit disappointing because I like the rest, and I’m usually okay with sexuality… just not like this.

@GreenBlue Yeah, it's a shame because the show has so much going for it... and then it pulls stunts like that. 🤦

Right? It is so unnecessary, and the point would also come across with way fewer/less intense stunts as you call them appropriately. Oh well… might just not be for me, then.

@GreenBlue A series that strikes me as similar but not nearly as problematic is Faraway Paladin. You might check it out if you're not familiar with it.

That looks very interesting! I actually haven’t really watched any anime in like 6 years except for AoT and a movie up until the last two-ish months, so I’m still not very up to date and recommendations are always welcome. I’ll look into it for sure, thank you.

@GreenBlue Sure thing! And I'm always happy to recommend stuff if people want.
