Yeah it's not the thing to watch if you don't want problematic themes but the show is smart.
The first episode is definitely shocking and I understand if ppl bailed on the show. However even then it felt very similar to Tarantino where it revels in the problematic to then subvert it. The absurd
cw SA material
Alien impregnation phallus (which had se7en vibes in some ways)Seems to suggest that the show wants you to feel uncomfortable. The whole scene is unsettling, and I think intentionally so now. Obviously there's also humor in it, but it's also like, contrast with the most recent episode and it's realism around SA and such and I think the show gets it.
Absolutely. It's not, as other commenters have suggested, just casually making light of SA as a joke. It's meant to be extremely uncomfortable. If anything, I think the show is directly confronting the problem of SA in anime.
