Only in anime do you get to become Daredevil in like 5 minutes just by deciding "gently caress it, eyes are overrated, don't need 'em."

Ryuko would be loving dead, because her lovely uniform design leaves her with zero loving armor of any kind

meanwhile, that guy was wearing a goddamn Iron Man suit, which actually serves a protective purpose

Kamuis don't need to cover skin to offer protection, they make the wearer physically stronger as well as project a skintight field around them.

At least its at worst a mediocre show with wayyyyy too much hype behind it.

Honestly is her stripper outfit really any different from what heroines in stuff like Conan the Barbarian wear or Superhero comics?

Well it depends on the comic. In general though I agree the outfits aren't that bad, but even held to such lax standards the show still fails because of the rape

At least that works via magic bullshit, the eye thing is something that only even usually works in fiction if the person has trained for like years without their sight. Yet in this show they did it like "Now that I haven't seen for like a couple of hours, I CAN PERCEIVE EVERYTHING"

A more cohesive plot, character development, less repetitive "arcs", an editor who would tell the writers to go "No stop it and stay on target"

Really KLK suffers like the Prequels did in that no one told George Lucas what to do.

Except that the boss chick said that losing his vision helped him sync with his dumb magic suit and it replaced his senses. Lol at people defending naked tits power but saying " No no no losing a sense doesn't work that way!"
