Actually...No Game No Life doesn't have even hints of incest. It is one of the reasons I like No Game No Life.

But if there really is less of that going on going forward, well, that is at least good.

This guy's shows are always weirdly sexual in any case. As long as it's not incest it probably won't weird me out that much, I doubt it can really do much to top YKA's lesbian bears eating up the protagonists' yuri juices after coming before the lesbian bear court. (Jesus. I swear that's not an euphemism. The show is just weird.)

The what?!


Also, were we watching the same NGNL? Pretty sure Shiro was in love romantically with Sora even if he didn't really reciprocate it (even saying he and her didn't bathe because with their psychic link or whatever made it impossible for one to bathe alone and Sora didn't want to chat with Chris Hanson for bathing with his sister). Then again maybe I'm just conflating the lolicon fanservice (why the fuck are there so many pantyshots of an 11 year old?!) with incest fanservice. Either way it's still an unsettling and creepy aspect of the show.

I mean, it's a show named Lesbian Bear Storm, same creator as Penguindrum, it is about what one would expect. But with more cannibalism, and gay bears, probably.

And I mean, maybe? I tend to be pretty turned off by incest (and by extension i tend to pick up on hints of that a lot, even when it may not 100% be there). I found NGNL to have that aspect be pretty nonexistent. They were close, but it never got creepy from what I remember (watched it like around a year ago, maybe my memory isn't 100% up to date but at least that's what I remember).

What amazes me the most about it even is that they're not even related by blood, and while grosser shows may have used that to justify running rampant with it NGNL didn't. Which I respect.

On the other hand, yeah there was a fair amount of unnecessary fanservice, especially with Shiho. The reason is Japan. But yeah...it may be conflating those two things, or maybe it was very incestuous and I just never noticed. Which in either case, is for the best.

So is YKA a parody of a hentai? Because "Lesbian Bear Storm" sounds like a parody of a hentai. Or an actual hentai. Goddamnit Japan...

But yeah even if you pick up on incest subtexts, they'll soon be dropped as even more shit comes your way. Especially with Ringo and the target of her obsession. Because it's stops being "innocent creepy" (the general kind of creepy you get from the scenario of a highschooler who's hot for teacher) and starts being... Well... Let's just say she has a complex based on an event that happened before she was born and that fucked up her psyche.

Not really, it's pretty much all weird allegory for homosexuality. The bears represent gayness. And the lesbians, also represent gayness. There's stuff about bullying and conformity and acceptance/forgiveness, romance...It's, you know, all just filtered through a lot of weirdness.

Like the stuff I mentioned earlier about the juices. You know the weird ass "Survival Strategy" sequences in Penguindrum? How they're weird and sort of come out of nowhere? It's kind of like that. The rest of the series is pretty weird also, but it only gets really out there during those parts.

Well I'm 6 episodes into Penguindrum.

That Ringo sure has some issues.

So it's just her sister's diary and she's trying to replicate everything she did with Tabuki...? Really didn't see that coming. Some issues, man.

Finally they're doing a new Full Metal Panic anime.

Yep, the chick needs psychiatric help. And it gets really fucked up in the second half (everything does, that's when we see flashbacks to why all this fucked up shit is happening). She gets particularly more... Forward about Project M. Ooh boy... That was... A thing she did... It was unsettling.

I'm up to episode 10 now. She did the thing with the cake in 8...I'm assuming that's what you refer to, because if she goes even further than that in the future, maaaaaaaaaan. Still more than half the series to go though, so I guess she has time.

Episode 9 was trippy too. Library, Broiler...confusing, but I think I may be starting to get it. Maybe.

Nice to finally see the pink hair dude and Double H make appearances, anyway. I had been wondering what their deal was.

Huh. Thought the 15 year old girl trying to date rape her teacher because she thinks she's her sister and getting knocked up by the guy who used to be said sister's best friend will make her life whole again all happened later in the series.

But it still gets more fucked when we learn about how Tabuki knew Momoka. Also, creepy twin rabbit boys.
And yes. The Child Broiler.

I should rewatch this crazy train.

...Hey that works with the train symbolism in the show.
