You can dress like a whore and still be pure

it's about slutshaming, and the sengoku apparently

deeper meaning faggot fuck off

I really like the message or theme that someone can break rules and go against social order and still be a hero and a good person. A lot of anime characters seem to like the taste of boot polish so it's a nice to see an MC that actively rebels against society.
Aaron Wright
Female coming of age, what it means to be a person, the pressures of society on the individual, familial love is basically a super power
9/10 would watch again
Camden Ward
Tits being hot, also punching being fun.
>it's a nice to see an MC that actively rebels against society.
What. Have you never tried, like, any delinquent manga? Just for the most obvious entire-genre example. Or the eight billion series featuring the MCs being literal rebels or terrorists?
Luis Garcia
That megacorporations are just a front for space aliens bent on world domination.

I thought it was just a cool show that slightly mimicked SA2.
Hudson Davis
The official answer is that it's about girls growing up, same as how TTGL was about boys growing up. Obviously there's a lot of details there, but the themes about her relationship with her clothes and her mom are very obvious elements.
Jordan Cook
The show isn't based on metaphors but puns.
>Lol fashion and fascism are very similar words in Japanase
Even the title is a pun.
Aiden Diaz
Clothing is evil, and nudism is right.
Liam Clark
what the actual fuck OP!
a show as a metaohor?
so you wanna tell me at any given time the Screen showed something it meant to be seen different.
how am i suppose to tell you the meaning of the whole show if nothing is really happening.
You wanna say i am stupid?
Dont you fuck with me!

There's no purer love than a love between a girl and her clothes.

Worth a watch or not
Jose Gomez
Yes.

Asses and titties are the lifeblood of anime.
Hunter Jones
Fate, the life fibers are the red string of fate. Ragyo/Nui/Junkestu/OLF represent slavery to fate, Satsuki/E4/The Nudist represent rejecting/fighting against fate, Ryuko/Senketsu represent choosing your own fate but also accepting what that entails.
Liam White
These and the pressure of the media and society on young girls growing up, specifically on their bodies and the oversexualisation of them. Ragyo represents society forcing people to believe in an ideal body type and nudist beach are a rebel group that represent loving your own body
Dylan Young
they probably just wanted to do some skimpy clothes and jiggly tiddies
Oliver Sanchez
Puberty and your first menstruation. Hence, you know, the blood.
Bentley Johnson
Explain the lack of nipples then.
Noah Reyes
Something something metaphor for the sengoku era something something liberation
Easton Stewart
Pretty sure all that stuff is just symbolism rather than a metaphor
Leo Sanchez
Gainax being better than Trigger
Luis Barnes
Good fap material desu
Camden Fisher
pretty much the opposite of slut shaming, if anything it poked fun at purityfags
Brody Harris
Yeah it's about body empowerment and using your sexuality as a strength. People who dropped it because of ecchi unironically got filtered, and I don't use that term lightly
Wyatt Russell
On of the early themes is about how women accept their sexual power. Ryuko is embarrassed. This prevents her from using her full power. Satsuki embraces her sexuality because it serves her goals.
They both get their power by bleeding into their clothing which is an obvious was to allude to a girl becoming a fertile woman with her period.
There is also discussion about the transformative aspect of clothing. Clothing evolves humanity per the show, but it also because a trap that conforms you. The rejection of clothing is linked with being true to yourself.
There is also possibly a direct jab at Japanese corporate culture. The main characters are literally fighting a corporation owned by their mother.
Finally, an overarching theme is the not letting power, success, or even depression mess you up, encapsulated by the theme “Don’t lose your way.” The main villain of course has an ego trip. Several characters lust after the power of the uniforms. Money nearly destroys an otherwise great family. Finally, Ryuko has to learn to control the wild emotions that come with her sexual power in order to use it effectively (back to theme one).
Landon James
>The rejection of clothing is linked with being true to yourself
I don't agree with this because Ryuko herself rejects the idea of being naked, to her being herself means wearing Senketsu even if it's only in her heart. Choosing what it is that you want to wear instead of being forced into an outfit is what it means to be true to yourself in this show, even the nudist eventually rejoice that they are finally able to wear clothes in the end.

Benjamin Wright
Why wear that? That bra isn't even supporting her boobs
Easton Thomas
Ryuko has a Kiryuin body. Large cup on small band is less common if found at all in person and more expensive. She cut herself off from dad and his money so its possible she was just buying the cheapest shit available, hence why she only has two colors of undies and none of it fits properly.
