says the dude who made the most tame ecchi fanservice in anime. If he likes ecchi so much then how come he makes no ecchi? he's a fraud, true ecchi creators talk with their pens, look at yabuki and mahoako director.
Depending on how you define fanservice, it is necessary to anime. You can't have a show that's purely narratively driven otherwise it won't have enough viewers. You need some ecchi or cool fights to get the commoners invested enough for the show to be successful. Ecchi can also give a bit of breathing room for a show so it doesn't feel too serious.
Based as hell. I don't think it's necessary, like it shouldn't be in every single anime, but an average series like Fire Force can be enhanced with some delicious Tamaki for example.
Based. God bless you Imaishi-san. A true anime lover through and through that knows what's the best in anime: giant robots and beautiful women.
@KryzakamiHrybami I think his anime work as romps. Simple, fun romps. That's what Triggerkeks don't understand - his anime are meant to be simple. His whole style is probably the closest to what a mecha fan thinks should be an anime - a decent story, well done character designs and good action.
Mako is a character that would not exist without Nakajima-san's script (Imaishi)
The other day, there was a screening at Mixalive TOKYO in Ikebukuro to commemorate the Year of the Jusou.
Imaishi: At the screening, I decided to choose my favorite episode, and I watched it again and again. After that, I felt like ``I can't make something like this anymore.'' No matter what work I make, I always think, ``I was able to make it because of that time.'' I don't think we're calculating that much -- I think we're calculating more than we did with Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, but the physical strength of the studio (TRIGGER) at the time still doesn't balance what the work is trying to accomplish. (laughs) If the amount that could be produced on-site at that time was 10, it feels like we would have ordered about 20 times that amount. Well, that's why I was able to grow.
By the way, which episode did Director Imaishi choose for the screening?
Imaishi: Normally, when I'm asked to choose the best episode, I choose a slightly strange episode. Speaking of Kill la Kill, it's the fourth episode (``A very unhappy morning has come'') and the thirteenth episode (``I feel like I'm giving you a rose...''). After the main story is told, you choose the next episode. This is because both the storyboard man and the animation director do their best in the main episodes, so the result is quite good even if the director doesn't have to put much effort into it. That's why in the episodes that aren't like that, I tend to have to put in the work myself, and I feel more attached to the characters. But for this screening, I feel like I should choose a proper screening time (lol).
Nakashima: That means that Mr. Imaishi is also getting older (lol).
Imaishi: No, no. Also, the episodes selected by the audience's popularity vote were also screened, but they were a little different from what I expected.
Nakashima: That's right. According to the popularity poll, Mako was overwhelmingly popular, including episodes 4, 7 (``The Bastard I Can't Hate''), and episode 23 (``Imitation Gold'').
That's a bit surprising.
Imaishi: It's more popular than the first episode ("If Only There Were Thorns Like Thistles") or the final episode (episode 24, "Beyond the Endless Darkness").
Nakashima: If that was going to happen, then we shouldn't have put Mako in the show (laughs).
Imaishi: What! I'm sure Nakajima was the one who felt the most strongly about Mako (laughs).
Nakashima: No, it was Sushi-Oku who was the biggest. I was just writing it objectively as an adult (laughs).
Imaishi: Hahaha. But I think Mako is a character that wouldn't exist without Nakajima's script. The sense that the logic behind her words and actions is inexplicable is something that only Nakajima could have.
Nakashima: No, Mako has her own logic.
Imaishi: The way you put that logic together is not the way an ordinary person would do it (lol). It certainly makes sense, but normal people don't think like that.
Nakashima: No, there are people who often have this kind of conversation while walking on the street. ``Do you want to go to Yoshinoya?'' ``No, I'd rather go to Matsuya,'' he says, and then goes to Freshness Burger.
Imaishi: I wonder if that conversation has any meaning (lol).
There may not be another work that is as ``playable'' as this (Nakajima)
What did you think of Nakajima-san when you saw it at the screening?
Nakashima: I thought it was an extremely intellectual work with a lot of logic. That's a lie (lol). Aside from that, as Mr. Imaishi said earlier, I don't think we'll ever be able to play this much in a TV series again. The same goes for the title, from subtitles to trailers, I'll try to fill it with everything I like and see how far I can play it. There was something like that.
Certainly, I feel like this is a series where Nakajima-san's colors are very evident.
Nakashima: Basically, only people who don't listen to others appear. I was wondering how far the story could go with just such a strong character, but a work like that can't be done without the understanding of the staff and director. Mr. Imaishi understands that, and no matter how violent I make the characters, he makes sure they stick together as a work. ...I mean, that's what you're looking for, right? (laughs) It's not that I don't write freely now, but I think I may never be able to write as freely as I do again.
There is a part of it that was possible precisely because it happened 10 years ago.
Imaishi: Also, there is the era. There are some things that I can't create unless I think about it a little more. That's what skin exposure is all about.
Nakashima: I think even I would refrain from portraying the Mankanshoku family. Maybe today's kids won't allow things like peeking into the bathtub. If you were to create a scene where the person looks into the bath, you would have to be a little more careful about the ex-cuse -- for example, if you don't look into the bath, this person will die. This person's life is at stake, can you condemn him? Something like that (laughs).
Honestly, I think they should just cut out the bath scene (lol).
Imaishi: No, I don't want to cut it (lol).
Nakashima: Ahaha. However, if you ask me if it's interesting to have a scene where you peep into the bathroom after putting as much logic as you can into it, you'll say it's not that interesting. So I think I'll cut it.
Imaishi: Certainly (lol).
Nakashima: After all, what we are creating is a commercial work, so we want our customers to see it. It can't be helped if someone says, "I don't understand," but I don't want them to feel unnecessarily uncomfortable. However, on the other hand, if you make it completely sterile, your immune system will be weakened and everyone will die. Therefore, some people think that we are daring to expose ourselves to stigma and send out harmful things.
Imaishi: Ahaha.
Nakashima: We do this with the strong ambition that ``this is necessary for human immunity.'' People will never understand, but we will suffer infamy and perish for the sake of humanity. There is also a way to go about it with that kind of feeling (lol).
Imaishi: However, if possible, I don't want to perish (lol).

He is basically saying if people arent used to sexy or scandalous things it would be too overwhelming and everyone would keel over dead lol i get the sentiment
Sounds like Kazuki Nakashima's and Hiroyuki Imaishi's new hit light novel is progressing nicely. I heard its working title is "reincarnated in world where fan service is increasingly vanishing and humanity will soon disappear"
imaishi works are usually horny the best of it is dead leaves and re cutie honey but he also said that you cannot make those anime today anymore in another article

@DesuMaiden Moralfags will always find something to complain about. That's not stopping anything from being produced since there are enough controversial stuffs coming out these days to prove this. And people are willing to pay for them.
People who complain about how things cannot be said/done anymore are either extremists or cowards. Imaishi seems like he falls into the latter.

@KryzakamiHrybami what makes you think moralfags cannot successfully censor the Internet. They can...
@KryzakamiHrybami
I meant for some reason you excluded conservatives (even politicians) as moralists because you said moralists don't censor.
@traed Sorry for misunderstanding, but I thought moralfags was just a internet slang for people moralizing and arguing online... It's not exactly what conservative do when they attempt to censor.

@KryzakamiHrybami they're something in between. Some of them genuinely have power and would like to censor stuff just because, while others are holier than thou types.
How cute of him to assume the audience of fanservice shows has anything to do with humanity not disappearing
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.
