You're reaching and probably what a lot of Anime enthusiasts would go to say to justify what's clearly just gratification for the genre's biggest demographic. Lonely adolescent males.It would be somewhat amusing if the show didn't take itself so seriously. This isn't Kill La Kill where comedic overtures make the concept work, the tone of the show just doesn't lend to it. The premise is so grave already, added with the protagonists self deprecating voice overs... even the interactions with supporting cast brought a bunch of srs-business drama. Yea no.I'm sure underneath it all Trigger has some clever allegory to tell about young love and coming-of-age FLCL style but from what I've seen (which isn't much, 3 episodes) it's pretty tasteless.What's hilarious is the people who laugh this sort of crap off as comedy.
