Oh yeah, but I guess I was giving it a pass cause it goes both ways. Both the women and men have ridiculous designs.

Also, even though they definitely feel sexual, the actual dialogue doesn't focus on it too much (at least from what I can recall). It helps that the main character is really only interested in science.

Edit: It also has the issue that pretty much every major character is a guy.

Yeah, is always annoying when you've got the trope of

  • The explorer
  • The warrior
  • The inventor
  • The girl

Like gender is a class and not half the population.

It's because the artist historically did NSFW content

Doesn't that count for a lot of artists?

Pretty sure in Japan it's a trope that mangaka would do Hentai dude projects under a different name. I would judge an anime/manga on its content, and not by something unrelated.
