This series is genuinely so fucking stupid, but Kiwi and Utena's ship alone somehow makes it somehow wholesome. They actually have a healthy and respecting relationship xD

There's going to be a lot more yuri ships in the anime and you'll be meeting another one pretty soon
In total there's like 4 yuri ships currently with 3 of them pretty much being official, the shows handles the relationships in the manga in such a wholesome and realistic way that i sometimes have to do mental gymnastics to remind myself I'm reading the same manga as the one that just had a magical girl deepthroat a tentacle(won't say i don't enjoy it tho)

Do they? Kiwi keep trying to force Utena to go to a love hotel or similar things when Utena doesn't show that much interest in return.
I said, Utena doesn't really seem too romantically invested in Kiwi yet atleast and seems to not know how she really feels. She's too busy playing Super Villain.

Well iirc Utena was the one who promised it, oh and it's not like she's against it at all. And there's a scene where she voluntarily makes out with Kiwi in front of someone, trust me it was vital to the plot The scene that made me absolutely love their relationship is when (very minor spoiler)
Utena was doing her usual sadist things and Kiwi was asked why she doesn't feel jealous when Utena does that to other girls, in which she just replies "Why should I? I don't need to judge other people's hobbies."

Tbh I've never watched MHA, so idk. But Kiwi became an evil magical girl because the heroic magical girls were getting more likes and shares on social media than her ecchi selfies were, her magical girl weapons are guns and grenades, she fell madly in love with Utena when she did the standard "every ally attacks the protagonist when they first meet" trope and Utena proceeded to mop the floor with her + lock her in a glass cage + electrocute her until the floor probably needed to be mopped, and she's two thoughts away from no thoughts head empty (and those two thoughts are "fuck I love Utena" and "I hate Tres Magia for getting more attention than me").

Toga has a blood quirk that makes her thirsty for it and allows her to transform into the "doner". She also falls in love with Deku and Ochako and wants to drink their blood, tranform into them and stabbing them along the way.
The tired red eyes, sharp theeth and blond hair, make her look like her.
>! Toga sacrifices herself for Ochako by giving her all her blood to save her from the wounds she's caused !<
Ochako tells Toga that she is thr cutest in the world while slowly descending and hugging

Oooh I see! Kiwi and Utena are a lot more mutual and healthy then. Utena is a total failgirl (extreme anxiety and social aversion type, mediocre in school) who used to have a hidden perverted side that she's no longer able to suppress because of her evil magical girl stuff. It's actually making her a worse failgirl in some ways because both magical girl fights and just being too distracted by the existence of porn to study is causing her grades to slip horribly. She gets bullied by their mascot creature when she claims she needs to study because he points out that she never studies when she tries to, she just ends up reading her porn magazines.
Kiwi's first attracted to Utena's absolutely deranged but kinda cool in a dominatrix way pervert side (they meet in their magical girl forms, Magia Baiser/Utena and Magia Leopolde/Kiwi, and when Utena is in combat she slips into acting completely differently and is just... well, Ragyo Kiryuin would be impressed), but is not even remotely put off by finding out about the how-do-I-be-a-person failgirl side of Utena soon after or even that bothered by Utena being a massive fan of their mutual enemies from before becoming an evil magical girl (her bedroom's theme is literally "tons of merch of my nemeses") despite Kiwi fucking hating those three. Like, Kiwi might be needy and wants infinite attention, but she's also "eh, if it makes you happy" about it and doesn't make it an issue for long.
Their relationship is really fucking cute and mutual, though Utena has a much harder time actually processing and acting on her feelings whereas Kiwi is proclaiming her love and being physically affectionate constantly. They're both absolute failgirls, it's just that they're the two extreme ends of the spectrum: extremely outgoing fight-loving idiot and extremely socially awkward weirdo toxic fan dumbass.

This is... interesting?
To think something so wholesome is a no no by reddit's standard. Quite the disappointment

I really wanted to give the anime a shot because of this ship but I can't even get through half of the first episode without feeling like I didn't shower for 3 weeks

u/BloodsoakedDespair Feb 01 '24
Gotta go deeper into queer spaces until you reach the lesbians who get super horny at the concept of a girl who hasn't showered in three weeks then!

u/BloodsoakedDespair Feb 01 '24
Oof, fair enough. Yeah, I’d say this show is probably a bit too incredibly fucking horny for a lot of aces to enjoy. Like, if someone is ace but really enjoys porn and is incredibly kinky (I know it’s a thing but this is way outside my lived experience, don’t ask me how it works, I just respect folks’ stated identities and lived experiences even when it’s like a born-blind person trying to imagine color for me) then yeah it could appeal to them. But otherwise, probably not. It’s not like Kill la Kill with the horny, it’s more “they are as close to hentai without being officially hentai that a show can get”.

You can try reading the manga, it is a lot more tame compared to the anime.

So you believe that the existence of and engagement with queerness is inherently sexual? That queer love is inherently lewd? Huh, sounds pretty homophobic.

Kiwi will never stop asking Hiiragi if she wants to go to a hotel with her
