maybe so, but the female heroes outfits are still more exploitive....Midnight's costume has individual breasts and one of the female heroes is wearing a fucking Starfire bikini with her entire tits hanging out of it
seriously though if Naruto had ended his speech to Sasuke there with saying "I love you" rather than "we're Friends" it would've been a fuck ton more believable
the fact that the valley where Naruto and Sasuke's final battle in classic Naruto took place is literally called
"Final Valley"
is absurdly lazy and stupid
definitely not this show takes it to a level where it reaches a point that Naruto and Sasuke marrying girls and getting them pregnant is actually a literal insult to the viewer's intelligence
some shows like Voltron or Fairy Tail have SLIGHT shiptease moments with the guys....but this show seemed like it was straight up Canon that Naruto wanted Sasuke's ass at almost every chance it had
then suddenly he's got a wife and their son has a Spin-off
all their "friendship" moments are more like sexual tension
either Kishimoto is SUPER GAY and in denial or he has no idea what male/male friendships are like
Shonen manga clichee
Having the main male characters have longingful romantic flashbacks to their time together
then suddenly aggressively make out with women and pretend all the gay subtext never happened
from what I understand they said that FLCL progressive and Alternative aren't necessarily 100% connected to FLCL but more like other writers versions of it
and that FLCL Alernative is actually more like Classic FLCL than Progressive was
**shrug**, I would say I hope for some same sex romance in FLCL A but the promo shows the girl meet her guy so eh, still be good I'm sure
still waiting for a non-homophobic anime to come out this year
