...wow. o.O

I totally understand this, OP. That would just be really distracting all the time. And this particular costume design doesn't say to me, "We're embracing our bodies!", it says "Hey neckbeards, lookit the tits!".

This. I've been recced the show, but the costumes are way too distracting for me. It's a neckbeard/vulgar combo for me.

Exactly. Why would anyone seriously argue that complaining about female characters in extremely revealing clothing is a slut-shaming act? It should be fairly obvious that the use of female characters for gratuitous sex appeal is sexist, not empowering. The OP's grievance wasn't specific to female characters' costumes—they made that as explicit as possible—but if you've ever seen a male character whose outfit was designed to designate him as a sex object, please let me know.

It's happened, but not very often. And not to the exclusion of the guy expressing himself too. These characters strike me as more like dolls - they're just there for dress-up and to show off the T&A, not because they actually care what they're wearing.

[xenomantid]

"Dolls" is a good descriptor for such characters. The character designs in the secret look like extensions of pin-ups.

I take it you haven't watched Kill la Kill? Because... wait, let me just show you:

















The guys in this anime are objectified as well and it's pretty even in how they're presented. Both guys and girls have "transformation sequences" where you can see them naked. One character in particular (Aikuro) undresses almost every episode.

I do understand the criticism, but KLK isn't just another neckbeard fodder.
