Alicia is really is one of the best heroine characters i have seen in any medium for a good while. Pure badassery, selflessness and determination

And it's not just empty or hypocrite bravery. At the start it does feel like that, but she really proves herself well

Agreed, I think that's what makes Alicia as a character tick through all her moments of suffering and pulling through

I was a little worried about how her heroine credentials might have suffered in the beginning after the "get yer tits out!" moment. I'm glad they didn't linger on that vibe and it was a genuine cross-species communication issue.

She's a real one, I'm glad she got the proper hero treatment.

The fact that her bra held on for dear life despite being cut through this episode and wasn't even emphasised showed that, apart from a few interesting shots (which I'm not complaining about), this show really wasn't interested in sexualising her.

I like it. As much as I like my fanservice, I also like when an anime doesn't indulge in it.

It almost made those few shots you talked about more jarring. I mean, the shot itself was hot, but it still made me "wtf" because I was so unused to the show being like that in any way, shape, or form. (Pun not intended)

It feels like a weird shot, but not full fanservice tbh. It more like the studio thought it would be funny.

There is something freeing to let her be inelegant, messy and flail about half naked falling to her death, she's won, what she looks like doesn't matter.

u/RelativeMundane9045 Sep 18 '25

Yes, great point. It's a much more realistic "I'm fighting for my life here who cares what I fucking look like or what I'm wearing" than a show that stops to focus on the embarrassment every single time.

You can clearly see her getting messier as the series goes on, but ironically she keeps getting more admirable

Do away with the “Champion” of the legend, Alicia is the champion of sheer fucking willpower

u/JzanderN Sep 17 '25

Yeah, fanservice is something you need to either indulge in consistently or not at all, or the times when you do indulge in it will stick out in a bad way. There is no half-assing it. You either full-ass it or no-ass it.

I like the way you talk,  ass-y man.
