kimblee, thank you arakawa

I am not crazy! I know he swapped those numbers! I knew it was 1216. One after Magna Carta. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just - I just couldn't prove it. He - he covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof! And I saved him! And ... I shouldn't have. I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy! Couldn't be precious Jimmy! Stealing them blind! And he gets to be a lawyer!? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance! And you - you have to stop him!

This show has a really sentimental place in my heart because it was one of the first animes that I’ve ever watched and was one of the first ones I was really obsessed with. Revisiting it over 10 years later I’ve realized how shocking and strange a lot of the sexual content was that completely either flew over my head or I just thought was strange but permissible when I was a preteen. I don’t even believe that a lot of it was fanservice, but I really don’t understand why the very young characters were walking into brothels (then getting assaulted! wtf?) Or a 10 ... year old having a significant character trait of groping women? If someone is able to overlook a lot of the poorly aged and uncomfortable and inappropriate sexual occurrences, this is a very lovely series to watch. Most of the characters are very charming and easy to like, including most of the antagonists!
I can’t in good faith recommend this show to any of my friends for the aforementioned reasons, which is a huge bummer.

Some of it is funny, but honestly the recurring sexual assault gag played for laughs was really too much for me. I have literally no idea why it was there and why it needed to be there, and the ending result(s) were also needlessly graphic? I get these are silly skits but they don’t match the tone of the humor from the original series at all? There were no blatant references to sexual assault in the original series, and that is not the type of humor that was shown at all, so forgive me for being shocked about it but I found it vastly inappropriate. ... And why was it the same character? I’m trying to wrap my head around the justification for why the scenes might exist and why they were done the way they were done.
