But that scene where the girl is just regaining conciousness & her friend's fat dad is on top of her moving back/forth, drooling & shit? Nah. Nah, man. Not for me. I'll pass on this one.

Meh.. I can forgive Kill La Kill. It's a raunchy insanely over the top comedy-ecchi anime.
As far as sexuality. The Japanese are puritanical compared to Americans. The whole bizarre perversion thing is actually heavily based on their responsive sexual culture. A good comparison is that while "normal" American HS kids may start holding hands and making out in HS, and the "norm" would be going-all the way senior year around 17-18, in Japan that whole process wouldn't happen till college - which is where American youth tend to pretend they are porn stars.
I just can't forgive HOTD. The chars are just sooooo clichéd and stupid. The "hot-cute girl", the "hot Japanese kendo girl", the "hot stuck up nerdy anal-retentive school president", "fat otaku nerd" and "hot cool kid".
