In the vein of my Anime and Female Characters [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.859014-Anime-and-Female-characters-yes-this-topic-again?page=1] topic, I found a comment on Anime News Network by one of the reviewers, Hope Chapman, about Akane no Kill and how she sees it as misogynistic here [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=4343696#4343696]
The basic thrust is that all the woman are reduced down to their gender and sex appeal and that there is a rape joke that goes too far.
I haven't seen the show so I can only reiterate what was posted so please read and comment as you please.
Edit: I edited the wording a bit to make it obvious that it's her opinion as a reviewer and not a general consensus about the show.
