I liked it when it aired and I already hate it.

What was the point of including Tsumugu? He did absolutely nothing relevant for the whole show.

>>104586284
It was stuff like building up the Nudist Beach organization to be a more prepared force than what it devolved into is one of my hated aspects of this show.

>>104585974
i think Trigger has a hard on for creating interesting and unique characters just to forget about them.
Remember in the second Gurren Lagann movie where everyone got a Tengen-Toppa sized mech and then became useless 5 seconds after each of their introduction?
Heck, one pair of them even said after their introduction "We will make you remember us!" and then got literally beaten in the very next frame.

>>104586591
>dat pointless sister backstory that could have been folded into Sensei's backstory

>>104586631
I can't be the only one though that when we saw then combine that we were hoping they would become a more formidable force than they had been. But I was quickly put back in my place seconds later; silly me for thinking that DTRs and Nudist Beach could be cool.

>>104585974
That was possibly the biggest let down of the episode. I was looking forward to them maybe being actually useful finally but they just got wiped out instantly. Hell, if they had just been able to help break some people free or something it would have been fine.

>>104586867
I squealed like a bitch when GATTAI

>>104586895
didn't their DTR thing destroyed the tower? just for Ragyo to activate the signal herself

>>104586991
Yeah but it was kind of underwhelming. They combine just to send it off as a missile and have it blow up the tower that Gama was probably going to blow up himself anyways.

>>104586895
They had to unnecessarily job to show how busted Ragyo's power level was but she was already so off the charts that it was hardly contestable. I agree with you; I wish they could have rescued some people while the elite 4 worked on the shield/device. Hell even fighting some covers in the background would have been ok with me.

>>104586631
I thought he could have been like Ryuuko's uncle or some shit
Like Ragyo was his sister
But nah they didn't push on that at all

>anime is called kill la kill
>nobody kills anyone

My biggest disappointment with the show. Anyone who actually does die just kills themselves.

While we're on people who could have been folded into other people, as much as I liked Iori and Inumuta (both designs were amazing) they could have made the research/info guy the developer as well and been able to focus developing one good background instead of two so-so backgrounds.

>>104585974

They really did not care about things outside of Ryuuko and Co.

Much potential lost there.

Ep. 5 showed us that he's collecting life fibers. For what reason? The show never told us (Was it to make the life fiber bullet?)

It was also told to us that he's attacking affiliated academies (To gather more life fiber? We don't know).

And of course there is THAT bullet which was never used.


Why all of this was never put to the show I wonder.

People are saying that Trigger scrapped Tsumugu after the 2 week hiatus but is that even possible?

How long do you need to write/animate/dub 1 whole anime episode. Doesn't it take like at least 10 weeks? If yes then the show was already done before the 2nd cour even started. I am throwing numbers out of my ass right now so somebody please correct me.

>>104587717
As far as him collecting life fibers I agree that probably could have used something of an explanation (maybe for the bullet, maybe just to destroy them, who knows)

As for:
>And of course there is THAT bullet which was never used.
I don't really think that is much of a problem. People like to clamor that this is a "plot-hole" when really it's not.

>>104587717
The whole show changed at Natural Elections or whatever, Ryuko was suddenly able to defeat the Four Devas one after the other (previously she was defeated by just one, just a couple of chapters back), and the dynamic of Nudist Beach changed instantly after, and the whole anime moved past just the academy, and the life fibers moved completely to the spotlight as the very antagonists. It was almost like the anime was being written by a completely different staff.

This show would do well with a TTGL treatment where it gets two movies that retell it slightly. Hell, some characters would probably benefit from it and the final battle with Ragyou most definitely would. The ending for KLK (the last two episodes) felt a bit rushed, so it would definitely be great to get the final battle expanded upon. Conversely with TTGL I felt the movies dragged it out a bit too much.

>>104585974

How many times did you repeat this scene, /a/?

>>104587969
The TTGL treatment is what killed Kill la Kill.

>>104587717
As much as I'd like to back you up with citations I just can't remember all of them right now... But I had heard about them scrapping the nudist beach storyline and trying to reign in back in after the hiatus. But here's the thing the anime itself had been written already; might not have been animated, but the story was done. HOWEVER with how many loose ends and inconsistencies there seem to be between the first half and second half there was an obvious editorial change. I just wish we could have seen the original product instead of how it tried to evolve with the audience. Triggers job was to entertain us not us tell them how to entertain us.

>>104587717
Will probably be used in the OVA against Nui.

Nui and Ryuko are the only ones with life fibers now.

Could anyone surprass the jobbing of Tsumugu

>>104588046
Where does this Nui bullshit come from? I see this in every thread. She is fucking dead, just like Ragyou.

>>104587939
I think possibly, as far as the writing goes, the earlier episodes were probably written in later during the overall story planning. They probably felt they needed to give a bit more of an introduction. The core conflict of the story didn't really arise till the reveal of Ragyou and Nui, possibly not even till Satsuki attempted her coup.

Tsumugu died somewhere after ep 17.
It is just better that way.

>>104587969
Ttgl was shit

>>104588012
That doesn't make any sense.

They were too old, the show was about youth rising up

>>104588018

I would really love some kind of an interview from them to know how it really was.
Or at least a decent source ,as of right now it's all speculating.

>>104588161
Wow. 12 whole threads. You must feel so oppressed.

Remember when Trigger lied and said there wouldn't be any wasted characters? What a shitty show. It's obvious they were writing this shit as they went along.

>>104588130
Now you understand the cancer that is nuifags

>>104588237
Tsumugu and Gamagori can not be that far apart in age.

>>104588018
Just wait for the remake in 2045. Or maybe they'll really do some movies some day which aren't just a recap with a few new scenes but something which is similar but different or more like the thing they originally planned.

>>104588316

Tsumugu was an adult when Ryuuko was a small child

He's 30 at least

>>104588209
>self-contained anime about Ryuuko seeking revenge for his father's death, with the weapons of choice being life fibers, there's a subgroup that's attempting to get rid of life fibers

vs

>over the top conflict about saving the world which is to be consumed whole by an over the top villain while the protagonist is constantly upgraded and upgraded to ludicrous levels until she is way past everybody else and they have a final battle which is dumb with a boring very evident outcome

>>104588182
If he died during the Satsuki rescue it would have been moving. Seeing a Nudist sacrifice himself for a former enemy for the greater good.

>>104588158
>the earlier episodes
The earlier episodes comprised half of the anime, though. The core conflict was introduced practically on the second cour.

>>104587590
Also remember that the miniscule (but still existant) amount of depth to Nui's character is completely lost unless you look into it very hard or learn from an outside source what she was meant to be.

And then there's Ragyo, who became the god emperor of clothes... somehow.

>>104588605
The earlier episodes were a very nice buildup to a big scale conflict, however it should have happened much earlier.
If they trashed the Raid Trip and put Satsuki's coup right there, in episode 14 instead, it would have been much better overall, with more time to properly show how the different characters flesh out and what exactly they're fighting. 10 episodes is a lot of time to do it well, as opposed to just 6 with 3 wasted on a nigh-pointless arc.

>>104588285
I didn't really feel there were any "wasted" characters. If we're going to compare this to TTGL, then KLK certainly did better in this regard. TTGL had loads side characters that had a few lines of dialogue that went absolutely nowhere. KLK at least had stronger characterization for most of them and kept its central characters and side characters far more relevant than TTGL; Ryuuko, Satsuki and Mako certainly, but also E4, Iori, NB and Mankanshokus (to a lesser extent). With TTGL though aside from Simon, Kamina, Nia, Yoko and (to a lesser extent) Kittan and Rossiu we didn't get much. Everyone else was just completely marginalized to background status.

Yeah, I didn't like that. Even in episode 5 it sounds like Aikuro and Tsumugu has higher ups then in episode 15 it turns out they are the higher ups. I don't even know what happened with 16 onwards but that was another issue I didn't like.

I mean on one hand I understood why ryuuko was raging but it's a trope I don't care for and it just gave rise to more shitposting and then on the other hand you have Nui who should've been dead in episode 22 from the perfect build up but nope, just have Houououououououmaru come and snatch her up and pretty much ruin the flow of the ending.

>>104588741
Devas and Nudists were wasted. They were completely non-entities for the most of second cour.

A-at least they destroyed the antenna

>>104588474

>>104588456
It is still not confirmed if the scene with his sister's death in Isshin's lab is immediately after Ryuuko was born. It could have been more recent.
He is probably in his early 20s, again, close to Gamagori's age.

>>104588772
And in episode 3 Aikuro was ready to jump in and save Ryuko from Satsuki, don't forget that.

>>104588806
What do you mean by TTGL treatment? The second part of TTGL was that, ludicrous upgrade after ludicrous upgrade leading to the ridiculous finale.

>>104588832
Woah, one of them got more developed and wasn't completely useless in the finale.
That's awesome.

>They were completely non-entities for the most of second cour.

Meanwhile in TTGL all the side characters died pointless deaths that were retconned in the second movie.

>>104588736
>however it should have happened much earlier.
That's what I'm saying. It was introduced so late, that it seems like a different team decided to rewrite everything.
It's ridiculous to think that a show that pats itself in the back for being fast-paced would take so long to develop the plot, especially when it isn't even a complicated one. Or maybe Trigger is that useless? I don't even know.

They just should have stuck with a simple formula of monster of the week + Ryuuko's revenge.
It's like "door-monster-treasure" in RPGs, it is basic but never fails.

Also ALIENS. Why does everything turn to shit every time aliens or introduced midway.

>>104588958
I meant that they weren't even the characters we got to know in the first part. They were just there for catchphrases and muh resolve.

>>104588736
I was okay with the Raid Trip honestly, it was an interesting twist in the sense that you actually find yourself rooting for the antagonists. It could have been shortened a bit though, maybe by taking some time out of ep13 (Ryuuko in her slump) and taking some time out from introducing the other academies and focusing more on Osaka. But I did feel that they let the Naturals Election drag a bit too long. Ep 8 and 9 could have probably been rolled into one episode, as for 10 and 11. Still, the Naturals Election did serve a good purpose of fleshing out the Devas and giving us some of their backstory and motivations. Also the entire Natuals Election arc gave us (strong) hints as to Satsuki's true motivations and goals, cluing us into the possibility that she and Ryuuko are not true enemies.

>>104589057
>I meant that they weren't even the characters we got to know in the first part.
Episodes 6, 8, and 9 says otherwise.

>>104588797
The Devas remained relevant throughout the second cour. NB did as well in terms of assisting the devas in battle as well as providing the base and Naked Sol. The only thing they flubbed on was having Tsumugu and Aikurou staying so weak in their souped up DTRs.

>>104589139
These episodes only prove that they were reduced to mindless machines compared to their earlier buildup.

>>104588736
I was wondering what episodes could be cut to make Kill la Kill better and it comes to the raid trip which is only relevant for nudist beach to do nothing and show Ryuuko is stronger without senketsu and 19-20 timeskip with Ryuuko storming off and timeskip and while I liked the battlefield trip it doesn't do too much.

>>104588958
Frankly, the only essential Deva was Gama. Inu could have been fused with Iori and the plot wouldn't have changed. Nonon and Sangeyama's plots went nowhere - as beloved as they were, they could have been written out. Nonon had a thing with Satsuki that wasn't properly expanded on, and Monkey's resolve ended up not mattering in the final fight

>>104588797
Devas were not wasted what so ever. Maybe your favorite Deva did not get the screen time you wanted but the 4 Devas together were written well and their end resolve at the end of the show left nothing un answered.

Trigger did a great job keeping them involved in the plot throughout the entire show.


Nudists were sloppy and thrown together compared to them when it comes to writing.

>>104589030
Trigger IS useless. What did we learn about the villains from the show alone?
What did we learn about Junketsu?
These are just two issues from a truckload.

>>104589198
To be fair I thought Monkey had some nice development. And when he finally revealed that his eyes were open in the finale it was very cathartic. I'm not even a Monkeyfag but it was a great moment.

Not really. I don't see how that;s any different. They just gave reason as to why each one of them had a reason to serve Satsuki which ultimately came together in episode 22 when they defended her against Ryuuko's punch.

>>104589213
Only one Deva's plotline moved anywhere. Other than that they were just there for some fight shots and occassional dialogue which amounted to nothing in the end.

>>104589167
>The Devas remained relevant throughout the second cour.
They remained relevant until the coup, then they became thoroughly unimportant, together with Satsuki.

>>104589294
And then he got condomed.

>>104588868
I pretty explicitly described what I meant by the TTGL treatment in my earlier post: i.e. remaking the series into two movies and expanding on segments that were underdeveloped in the main series.

>>104585974
>>104587717
>>104588772


I bet the original story is darker with some of 4deva is killed, then they realize this character more FUN than tsumugu.Trigger is trying to avoid TTGL route of killing favorite character, how many people will drop this show if gamagori got killed or mako ded?

It was a great moment - but it didn't answer the "So what?" question. He wasn't particularly useful in the final fight anyway. There would have been little difference if his eyes were still sealed. Maybe Ragyo isn't surprised for a half-second. Whoop-de-doo

>>104589311
All they did in the post-18 episodes was yell how loyal they are to Satsuki.

>>104589400
Opposite, actually. The story was apparently more lighter but then they made it darker in the second half

Who cares honestly? Junketsu was another Kamui manufactured by REVOCs for Satsuki to wear. Does it need any more elaboration?

>>104589390
>remaking the series into two movies and expanding on segments that were underdeveloped in the main series.
But they didn't do that they just simiplified the events, removed what little character development they were and retconned character deaths.

I didn't really have a problem with the aliens reveal. It didn't really change the arc of the conflict. If it wasn't aliens then it would have been some other explanation like magic or a scientific experiment gone wrong.

...which is no different from what they were in teh first cour. 6, 8, and 9 established why all of them are with Satsuki as well as give them backstory everything that came after were just reiterations of those and to prove that they weren't just all talk.

Yes. Did he have a will of his own? Was he just a tool? Who made him? Was he a Kiryuin heirloom or Isshin's prototype?

Remember when the OST came out and saved Christmas?
There were 2 songs that had not aired yet in the show. I want to know, and Till I die. People figured out "I want to know" but there were so many speculations on "Till I die"

So many people had thought it was a love song between RyuukoXfill-n-the-blank. Recall the scene when Trigger uses the song, then go listen to the track. The staff did a great job at writing the Devas.

>>104589629
In the first cour they seemed more like actual living people of their own, not Satsuki's meatshields and tools.

>>104589594
>It didn't really change the arc of the conflict.
Yes they did. It's like atom bombs suddenly becoming sentient and attempting to conquer the world in the middle of an armed conflict.

Planet-consuming alien lifeforms is such a baffling direction to take I still can't wrap my head around it.

Agreed. Second cour, while fun, was only fun because I watched it live with /a/. Going back to rewatch it later, I know I will hate the second cour. First cour was interesting and raised a lot of questions for the viewer, only to never answer them later. Plus, aliums.

>>104589647
>What makes them tick

>what made them do all this
Ragyo grew up following her family's philosophy that they held on to for over 400 years thanks to the influence of the OLF. The reason she's like that is because that's how she was raised. Nui is the same deal. Ishhin saved Satsuki and Ryuuko from the same fate as her mother and half sister.

>>104589189
Ep 4 didn't need to exist, despite it being very entertaining. Eps 8 and 9 could have been turned into a single episode. Eps 10 and 11 could have as well. Eps 13 - 15 (Senketsu getting torn up and the Raid Trip) could have been condensed into two episodes. I think cutting the Raid Trip out entirely would be a bit of a mistake though considering it helps to show how Ryuuko's motivations are changing. Also the Eps 21 and 22 could have been made into one episode.

Really though I wish this was a 26 ep + OVA series rather than 24 + OVA.

>>104589856
And where is that stated in the show?

>>104589707
>In the first cour they seemed more like actual living people of their own
Not really. Uzu had his episode though but the rest were all about Satsuki-sama first. You can argue that they were planning something with Inu given that he just willingly gave up his bout with Ryuuko in episode 9 and the fact that his past story made it seem like he didn't willingly follow Satsuki like the rest of the Devas.

>>104589919
So in the end all you have is implications and speculation.

>>104589848
It was actually made by Isshin, it is revelaed in a flashback when Isshin tells Satsuki that was going to be her wedding dress. Sorry, I remembered that just now.

>>104589856
>400 years in possession of the OLF

>>104589340
They rescued Satsuki from Honnouji with NB. They also, together with Satsuki, helped save Ryuuko from Junketsu. Then they continuously assisted Ryuuko and Satsuki throughout the final battle. They were never unimportant.

>>104587408
>still being a dense faggot who doesn´t know the title Kill la Kill is a pun

That doesn't mean he made it, just that he knew what it was for.

Episode 16 and episode 18

>>104589886
I didn't even know it was 24 episodes until 22, I thought it was 25 or 26 like you said the whole time

Maybe I remember wrong, but isn't there a discrepancy regarding the look change of Isshin? Correct me if I talk shit, but I am pretty damn sure that we saw a scene in which S?ichir? was "killed" by Hitler-kun and changed his look to Isshin after that - this happened when Ryuuko was still a baby. But in earlier episodes we see 5-year-old Satsuki who learns the truth from S?ichir? when he finally told her what her mother has done.

This doesn't make sense since Ryuuko was crealy a baby during that time or at least she wasn't four years old (one year younger than Satsuki) when he became Isshin. And even if she was four, then wouldn't she have wondered about the change of look of her father and would have remembered this change? And if this was the case that would mean that he already found her years ago and raised her? But if he knew Ryuuko was alive when Satsuki was 5 then why didn't he tell this to her after he said all the other stuff about her mother. Not to mention that he was only killed 6 months ago, but never tried to contact Satsuki anymore whom he tried to turn against Ragyou.

>>104589911
Episode 16 where Ragyo showed Satsuki the OLF and it's significance to the family and episode 18 detailing her backstory.

>>104589521
They expanded on a few aspects of the second half of TTGL with the second movie. The first movie they condensed more than anything though.

>>104589856
>They love life life fibers and believe them to be the next step in the evolution food chain.
Yeah, and how did they come to that conclusion? I mean, it's not an usual standpoint to have, sacrificing your life and whole race for another race to propser. There should be some kind of reason. And why was Ragyo so powerful and part-life fibers when just after that, she had to do a shitton experiment to emulate it again with her children?

>>104590053
He was the head of research, so he probably was pretty involved with it, come on dude, don't be so fucking dense.

Nope. All that's shown there is what Ragyo did and what she wants. WHY she wants that is only implied around 21 when she takes the yarn ball for a ride.
And there is still no answer to how she became a hybrid.

>>104590070
Yup, shitty writing.

He and the devas were at least more useful than NB and the DTRs...

>>104590070
In that scene you can see Ryuuko is just a little toddler, so it can be amused he kept her alive for a few years then finally decided to smuggle her out and raise her after he told Satsuki the truth

>>104590029
>They rescued Satsuki from Honnouji with NB
They brought a chopper to Honnouji while Raygo was distracted. Ironically, actually introducing the chopper into Honnouji was more of a NB feat. And hooray for saving the useless character.

I think Trigger just did more harm than good when it comes to these guys.
Trigger does an amazing job with creating likable characters and can sometimes spend a little too much effort reminding us they exist and we should like them.

But with only 24 episodes and a character base 20 strong it is just not possible for trigger to continue the main plot while writing resolves that all the well written characters deserve.

>>104590133
>Yeah, and how did they come to that conclusion?
Being fused with it and once again the tradition of the family and their teachings, you can even see it in her dialogue whether she goes on about how great it feels and how lowly humans are.

>>104590303
So they forgot how to do it by the time Satsuki and Ryuko were born?

>>104589687
I think they dropped the ball by not playing Till I Die at the end when Senketsu was burning up.

Is that something studios typically do with BD releases? Can they go back and amend parts of the soundtrack?

I haven't seen it mentioned but this little part of one of the biggest FUCK YEAH moments for me.

>>104590165
>Nope. All that's shown there is what Ragyo did and what she wants
What? In episode 16 it blatantly explains the significance of the OLF in the family, she is following the traditions of the family since that's how she was raised. It's not that fucking complicated.

>>104590215
Yeah but the problem is that this scene was after the killing attempt and during his transformation to Isshin. But he was still S?ichir? when he was telling the truth to Satsuki in earlier episodes.

Ep. 18 (I think it was 18):
Satsuki is 5 years old = S?ichir? is still S?ichir? (not Isshin).
Ep. 19:
Ryuuko is 0-1, Satsuki 1-2 years old: S?ichir? changes to Isshin.

However more backstory about her would have been nice.

>>104589729
But it doesn't make a difference because the enemy was Ragyou and life fibers all along. It doesn't matter whether the life fibers were aliens, or some other magical mcguffin.

>>104590400
Fine then, how did she become a hybrid?

>>104590303
>once again the tradition of the family and their teachings
I think you misunderstood it, SHE began those traditions and teachings.
>you can even see it in her dialogue whether she goes on about how great it feels and how lowly humans are.
But she's not life fiber.
She's only PART life-fiber, which means she'll probably be consumed by them for their expansion, just like Nui or Hououmaru.

ep 22.
The way they played the song it is by the Devas to Satsuki. Song never airs again after that

>>104590400
What? No dude, the 400 years was mistranslated if I'm not mistaken. It was Ragyo who first discovered the OLF, not her forefathers

>>104590357
Do what?
>>104590165
Rewatch the damn episodes. She explains how the OLF shaped the family for 400 years and she was just following their will. In episode 18 we're given another glimpse into this it's also the benchmark as to why Isshin betrayed her.

>>104590507
How to fuse with life fibers.

>>104590264
>Satsuki

Look, just because she isn't the MC (Ryuuko) doesn't mean she's useless.
By that argument every character that isn't MC for any story is "useless".

>>104590446
>I think you misunderstood it, SHE began those traditions and teachings.
Wrong. They've been in the family for 400 years.

>>104590500
Wasn't it translated as 200 instead of 20? At least that's how I remember it.

>>104590439
>But it doesn't make a difference because the enemy was Ragyou and life fibers all along.
Raygo wasn't really important to the plot. She was more like an enabler for Satsuki antics. The one who provided the bucks for Satsuki's research and uniforms. It was until after the trip that Raygo acquired importance. Yes, life fibers even changed the antagonist, if you haven't noticed yet.

>>104587717
Some people tried to explain it away with red herrings and shit, but if you look at things like >>104590403 it seems to become obvious that everything is just outright bad writing or even an direct contraction.

I think Daiz came out to admit the mistake immediately after the episode was released.

>>104590500
>>104590569
>>104590615
She said she was doing her role as the heir to the Kiryuuin family name. She said she was no longer human, but a life fiber monster. She didn't become that way because she really liked the life fibers or anything, she just did what her family and been waiting to do for 400 years.

>>104590404
I'm half expecting her to make a cameo appearance in the ep25 OVA. Maybe possibly even introducing a (very) minor conflict.

>>104590615
>>104590648
Something like that, underwater's commentary they say the 200 is supposed to be 20. 200 referring to the time Ragyo came in contact with the OLF.

>>104590725
Then what was even the point of making the life fiber hybrids?

>>104590444
Who cares?
Maybe her own parents hybridized her when she was born and died before they could tell her?

>>104590725
But then, how did she become a life fiber hybrid because of her "family traditions", but then had to conduct a shitton experiments to do it again for Ryuuko?

>>104590725

The only reason why we have all these "NB were useless all the time" and "Monkey didn't have his final moment/duel" is because there are no particular "FUCK YEAH" moments with them.

Ragyou was practically the conduit for the OLF's and Nui's actions in the first place. She's not the "enabler" for Satsuki antics, she and the OLF are *the* reason for them.
>Yes, life fibers even changed the antagonist, if you haven't noticed yet.
It was hinted at pretty early on that Satsuki and the Devas weren't the true threat. Hell, I think even since ep6 when Ragyou was first introduced. They just shifted some of the antagonists into the protagonist camp, but they never stopped Ragyou or Nui or OLF from being antagonists themselves.

The whole Kinue story doesn't make any sense on the hindsight. We don't even know when it happened, it doesn't add to the plot and they kept her identity and look a secret for like half of the series for- what? They could just have outright said who she is because she isn't related to anybody but Tsumugu. So he could have said that his sister was killed and explain his hate towards life fibers but instead they always talked about "that woman" and he cares way too much about a stranger like Ryuuko who is basically just a random schoolkid from his point of view. Which is why we all assumed that she was part of his family. Then the haircolors and the part when he heard Senketsu talk.

Nobody will ever convince me that they didn't mess up the plot and that this was planned from the very beginning.

It's called a catharsis, Kill la Kill had none.

>>104590893
How Ragyou got hybridized has nothing to do with plot coherence, and it's not important to the story. Revealing how it happened would amount to little more than background fluff.

>>104590392

I read your post after posting mine >>104591008 and I realised that they weren't actually THAT useless as everyone says. Kinda forgot about that part.
They also had the Naked Sun which was kinda cool.

>>104591108
They did.
If you rewatch the series it's fairly coherent and works very well up until episode 18, with raid trip being somewhat of a weak point.
Everything that happens afterwards seems like a patchwork of old ideas and new ones held by spit and duct tape.

>>104590972
and Senketsu's last words.

>>104591205
It has, because if she was a successful hybrid and it was family tradition then why did they have to research hybridization later?
It was never even mentioned whether she was just a fluke or not.

>>104591108
A Kamui needs to consume a human person in order to become sentient. The reason Tsumugu was able to hear Senketsu was because he was his sister

Do you think that it is possible that the "magic bullet" might be used to bring Senketsu back if the fibers are extracted out of it? Perhaps with Ryuuko's blood and some time (and more fibers from somewhere?) Senketsu could be brought back. Thoughts?

I wish that Gamagori and Sangeyama both had fights. I would have loved to see Nui vs Monkey, his sword looks so beastly and he only lost to Ryoku the first time because his suit couldn't handle himself. Also Gamagori should have got a new pink car.

Also in that episode where Satsuki asked monkey if he thought he snuck up on her twists I would have had him say yes the second time she asked.

Yeah. I was just wondering. I mean some minor things can go wrong but this was a pretty major plot point. They started showing those S?ichir? -Satsuki scenes since episode 3 and the last one of them was shown in episode 18. And just one episode later they show a whole scenes that contradicts the whole flashback stuff that was shown until then.

It seems like they aren't planning the plot together or like they don't proofread their stuff. I don't know how such a thing can even happen.

>>104591921
But would you be saying 22 was disapponting if Nui had died some other way in ep 24? Say for example, she didn't kill herself in some perverted state of ecstasy, but instead was humiliated and gutted by Ryuuko or someone else? Nui had been inflicting pain and suffering on Ryuuko since before she was even introduced as an official character, it was cathartic as fuck to see her get some dished back to her with her arms getting lopped off. With antagonists like that you don't want them to die quickly, you want to see them suffer for all the suffering they themselves had caused.

>A plot hole, or plothole is a gap or inconsistency in a storyline that goes against the flow of logic established by the story's plot, or constitutes a blatant omission of relevant information regarding the plot, sometimes even contradicting itself. These include such things as unlikely behaviour or actions of characters, illogical or impossible events, events happening for no apparent reason, or, statements or events that contradict earlier events in the storyline.
So tell me, how is it not a plot-hole?

>Literally no one fucking thought this before they revealed this in an interview
>After the fact some people actually pieced together some reasons why she's tragic but it doesn't come across well in the show at all.

Holy shit, this is terrible writing. You can obviously see why Ryuko is a tragic character, when they start turning Satsuki good you can see how she suffered as well. Trigger obviously wanted to make all 3 of Ragyou's daughters tragic characters but it doesn't come across that way in the show at all. There's no indication she secretly hates being allowed to do whatever she wants or that she's really jealous of Satsuki.

>>104592137
Because revealing how Ragyou was hybridized doesn't change the actual plot of the story and it introduces nothing new to the central conflict or plot of the story overall except maybe some background fluff. Revealing how it happened might, at most, give her character a bit more depth. That's it. Her being a hybrid doesn't contradict he trying to find out how to make hybrids, considering the obvious fact that she doesn't know how it happened to her in the first place.

so whatever happened to Nui anyways? did Ryuuko absorb her or some shit?

>>104592395
Basically, yes.
Nui got absorbed into OLF/barrier thing. OLF/barrier thing merged with SK and turned into a rocket. Senketsu absorbed everyone's goku uniforms and then absorbed SK/OLF/barrier thing. Then Senketsu burned up during re-entry ;_; so they're all dead.

This one is even more obvious. I mean, there could be an explanation that makes sense, but we don't have it.

It's not relevant information regarding the plot though.

>>104592046
I'm rewatching those parts again and I don't see the issue. Could just be I'm using HS

18: Satsuki says she was five when daddy told her
19: Ragyo says he entrusted his revenge to Satsuki then fled with Ryuuko. The little Ryuuko has hair that is not present in her newborn appearance in episode 18 when she is dumped.

It's not clear, you're right, but it's hardly what I would call ruined.

>>104592211
Here you have a slightly extreme interpretations of her actions with and without the word of god:

Without Nakashima's infodrop:
ep20 - Nui gives Ryuko a COME TO THE DARK SIDE speech, confusing her and making Junketsu rape possible
ep21 - Nui wants to join in on the funsies
ep22 - self explanatory, she fucking hates everyone and is mad that her plan failed and that she got disarmed
ep23 - Nui still mad, got augs, is Ragyo's lackey
ep24 - Nui goes all out mook mode and then Hoomarus herself into Shinra Koketsu, happy that she could become clothes.

With Nakashima's infodrop:
ep20 - Nui tries to "befriend" her soul sister in a completely wrong, sad and twisted way
ep21 - Nui doesn't want to lose her soul sister
ep22 - Nui gets mad that her soul sister brutally rejected her, quite probably wants to just stay there and die
ep23 - Nui melts away because of Ragyo's kindness, is still angry and bitter about Ryuko
ep24 - Nui fights for her mommy and makes her proud, finally feeling loved at the end of her life.

True, extreme. Those ideas were tossed around by Nuifags back when episodes 20-22 were airing, and only the Nakashima statemed pushed the dial from the first one being more likely to the second option being truth.
They did fucking awful job with her in the end.

>>104592565
>Was it really as simple as Ryuuko being part life-fiber
That wasn't even introduced as a thing at this point in the series. It was just to show that Senketsu has multiple banshi and that Nui wouldn't be able to destroy Senketsu as easily as she did Sanageyama's 3star.

>>104586724
Turns out that people and clothing actually were enemies. Thanks for nothing, Kinue.

>>104592130
But I mean 22 still could've done both.

Ryuuko could've just started cutting off limb by limb, mocking Nui as she did and causing Nui to turn into a much angrier Black Knight as she hopped about until there was nothing left, then have Hououmaru come with the suits but it's too late to save Nui so she flees and then nudisto beach and devas use the suction guns to save the club members.

>>104592823
Senketsu wasn't an enemy of people.

Where do you think he learned how to sew?
No wonder he doesn't want to talk about it.

>>104592570
Right after Ryuko and Satsuki made up in episode 22 Nakashima did an interview with Newtype where he revealed some shit, he said things like "Ryuko and Satsuki wanted to connect to each other before the sister reveal" but also something about Nui being a tragic villain who's jealous of the love Satsuki and Ryuko get from their mother.

Satsuki was Ragyou's heir, she got her mothers last name, Nui got a different name, her name essentially means "sewing machine" so that's all she is to Ragyou. She wanted to do something and be important to her mother, she couldn't wear Junketsu so she was upset about that. That's why she sacrificed herself so gleefully in the last episode, she was finally incredibly useful to her mother, she saved her life and kept the plan going. She was taught by Ragyou to think herself as better than humans so she probably felt alienated. When she said to Ryuko that she was the only one who could understand her, apparently she wasn't trying to make Ryuko upset by comparing herself to her, she was serious and wanted to connect with Ryuko because they were both the same thing. Hell she probably also hated the fact that Satsuki started gushing over Ryuko as soon as she was revealed to be her sister yet never treated her as anything other than shit even though they're the exact same thing.

Then again this all fanfiction and guesses, really. We don't know what Satsuki's relationship with Nui was prior to this, so you can't exactly fault her for anything and you don't even know if Nui is upset about that shit.

>>104592668
>>she doesn't know how it happened to her in the first place.
So it just happenned? Fuck the human rejection of Life Fibers? Wow, great writing.
But that's just your headcanon. There is nothing to indicate that she doesn't know it.

So here we go, Nudisto Shafted Character wall of fame:

First place: Nui for clusterfuck arrested development and straight out needing to know what the author had in mind to understand her character.

First place ex-aequo: Junketsu for not even being a character after all.

Second place: Rei. She (maybe) died as she lived, completely irrelevant.

Third place: Tsumugu, for anti-life fiber blunder of the century, pointless infodrop, unknown debt and endless jobbing.

Fourth place: Satsuki for proving her mother right in the finale.

Fifth place: Aikuro for who the fuck are you anyway and DTR extravaganza.

Sixth place: non-Gama devas, for being completely fucking useless since episode 18 and devolving into resolve robots for reasons unknown. Honorable mention to Uzu for jobbing to a fucking condom.

Seventh place: Ragyo, for never explaining how the fuck she became the god empress of clothing.

Audience Award goes to Takarada for literally getting shafted with a 10 foot long stick.

Honourable Mentions: Life Fiber Bullet, Kinue, Life Fibers in General, All of Nudist Beach, Maiko, Characters not name Ryuko or Mako.

This is fucked up and bothers me a lot.

Why couldn't they just take a moment to come right out and say this stuff, instead of making us piece it together like a detective, having to even resort to material outside the show itself.

I think some people might not have sperged out so bad over Nui had they known this information.

>>104592717
I don't know, the only explanation would be that Ryuuko was already 4 (and therefore, Satsuki 5) in the scenes of episode 19, since Soichirou hadn't changed his body yet when Satsuki was 5. But this can't be due to Ryuuko's look (she is 1-2 years old at best), the fact that she didn't remember how her father suddently changed and became a 70 year old guy and the fact that he never told Satsuki anything about her sister being alive, even though he was already raising her for 4 years during that scene.

>>104593220
And it was all completely unnecessary in the end. They could have kept her as Ragyo lite cartoon psycho instead of adding this little amount of depth to her, especially since the show wasn't able to carry it in any way.

>>104593108
It really was something we should have seen. Ragyou and Nui should have probably been introduced earlier so we could get a proper backstory on them, you start turning Satsuki in to a good guy earlier so you can fill in these relationships they had with Satsuki a little better, or in Nui's case, fill it out at a fucking all.

If you have to reveal that a character is "tragic" in an interview and then have people go back and try find cryptic reasons as to why that is that's terrible writing.

>>104593003
There were some hints of Nui's jealousy towards Satsuki, and Ryuuko to an extent. Nui did also state how she wanted to connect with Ryuuko in ep20 or 21 (don't remember which specifically). Nui was never sympathetic though, so maybe that could be considered a failing. Personally I don't really consider it much of a failing other than maybe giving Nui some more depth. They made her into an effective villain that you love to hate.

Where is Ragyo talking about her family(s traditions in ep 18? I can't find it.

>>104593270
I think Ryuuko says she never saw her father until she was a little older, or that she rarely saw him because he was busy and I think the sister thing is touched on a bit in 19 when Ragyo mocks Satsuki saying how she was used to do his dirty work without even knowing the wole story.

>>104593038
>There is nothing to indicate that she doesn't know it.
That's why she's conducting research on how to recreate it right? And why her experiments even failed with Satsuki? Because she already knows how to do it?

But there is; the very fact that she's conducting the research in the first place. She never talked about it because it wasn't important to the story. What is important to the story is that Ryuuko was hybridized by Ragyou's experiments and she was kept secret by her father.

Exactly what I thought, Inu was such a pointless character that never did fucking anything (other than exposition dump), just have one "smart" guy doing all the stuff they both do

>>104593427
>Nui did also state how she wanted to connect with Ryuuko in ep20 or 21

Nui's prior characterization was that she liked to fuck with people, remember when she gleefully told Ryuko "TEEHEE, I KILLED YOUR DAD RYUKO-CHAN". You could easily take that "I'm the only one who can understand you, you're just like me!" as a way to make Ryuko angry because Nui would obviously know that Ryuko fucking hates her and would not want to be compared to her at all. Ryuko thinks she's a monster at that time, she would NOT want to be compared to Nui.

>>104593722
>most people hated her for shallow reasons, like her appearance and personality.
>Not her actions.
What?
People would still hate her if she looked completely different. The hatred towards her appearance and personality stem from that original hatred of the characters actions in a sort of post hoc manner. You look for other secondary reasons to hate a character even more after it's been established how fucked up they are through their actions.

It was a legendary show in the making until the clumsy Mako episode and tournament. The first and second episodes were by far the best ones, in my opinion.

>>104593760
So it's not important to know how Ragyo became part Life Fiber while it wasn't possible because the natural rejection of Life Fibers and thus got her philosophy and the power to become the main villain of the show? Even if she doesn't know how it happened, it deserves a mention. It's way too important to forget because of what I mentioned earlier in this post.

>>104587939

I can agree to an extent that those hints of jealousy weren't incredibly overt or apparent. Nui is a rather distracting character to begin with anyways and her absurdly bubbly personality lends itself to a lot of masking of any sort of deeper emotion.

>>104593974
If you feel it would add more depth to her character then I would probably agree. Do I think it's necessary? No. Would I have liked to see something revealed in that regard? I don't really care either way honestly.

I would not be surprised to find out that the people who hate Nui probably have Ryuko as their favorite character in this show, Nui caused their character to suffer more than she already was before, Nui killed her dad like 5 minutes before Ryuko might have had a possible reconciliation with him. If you wonder why Ryuko became so attached to Satsuki in a matter of like 2 days that's why, she finally found family and isn't letting her go. other than the father killing she really fucked with Ryuko in other ways as well, even IF Nui supposedly was not trying to do those things out of direct malice and simply just did not know how to properly handle the situation.

>The parts where Ryuko is brainwashed

What the fuck, Trigger. You dropped the fucking ball with this shit.

>>104593491
Not him and maybe she really doesn't know but this is still stupid. If even Satsuki couldn't fuse with the LF because she was one year old (even Ryuuko was a failed experiment at first) then how is it possible that it happened to Ragyou? I think explaining how the evil mastermind managed to become who he is is a pretty important plot point. This show is full of scenes nobody needs that felt like open subplots but then they don't explain something as important as this.

>>104594128
>Do I think it's necessary? No.

>Nui's prior characterization was that she liked to fuck with people
Right. I'm not denying that. She did state it however, but given the fact that the way Nui's character was handled she was never a character that demanded sympathy in the first place. I'm basically saying that Nui threw that information out there, not that her revealing those emotions would actually make any of us (the audience) nor any of the main characters actually give a shit about her own tragedy.

I can see how Nui could be considered a tragic villain in the loosest sense of the word, but like I said, her actions and personality don't really lend themselves to sympathy.

>>104586631
Kill la Kill had much more wasted potential that Gurren Lagann though.

Gurren Lagann beat in and built up the whole drill metaphor for the entire show, whereas KLK had something about clothes which wasn't really developed.

Gurren Lagann built up the final villain, and gave us a satisfying final battle, and left half of the final episode for wrapping things up. KLK kept trying to surprise us with "THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM", and had 30 seconds to wrap things up at the end. Hell, the epilogue was in the credits.

>>104594213
Nui's tragicness as a general idea was not that horrible, but it got assfucked by the way Nui was introduced and her subsequent appearances, and by the way that in the end it was not shaped properly.

and that's exactly why Trigger dropped the ball with her and she's poorly written, because she was supposed to. You were likely intended to sympathize with Nui when she sacrificed herself for Ragyou, she used a deeply affectionate word for mother when she did it, too. Trigger likely intended you to think "oh my god that's sad" instead people thought "oh, she's speaking french again".

>>104594387

For fucks sake and for the thousandth time, revealing how it happened to Ragyou wouldn't fill in any plot-holes nor would it make the plot make any more sense because the plot doesn't demand that we know in the first place. Us not knowing how it happened to Ragyou doesn't change anything regarding to the plot, it would only introduce some background information and give her character a bit more depth. You can keep crying that this is a "plot-hole" till you're blue in the face, but it doesn't change the simple fact that it's simply not a plot-hole.

The Mako episode was really well produced and cool. It had good gags too. I would place it in my top 5 too. However, I meant that it was clumsy in how it handled her family's betrayal. That's what I think, at least.

You are right that the shift of tone came at 8 and forward and it's like they pissed away a bunch of time until the New Year with Nui crashing the tournament.

People are right about Nudist Beach too. They served little purpose in the end. And Nui was just some psychopath there to provoke the heroines and act frustrated when stuff happened. And Ragyo started rambling about the demise of the universe at the finale when she should have done so 10 episodes earlier.

KLK had lots of fun moments and the highest potential I've ever seen. KLK episode 1 & 2 are probably some of the best episodes I've seen in any show, hands down. It's frustrating.

_IF_ you knew what she was after and went deeper and deeper, it was a very sad scene overall.
However, almost nobody gave enough fucks to piece the hints together.

>>104594335
Well, they got rid of a few bad things from TTGL like the throw-away characters so maybe they'll improve the writing as well the next time.

>>104591781
well, everyone was waiting for giant gakuen kamui/mecha and final cross-cut, so trigger just won't even thinking about it, cause why use obvious ways

>>104594630
I did read it. You keep crying about how it's a plot-hole when it's not. I think maybe you should follow your own advice.

>>104594651
I meant, for the most part. They dropped it somewhere around 23 with the whole NONSENSE shit took hold. It was a great phrase and worked very well in 22, but in 23 and finale it was incredibly wank.

>>104594714
I gave you the definition of plothole. It's relevant information regarding the plot that was blantantly omitted. This is a plothole.

>>104594687
>However, almost nobody gave enough fucks to piece the hints together.
But you can't blame them, and it's not even that, it's just poor writing overall because the ONLY reason people really tried to piece this hints together was because Trigger came out and told us what their intention for Nui.

It's very unlikely that the people who watch this show after the fact and not while it was airing originally will read that interview and thus what Trigger tried to get across with Nui won't come across at all.

>>104594800
> It's relevant information regarding the plot that was blantantly omitted.
Except for the part where it's clearly not.

>>104590453
Yes it does, Till I Die also plays when Ryuko and Senketsu are eating away from the crowd in episode 22.

>>104594809
Nah, that was tossed around as "what if she was sincere?" by Nuifags as early as episode 20 or so.
However, by that time it was just speculation.

>>104594677
I'll give you one, but two? It felt more like a repeat of one, which I guess yeah still makes it good but takes a the charm out. I still like it though, but I wouldn't say best.

>>104589318

It's ridiculous how little dialogue they even have. Almost all of it is meaningless plot or fight exposition, nothing about their characters, and maybe one or two lines of banter if we're lucky. They barely feel like people, especially in the second half.

Uzu's shit that was thrown away immediately after the natural elections, and then he became just a generic goon to fight things, really.
Inu who is incredibly fucking boring and never does anything at all. The most important thing he ever did was sit in with NB's for the exposition dumps.
Nonon who repeats that Monkey shit a dozen times because they can't think up any other banter. We know barely anything about her, other than that childhood friends thing which could've been used in a major way for actual development, but it was just thrown away in one or two lines (inb4 that screencap)
Aikurou is pretty much NOTHING but exposition dump after exposition dump in the second half. They distract the audience with shining nipples, but he does literally nothing else. They tried that DTR joke like twice but good god, do something fucking more, Trigger.
And then there's Tsomugu, who never does or says anything at all, even after his huge fucking buildup. They don't even give him any jokes, they could've at least had him say that "2 important things" or whatever the shit in the last episodes.

I would've loved to see an episode of the Devas just going about their daily business with their clubs and training and actually talking to each other, instead most first half scenes were just just sitting silently in that room matsurbating to their resolve for Satsuki, and second half scenes were just fights.

Final edit when?

>>104594847
Then I guess Ryuuko's backstory about how she got part Life Fiber also isn't revelant, right?

They were trying to make Nui tragic? I never noticed. She was always an unapologetic psycho bitch who loved to toy with people's emotions before brutally murdering them. She got even worse near the end, when she completely snapped and just started swinging her new sword arms at whoever was in reach, before chopping her own head off and becoming a giant creepy Life Fiber head that fused with her "maman" in the creepiest way possible.

>>104595092
It is actually, considering it's required information in order to explain how the conflict is resolved.

>>104594898
But that's the thing, that's just speculation by the people who were infatuated with the character anyways, if she's supposed to be tragic that should come across to ALL the viewers, it shouldn't just be spit balling by people who are solely big fans of the character.

>>104591304

This is what I actually thought. That his sister or wife or mother got turned into a kamui/went berserk during an experiment because she got too attached or something.

>>104595080
Since episode 23 took up two vertical slots, I propose that episode 24 take up three horizontal slots, and just be the four guys added to the conga line of naked people catching Ryuko.

Aikuro was busy boning Nonon and Sukuyo after the time skip.

I agree. I fucking loved the Deva novel but I wish they would have included this shit into the actual anime. It's similar with Nui. Someone who watches KlK later won't ever read or find this specific old Newtype issue that contained their whole backstories. I don't say they had to show everything, but we had so many repetitive scenes in this series - why couldn't they just hint some of these things?

>>104595103
That's because they absolutely fucked it up.

I wanted to see one of those nameless 1 stars be a proper character.

this was my one problem with the series

It looks like they just wrote it as they went along. Not enoughplanning

>>104595533
First cour looks pretty well thought of, actually.

So uh..why did Ragyou live through Ryuko and Satsuki's combo attack exactly?

>>104592743

Jesus, that was really badly expressed in the show. I don't want to feel like an idiot by missing subtext, but did anyone else get that? She did say she felt jealous in 22 I think, but they didn't do anything else with that in the next two or I guess they tried.

>>104595571
Not the same anon but I feel the opposite actually. First cour took up a bit too much time without much in terms of plot advancement. As a result second cour didn't feel like it had enough time to unfold.

>>104595585
Because the finale was going to be in space anyway and that scene felt nice.

>>104593088

You say everything I wanted to say

>>104588182
>Tsumugu died on the way back to his home planet

>>104595675
I meant when it comes down to characterization and worldbuilding. They could compress it more, they could remove filler episodes and maybe even trash the school trip to make room for 2nd cour to make sense.
But they didn't.

>>104595162
Not him but if it's important to explain why something is resolved it's also important to explain how the problem even started in the first place.
Not only that, we learn that humans can't mix with LF unless they are using newborn babies as guinea pigs and still Ragyou was a LF human. Of course they should explain this.
