The dust settled months ago.

We've agreed that it started out strong but lost it's way around episode 15, then turned to shit with relatively few good moments, such as pic related.

It didn't save anime, but it also wasn't shit. Just average, and therefore very, very disappointing.

>>109068581
After Satsuki rebellion episodes? Kinda.

>>109068581
Nope.

>>109068581
It's a good break from cute girls doing cute things and harems at the very least

>>109068660
>We've agreed
Stopped reading there

>>109068833
I admit that was a poor choice of words.

>>109068581
All I remember is the /a/ poll with the average being 7/10, and many 1/10 & 9-10/10 votes.

>>109068581
KLK saved winter, though it couldn't keep up with the fall competition.

>>109068909
>& 9-10/10 votes
I guarantee those were only due to the hype at the time. If you had everyone take that poll again, most would rate the show 7 and under, with 7 being the minority. Very few 8's or 9's. Virtually no 10's.

>>109068909
I'd say six personally. Had a few laughs but overall it's forgettable.

>>109068994
The opposite applies with the 1/10 votes, so fuck off with your predictions.

I think we expected too much from it, to be honest. From this, we ended up overhyping it and telling ourselves that it was going to AOTY, so when it was anything but, it was shit. This doesn't really make up for how they screwed the pooch on the last half, however, but rather puts into context why everyone thought it was so bad.

>>109068994
very important breakdown, thanks.

i kindaliked it, but at some point it went "aliums" and then all those other things happening, i think they lost their way

>>109069049
>I think we expected too much from it
That's because the show was actually pretty good in the beginning, and would have been a possible AOTY contender if they kept with the feeling of the first half. So of course people are going to rate it more harshly. Wasted potential is worse than no potential.

>>109068581
nah

>>109068909
Are you talking about this? The average is closer to 8 than 7.

That was taken immediately after the finale. The hype was still strong. Hell, people hadn't even figured out why the ending sucked yet.

Kill la Kill

Overall rating; 8/10

Virtues:
- Excellent soundtrack
- Multiple characters with agency
- Overall good animation
- some very well written lines ("ask not the sparrow how the eagle soars" ; "[the sword] fresh from your father's body")
- subjectively entertaining with rewatch value
- subjectively contains best girl tier girls

Drawbacks:
- Overall plot could have been better connected
- subjective irritants (Mako in particular)
- Fanbase

n.b.: A show does not need to be life changing to be good.

It had potential to be a5 or 6/10, but after episode 8, shit went downhill. The series ended as a 3/10

>>109069834

What is la kill and why must we kill it?

>>109069963
>I haven't even seen either.
Probably because Shit la Shit is the only anime you've seen.

>Now that the dust has settled
Are you the same person each season or has anon just taken up the mantle from another each time?

>>109069918
I agree, it was pretty weak for a blockbuster. When I think about this I gave Madoka 7.5/10, Fate/Zero 6/10 and Steins;Gate 7/10, but Kill la Kill was just so much worse. Kill la Kill really doesn't deserve more than 6/10, but it's clearly worse than Fate/Zero.

It was really entertaining and generally likeable in spite of going off the damn rails in the second half. In a world of anime that's actually genuinely terrible the stupid hot blooded action shows that at least have some heart to them are all I can muster a fuck about anymore.

>>109069887
All four of the main characters have agency, just because Satsuki doesn't beat up enough bullies doesn't mean she didn't have agency.

>>109070043
You have shit taste anyways.

>>109070239
>Mako
>agency
So it's just Ryuuko and her talking shirt?

>>109068581
It had potential. Characters were entertaining and things were safe, but there was an enthusiasm to it that I enjoyed.

Then it fell to shit because they loaded the last ~6 episodes with all kinds of dumb shit and dropped THE BULLET, NB, and a bunch of other shit.

>>109070350
>dropped THE BULLET,

Honestly the stupidest fucking complaint that people have with this show. Do people just not get that it was really just used to show that Aikurou cared about Ryuko? After that there was no opportunity for them to fire it, the bullet served its purpose, it didn't need to actually hit anything to do that.

Should have had grotesque amounts of actual nudity, probably wouldn't rewatch.

I cannot physically wrap my mind around people who've said they've rewatched KLK 4 times. Does that from start to end 4 times, or watched the new episode as it airs four times over the week? The second sounds more plausible since I'd consider it a serious slogfest to try to rewatch an entire 24 episode show so soon, let alone several fucking times, even if it's one I enjoyed.

>>109070429
No, anon, it didn't match their headcanon so it's shit.

>>109068581

It was off to a good start then shat the bed during the second half

>>109070349
Mako has agency, she has too much agency. She should give some of it for the rest of the cast, since she really doesn't need it.

>>109070429
>Honestly the stupidest fucking complaint that people have with this show.
Too bad Trigger disagrees with you. They capitulated and they're firing it in the Drama CD.

>>109068581
Yes, but that doesn't make you any less of a faggot OP.

>>109070460
>I cannot physically wrap my mind around people who've said they've rewatched KLK 4 times.
There are people on this planet who have a fetish for eating shit. It's not that hard to fathom.

>>109070584
>Mako has agency, she has too much agency.
Probably because she was Trigger's shitty little waifu. Seriously, they should have just killed her off.

>>109068581
I enjoyed it, it had some problems but I still liked it and look back on it fondly. I could see how some people would dislike it, though.

I think it suffered because actually bought in to /a/'s hype and expected things that were never going to happen. People always talk about how it was fun to watch with /a/ but a lot of these discussions led to people convincing themselves of certain things and then they blamed Trigger when some of these things didn't happen. I've seen people who have watched it after its airing date and they didn't really have any of those problems some people seem to have with it, which I don't find surprising.

>>109070460
>I cannot physically wrap my mind around people who've said they've rewatched KLK 4 times

It's the Code Geass effect, bunch of newshits watch a hyped up anime with /a/ then decide to hail it as the next coming of Jesus

Is there an actual source for that?

>>109070782
>I've seen people who have watched it after its airing date and they didn't really have any of those problems some people seem to have with it, which I don't find surprising.
Maybe those people just have shit taste and don't watch much anime?

No, there are plenty of "problems" I've seen people claim KLK has that are just really fucking stupid and only exist because they bought in to some hype that the discussions on /a/ led them to believe in.

The show most certainly has legitimate problems, "it didn't meet my fanfiction that I made up with /a/" isn't really a legitimate problem, though.

People were expecting grimderp serious shit and they hate it because KLK turned out to be a Saturday morning cartoon romp (and it always was that way from the very start, which is why I love it).

Inferno Cop is better animated than Kill la Kill

>>109071177
>and relevance from it's supporting cast.

Ryuko doesn't really start doing anything that makes the side characters look bad until Episode 23, and even IN that episode the Deva's get a cool scene.

Tsumugu I can see, but I don't see how people are legitimately angry with the way the Devas were handled, I mean shit are people seriously mad at what happened to Uzu in the final episode? He's a side character that has been used for comedic shots in the past, in the previous episode he gets a really cool scene with the final antagonist.

>>109069628
>Multiple characters with agency

That was the illusion the Devas gave, but in the end, it barely accomplished anything. Inu and Monkey had potential, being Gama the only one with any lick of relevance (basically just a cool scene) sadly, only thanks to Mako.

Anyway only Ryuko, Satsuki, Aikuro and Tsumugu (until Aikuro went ALIENS and became a joke) are the ones with actual "agency".

>Overall good animation.

Only the entirety of the first cour (ep 4 being the exception for obvious reasons) and possibly the fight in ep.15.

>>109071318
>the side characters

That's one of the problems, the Deva were just shoved to the side in the 2nd cour. Sanageyama had a whole episode to himself in the first part of the show. These characters were being developed in earnest, seeing them just thrown to the side was weird.

The main themes also went full shitzo, while in the first half they kept emphasizing the belif that people and clothing can live together in the second half they just exterminate the Life-Fibers.

>>109071609
>That's one of the problems, the Deva were just shoved to the side in the 2nd cour.
That happened to literally every character other than Ryuuko and Senketsu.

>>109068581
I liked that it was a much more personal character driven story than the initial fake premise of monster of the week revenge action anime led it on to believe. The dynamic between Ryuko and Senketsu that forms the heart of the show is super interesting; the way Satsuki contrasts against them, and how she's portrayed as someone in the middle with the actual badguys on the other end rather than a villain who becomes befriended I thought was also done well, which is the other big part of the show. The art direction and sound direction is top notch, the entire cast of Seiyuu are seriously the best. And partially because of that, all the characters are really iconic and memorable to me, even if not all of them are treated fairly.

Which brings me to stuff I didn't like, even considering they're side characters there's a disproportion of the amount of time and development given to most of them, only the mains and a few choice side characters (i.e. Gamagoori) are well done. It's sort of a double edge sword, because a lot of iconic interesting characters are cannibalized for the sake of the story. And while the aforementioned character relationships are super well done, the actual story is rushed and flaccid. For as great as the artstyle is, the action and animation in general is super subpar, and while the core of the show is character driven, it still forces on the appearance of an action show despite all the action being purely nonsensical fluff that becomes terribly animated by the second half. And the ending sucks.

Overall, what I like about Kill La Kill I love, and what I hate about it doesn't bother me nearly as much as it should because of what I love. Subjectively I think it's great, but I can totally see why someone would think it's shit.

>>109071668
Yeah, that's one of the biggest problems with the second cour.

>>109071679
Stop using the word iconic, none of the characters are close to being iconic

>>109071679
So you basically just called it shit, even if you did like it. Everything you enjoyed is contested and cannibalized by something terrible to the point where there are very few aspects of the show that remain consistently good until the end.

>>109071609
>the Deva were just shoved to the side in the 2nd cour.

Uh, they were always there, though. I personally never got the impression that they were important characters like Ryuko, Senketsu, Satsuki and Mako were. To me it just sounds like you would have personally preferred if the series revolved around them and Satsuki instead of Ryuko and Senketsu.

In regards to relevancy characters like Satsuki are pretty much the only ones relevant towards the end game goal until Episode 22, since before that Ryuko is either being manipulated by Satsuki or being saved by her. To me it seems like the people who expected much more out of the other characters besides Ryuko didn't really want Ryuko to do very much in the final stretch at all.

>>109071909
>Satsuki and Mako
>important

>>109071942
Less so than Ryuko and Senketsu, but more so than every other character.

>>109071909
>In regards to relevancy characters like Satsuki are pretty much the only ones relevant towards the end game goal until Episode 22
So you admit that one of the most important character, arguably the 2nd most important, is completely left out of the most important event in the entire show, which she pretty much started?

That's not good. That's a shitty way to manage your characters. Regardless of what happened before.

>>109071909
>I personally never got the impression that they were important characters
>literally get whole episodes dedicated to them
>not important

Wat?

Adding to that Ryuuko was a boring as fuck MC and 90% of her motivation is based on her being pissed off at one thing or the other.

Juxtaposed with a fight they were having with Ryuko in that particular episode. The scenes you're talking about really don't account for much of anything other than a bit of a background check on them and showing you their reasons for following Satsuki, I think you're exaggerating how important they are because you liked them and obviously have a bit of a distaste for Ryuko.

>>109072222
>I think you're exaggerating how important they are because you liked them and obviously have a bit of a distaste for Ryuko.
And I think you're doing the exact opposite because of vice versa.

>>109072222
>Juxtaposed with a fight they were having with Ryuko in that particular episode

Lol no, Sanageyama, Gamagori and Tsumugu got their own episodes with minimal Ryuuko in them. I am not talking about the tournament

>>109072068
Satsuki basically sets up the setting that Ryuko is in and Mako is an incredibly important character to the protagonist. The Deva's typically don't serve much use at all, just the odd comedic or "cool" scene.

>>109072020
That's not how it works. Side Characters can get episodes dedicated to them, you have to remember that those episodes directly influence the main characters.

I really like the main characters of Kill La Kill, especially Ryuko, but KLK falls apart if the less you care about her and the others. I don't know if you can call it a failure, but that's probably what it all comes down to. You either like the MC or you don't, and it's do or die for the whole show.

Captcha: trigger noteva

>>109072275
>Gamagori and Tsumugu got their own episodes with minimal Ryuuko in them
And weren't those some of the best episodes? In fact, any episode with minimal Ryuuko in it was pretty good.

>>109072313
>I really like the main characters of Kill La Kill
There's only one. Unless you're talking about the talking shirt? And even then he's her #1 fanboy.

>You either like the MC or you don't, and it's do or die for the whole show.
This I can agree with. Too bad Ryuuko's a boring piece of shit for 90% of the show, and an annoying piece of shit for the other 10%.

>>109072313
>You either like the MC or you don't, and it's do or die for the whole show.

Um how about NO. Ryuuko's whole motivation to do anything is being pissed off at something because of REASONS. The rest of the cast at least have proper motivations. Fucking Takarada was a better character then Ryuuko.

>>109071909
>o me it just sounds like you would have personally preferred if the series revolved around them and Satsuki instead of Ryuko and Senketsu.

Not the same guy, but they shouldn't have bothered to give the Devas the attention and detail they got in the first cour in the first place, especially IF the series revolved around Ryuko and Senketsu's relationship.

They should have stayed in the same level as the Beastman of TTGL and focus more on the main characters then.

But, hey, it didn't happen. So I have to agree with that anon, not in that the show should have revolved around them, but to not shove them aside (along with Aikuro and Tsumugu) like they did. And I'm talking about Uzu, Inu and Nonon. Gama barely got some sort of free card due to shipping pandering.

>>109072222
Monkey got better executed character development in his single episode than the MC did in whole show.

Then the second cour throughs it all out the window because only the MC can important now.

Mako gets her own epsode in the first cour, and she actually learns something and develops as a result.
In the second cour she is flanderized version of herself and forgets everything she got from the 1st cour

My analysis concludes that it has serious flaws. In my personal opinion, those flaws don't ruin the show. I don't feel guilty liking KLK, I forgive it's failings because I think it succeeded elsewhere.

So I feel like this is probably the best place to post this

>>109072256
I like the Deva's, though.

>>109072275
>Sanageyama, Gamagori

Those two devas were frequently made to look like the most important ones, though. Getting extended scenes against antagonists and getting flashy scenes like Uzu's scene in Episode 23 and Gamagori's in Episode 24.

Tsumugu was an odd character, though. But I don't think the Devas were really all that mishandled.

>>109072441
>Not the same guy, but they shouldn't have bothered to give the Devas the attention and detail they got in the first cour in the first place, especially IF the series revolved around Ryuko and Senketsu's relationship.
Shit, if we're going down that path we should just have the show take place in a vacuum with Ryuuko and Senketsu as the sole characters. Because that's basically what Trigger did in the end.

It's like somebody was actually trying to write a cohesive interesting story and Imaishi kept demanding more dick jokes and flash entrance scenes

I'd rate KlK:
Objectively 7/10
Subjectively 9/10

I realize it's not very special and it handled several plot-points badly but it was style-over-substance all along and it's hard to overstate how much fun I've had watching it while it aired.
The characters are stellar, the animation is obviously re-used and cheap at times but almost always charismatic with an interesting artstyle.
I've since rewatched it once and still liked it, especially characters like Mako benefit from not waiting a week for each episode since you won't see her as a "time stealing" nuisance.

What can I say, I'm a Trigger fanboy.

>>109072674
>What can I say, I'm a Trigger fanboy.
How? They've barely done anything.

>>109072441
>Not the same guy, but they shouldn't have bothered to give the Devas the attention and detail they got in the first cour in the first place

The only ones who really got that much attention were Sanageyama and Gamagori and they were the ones given the most time in the second cour as a result. I mean you talk about Gamagori looking good but Uzu is the one who gets to engage Nui first and he also gets a scene where he surprises the final antagonist 5 episodes later. But it's like people forget that because he was made to look a little silly in the final episode.

>>109072674
>I realize it's not very special and it handled several plot-points badly

It's still exceptional and had an original storyboard that simply fell flat in some aspects.
Characters were miles above most of the shit we see in Anime nowadays and while the animation IS re-used and cheap, they tried to use the budget in ways so many scenes benefit.
Then there's ways of reusing animation such as ep3-ep15 where it seems more like a showcase of progression as well.
The animation is weak FPS wise but the general art direction oozes creativity and the backgrounds are beautiful.

>I'd rate KLK 8/10.
Where the fuck do you people come from? 8/10 means its a fucking masterpiece, 9/10 and 10/10 is something a TV anime can't even reach and it's reserved for movies and OVA

If you rate KLK 8/10 how the fuck would you rate Jin-Roh, EoE, Millennium Actress and similar. Are the 17/10?

>>109073086
Might be funny, but I don't see how that makes the show better.

I think it's like someone said earlier that the enjoyment of Kill La Kill really depends on how much you like Ryuko. If you like Ryuko you'll like the show, if you absolutely hate Ryuko you're not going to like the show.

>>109073186
You have a strange rating scale.

Who the fuck cares what kind of number people give things anyways?

>>109073199
If Ryuuko was so important, why didn't Trigger not make her a stupid retard?

>>109073069
>It's still exceptional

No it's fucking not, it's a generic shonen, riding on the coattails of Gainax

For fucks sake it was marketed as "The new anime from Imaishi of TTGL fame"

>>109073186
NGE was a 10/10, and it was a tv series

>>109072161
You're too retarded.

>>109073186
>9/10 and 10/10 is something a TV anime can't even reach

Well why don't you just say that you're a "10/10 is perfect" fag, seriously I hate that shit.

10/10 is reserved for a masterpiece IN GENRE AND MEDIUM, if we go by that logic no Anime could ever hope to scratch my 9/10 or hell mostly even 8/10 because they don't measure up to the best live action movies of all time.

>>109073258
>why didn't Trigger not make her a stupid retard?
You couldn't relate or empathize with her issues, so as a result you didn't like her. Plenty of people did, though. It's as simple as that I guess.

>>109072157
Ryuuko exists and if the life fibers come back they supply the only thing that can fight them...so it'll work out no matter what.

>>109073328
>Plenty of people did, though
And that number seems to be going down by the day. In all seriousness, saying that people didn't like KlK because they didn't care for Ryuuko is a pretty stupid way to shove the other million or so of the show's flaws under the rug.

And I'm sorry I can't empathize with stupid retards.

Dislike Kill la Kill all you want. It won't stop me from enjoying it, you know?

>>109073290
Objectively NGE would get 8 gravitating towards 9 from me. And this is coming from a guy who has watched the show 17 times. There is a major animation slump in the second half, the last arc of the show becomes a bit formulaic, 25/26 were placeholders.

EoE gets 10/10

>Shit, if we're going down that path we should just have the show take place in a vacuum with Ryuuko and Senketsu as the sole characters. Because that's basically what Trigger did in the end.

What he said is to leave the Devas to become the Beastmen 2.0 and take advantage of all that spotlight to do something more coherent if they weren't going places with them in the first place.

Remember that Nakashima wanted the Devas to become more than the four Beastmen and he was in the right path, some of them even got episodes dedicated, but the second cour got so convulted that they the only got reduced to have "cool short scenes".

>>109073374
>And that number seems to be going down by the day.

What makes you say that? The people who liked Ryuko in all likelihood still like her.

>saying that people didn't like KlK because they didn't care for Ryuuko is a pretty stupid way to shove the other million or so of the show's flaws
Bit of an exaggeration, yes it has flaws, but the people who absolutely seem to despise the way the show went probably also do not like Ryuko as a character.

>And I'm sorry I can't empathize with stupid retards.
But she isn't that, she's a teenager. She's a normal teenager with relatively relatable issues in a show with a bunch of abnormal teenagers. Like that guy said, the show really rides on you relating to or emphasizing with Ryuko, if you don't at all then your enjoyment of the show will suffer.

>>109073453

I am just interested in what kind of fucked up rating scale you use. Talk about "muh opinion" all you like, but in the end you are forced to compare KLK to lets say Magnetic Rose.

Now if KLK is an 8/10 for you where the fuck does Magnetic Rose stand? Those two are so far removed from each other they can't be separated by just a 2 point difference.

I think its a 9/10. If I was more honest, itd be an 8 or 7, but waifu is in it

>>109073454
>come with genuine reasons why you don't like her character and maybe I can agree in some ways
Boring and annoying, for the most part. Her character development that was established in the first cour and early second is destroyed in the Bakemono Arc so she can figure out the exact same thing she discovered in the Berserk Arc: that she wants to wear Senketsu. Compound that with the fact that Trigger felt it necessary to push everyone else to the sidelines so she'd have a shot at standing out, and her nonsensical and genuinely retarded actions, and you have a thoroughly unlikable, stupid little bitch.

>>109073428

That's forcing it, you have to knock down points for the sub-par animation slump they hit mid-point, and I am not talking about the prolonged stills, but off model character directly in the foreground.

Probably for the speculah and OC. There were some genuinely fun times.

They used the "Ryuuko loses her mind" thing way too often. They even used it on Mako.
It got tiresome. You knew she was going to snap out of it because of friendship. Every time.

>>109074333
What does anime have to do with the opinion of scholars? Is there a fucking class where people organize anime into shit tier and god tier? Are there anime scholars? Does it pay? Do you even know what you're saying?

Rating systems don't have an entirely objective scale. You can try to say it has one but in the end when most people rate things there are going to be discrepancies on things where people feel "points" need to be knocked off or not, someone might notice the sub par animation NGE hit for example, but when it comes time for someone to rate it it might not be something that comes in to their mind.

When discussing reviews people need to read what the person actually wrote and put less emphasis on the number they put on the end of what they wrote. It's absolutely retarded how much emphasis people put on scores to the point where in the video game industry peoples bonuses can sometimes depend on what the average score on Metacritic is.

Sturgeon's law, anime just needs it's 2001: A Space Odyssey

It also doesn't mean entirely subjective.
Nobody is claiming there is a mathematically objective scale for determining the quality of animation or music or script.

>>109075093
Informed opinion > Uninformed opinion

If we allow for the existence of objective truth, then the informed opinion is closer to it, as such it carries more weight. That's why screaming "all opinions are subjective" is a curse pun on us by Einstein and Post-modernism

>>109075217
It is entirely subjective. Literally nothing objective about it, name one thing.

>>109075006
Here's the difference between an informed opinion and an opinion.

An informed opinion is where you tie in facts with how you personally feel. For example, X person did this, and then X said this, but X also said this here, so I don't think X person is X.

But when it comes to anime, it's all a subjective opinion. What facts can you gain from an anime? "The animation was bad"? What pleases the eye is different to everyone. "The story line was bad"? A good story line is different for everyone. "It was too fast-paced"? Some people like fast-paced anime. "There wasn't enough character development"? Again, an opinion. Some people can get more from a character within a few sentences they say than we can get from an entire story arc. That all has to do with how people interpret things.

The only thing you could really argue for an anime's success with an "informed opinion" is how much money it garners.

No it isn't. There are fuzzy lines, of course. But if any animation was fine, they wouldn't train animators for years to create their animation. Same for script writers and composers.

Are you dumb or something? Ryuuko's karma is to fight the LF, it's the karma she inherited from Soichirou.

But thematic content is worse than plot-based content.

>>109076301
But that isn't even the point. A painting can have as many 'technical merits' as possible, there is always atleast gonna be someone who doesn't like the painting for whatever reason. He believes the painting is not good. According to you this scenario is impossible because the painting is objectively good.

He can believe whatever he wants; it won't change the form of the painting or its technical merits.

>>109076449
Thematic content is intrinsically tied to form. If it isn't then you're a hack.

Hack writers are the best writers. You can't prove me wrong. Everything is subjective.

>>109076484

No that's her karmic cycle, of which she isn't free.

>they may not even come back in her lifetime.
Do you even know how karma works? Lifetime is irrelevant

>>109076498
Anime or art is not objective, so people can't get it wrong.

>>109076591
If they think a shitty fingerpaint with no technical merit is better than the works of a professional artist which involve lots of technical merit, they're wrong.

>>109076585
>No that's her karmic cycle, of which she isn't free.

So you agree with me then when I say that the Kiryuin karmic cycle was that family carrying out the Life Fibers will, then? Ryuko has her karmic cycle of being the best option against fighting them, but the cycle of the Life Fibers being served by members of Satsuki's family is over, they're free of that. If Satsuki has children she won't force them in to that that like her mother tried to and Life Fibers won't be entwined with their lives.

If they come back Ryuko has to fight them and get rid of them, that's the cycle that she is in, not the same as the karmic cycle the rest of her family was in for generations.

You don't have the foggiest idea how karma works and what it means to attain enlightenment. Do you? You can't just claim you reached nirvana when you are still stuck inside the cycle.

I was expecting it to be more adventurous like Gurren Lagann;s 1st cour once we were approaching the school field trip arc and gathering Senketsu's fragments.

Then it all got shafted.

People say the second half is where things started to lose their way.

I kind of thought it was Deva Gauntlet. It just kind of painted what the rest of the series was gonna be like for me from that point forward.

Pointless info dumps and dumb power ups.

How about no?

I absolutely loved KLK, but objectively I can see why people would say it's shitty. Episodes 1-4 were totally awesome, but eps 5-15 or so were mostly just repetitive "Boss of the Week" fighting episodes with very little movement in the plot, worst part being the Tri-City raid arc, which was just...a special kind of stupid. Eps 16-18 (the PLOT TWIST arc) was the show's strongest point. Not just the literal backstab, but the whole reveal on how Life Fibers are alien lifeforms that sped up humanity's evolution. I thought that was a pretty novel explanation for why humans are the only species that wear clothes, why humans are so intellectually superior, etc. After that, the show was not quite amazing, kind of all over the place, but still pretty fun. As for the characters, not one of them got the development they deserved (except perhaps Ryuko and Senketsu) but for some reason I still found everyone very likeable and memorable. The animation was pretty low-q for the most part, but for some reason I didn't have a problem with this as I usually do. In fact I felt like the messiness and at times deliberately half-assed nature of the animation fit the show extremely well.

In summary: objectively most of the important aspects of the show (story, characters, animation) are kind of sub-par. But there's a certain energy and enthusiasm among all that sub-parness that made me love the show anyways. It just had a lot of personality, which most shows lack. I'll remember KLK for a very long time.

Disappointing garbage

I wonder why if that Kill La kill is so shitty why is still the most remembered show of the two seasons it aired in.

Seriously i can barely remember other show from that period that is still as commented as KLK.

And I'm sure the 1/10 votes were fair, right?

Now that the dust has settled, can we all agree that everyone who doesn´t like KLK is a humongous faggot with shit taste?

Where did all these Kill la Kiddies come from?

Not shit, but mediocre. Took me a while to realize it, I still love it though.

from /a/

It was just as shitty as I expected it to be.

Fuck its fanbase, especially those on tumblr.

>>109083557
Good to read this kind of opinion, anon. Thank you for sharing it.

>>109084120
not really

>>109072408
Well fucking said.

KlK is a perfect example of an otherwise good anime being overshadowed by a shit-tier main character. This truly showed in the last 10 or so episodes, which focused entirely on her and her angst.

>>109084191
No wonder all the Ryuukofags were kicked off to /c/ where they belong. Do you remember those awful "appreciation threads" they had?

>>109084120
Never heard of it. I think it was KLK, but for a bad reason as it was the shittiest. The best was objectively SamFlam

>>109084191

bad MC or just a ton of Great side characters You dumb motherfuckers it works both ways

>>109084283
Ah eyah, SamFlam was the other notorious anime from that period. But still KLK is more talked about.

>>109084237

at least Kill la Kill is fun and entertaining unlike Madoka which is all cute dumb girls suffering and dying what a masterpiece

>>109084329
More talked about . But that doesn't change the fact that SamFlam was the only thing good to have come from that season

>>109084286
>it works both ways
Not really. A show can have a strong cast of side characters AND a good MC.

>>109084283

>SamFlam

Was that the insane anime about gay kick-ass and his monkey friend?

It was average.
It had a lot of soul, but the animation, budget, and direction killed it.

Wow this whole thread is cancer Kill la Kill was like Hot Fuzz an action comedy paying homage to actions other movies. most of you people are complaining about things that don't even matter because it was just part of the ride yet you kids are all bent out of shape over nothing.

>>109084688

That would be your fault though, only you can stop yourself from going where the "shitty fanbase" goes to discuss the anime.

>>109070336
An obnoxious fanbase makes people hate the show, it doesn't change the show, but knowing so many stupid, annoying people adore it can really skew a persons perception.

>>109084791
This guy kinda gets it.

>>109084757
>I swear this thread has been posted 10 times just since the finale.
Only 10?

>>109069666
I wouldn't say a fanbase can effect the actual quality of a show ( well except for Avatar where it's creators tried to appeal to the same shitty shipper landwhales that didn't get that it was an action show. But that's /co/shit) or product. They can however make you retroactively hate it.

I mostly disliked K-ON! because of it's obnoxious fanbase
I disliked Naruto for the same reason.

For a /v/ example i disliked the PS3 because of it's fans.

Is it silly, yeah but it happens

>>109084823
Said person is a retard

>>109084791
Hot Fuzz was actually good. And funny. And didn't turn into shit halfway through.

I tried watching it but once the show started fetishizing sexual abuse of one of the characters I stopped watching immediately....

The problem is that KLK becomes a victim of it's own parodying.

By the time we get to the exposition episode / satsuki betrayal I can't tell if they're still taking the piss or if they're actually genuine. Poe's Law is a bitch I guess.

>>109084286
A ton of great side characters and a bad main character defines this show, boy.

Not everything is an either/or.

>>109070941
And somehow despite the massive hype, snk fans are still less obnoxious than klk, even with all the western attention snk is getting/got. The fucking snk manga showed up at my local library (in the US) for fucks sake, it isn't just an abundance of newfags, or snk would be worse, it's stupid newfags combined with tons of shit taste otaku.
