budgeting.

The initial couple of episodes had a lot of bombastic scenes and battles, but starting at around episode 3 the animation quality took a huge dive, and between the infamous CGI kamui fight, all the fights that are pretty much just "clashing images of weapons while dialogue plays" or "lights moving around in the background bouncing off of eachother," the series just never picked itself back up to the standard set by our first impression of it.

That and a lot of the plot elements seemed to have been pulled out-of-ass halfway through production, like how Ryuko's dad is actually Ryuko's dad, just bent over to look like an old man for...no real reason? Or how a lot of design elements, like Ryuko's "possessed" form, are never revisited or dwelt upon ever again.

>>148838089
>There aren't any.
Fixed that for you.

Pre-mid arc and the 'not so surprising' plottwist together with the very bad spread out budget. All of this put me out of the rhythm/phase of the serie.

>>148838160
That's not really correct.
Episode 2 isn't really great, animation wise.
And aside from CG Satsuki (that obviously was just Trigger still being inexperienced with the subject, the CG in episodes 15 and 25 is much better) , the animation in ep 3 was great.
You can pinpoint the episodes that really suffer from lack of animation, they're 13, 19 and 20.

When you consider their purpose from an MC centric point of view, they all help the MC get better after a slump of some kind, accompany their character development, and support them.
They're fleshed out sure, but they were still created for that purpose.

>>148838017
Lack of personal closure in the Finale.

They should have swapped two things around at the end, instead of Nui becoming a Kamui for Ragyō, it should have been the other way around, the fatally wounded Ragyō turning herself into a Kamui for Nui to wear, then the now superpowered Nui taking to the sky to finish the covers takeover.

It changes it from "Oh, you killed me, shame I had an extra life left." to Ragyō coming to terms with her own defeat but pushing on knowing that her goal is worthwhile. It changes Nui's entire character, strength and mystery being ended in "Okay sure I'll die for you." to having actual confrontation and a real fight and a reasonable conclusion for her.

It also gives Satsuki and Ryūko the closure in their own character arts. Satsuki does successfully defeat and kill her mother, rather than just opening the way for Ryūko then taking a back seat. Ryūko likewise, gets the final showdown with Nui and is able to confront her fathers killer. Both of them achieve their original goal with neither of them having to take a back seat. Even for the final moment, you can do this and still have the moment where Ragyō gives her final warning to Ryūko after Nui has been defeated. It just wraps everything else up even better in my opinion and is such a small change.

>>148840161

I get that, but I really hate the fact that Nia, Senketsu, and Nova-kun all have this moment when they realize they're not just an anti-spiral/lifefiber/nothingling and have this human epiphany then they still die/get banished to the shadow realm right afterward. It's like "we're not plot devices, we're characters! Time to die like a plot device!"

It felt like show slowly started falling apart past 3rd ep. I thought it will go completely crazy with boss rush, yet not much happened until 'tournament'.
Senketsu 'leveling up' was irrevelant until very last episode.
Ryuko losing her way, way too often.
Last battle being anticlimatic.
Still enjoyed it.

No real underlying theme. No symbolism. No abstract story-telling. Completely plot driven with a less than spectacular plot. Loads of meaningless fan-service. Shallow characters.

The animation is fun, it's stylistically over-the-top, and the premise is somewhat unique.

It's better than average, but not anything incredible.

But the entire point of Nui's character is that she's completely subservient to her mother, unlike her "sisters". It doesn't make sense for her to be the final villain instead of Ragyo.
And the lack of closure for Satsuki was the main point the OVA revolved around.

>>148840459
I really liked it too. Sasshi and Arumi are great.

>>148840194
Not really, a dynamic character falling in love with an unchanging character is a staple of love stories. The MC is usually the dynamic one, but it can be the other way around sometimes. It doesn't really have much to do with the MC being good or not, it has more to do with the genre and whether or not you'll include a love story. Needless to say it works with friendship too.

>>148840268
Yeah, I'm honestly not sure why he does that. Honestly it feels like a cheap way to bring about a bittersweet ending. Moreober this is something I feel like I've seen a lot, but only in Chinese cartoons. Rollo does that in Code Geass for instance.

No actual real-world theme underlying the fantastic flash. TTGL, for example, has the theme of the conflict between the old generation and the new. There is nothing so consistently reflected in KLK. Don't tell me about conflict of parents and children. Ragyo is evil because fuck you, there is no relevant commentary here.

Speaking of Ragyo, flat villains whose character mostly consists of power level. The same goes for Nui, of course.

Supporting cast including even Satsuki was sidelined and then outright benched in the endgame.

Fights grew increasingly disappointed as the series progressed.

>>148840791
>Wasn't the whole journey about how MC tries to prevent tragic ending,
Not so much prevent as hide from the truth inside the silly fantasies. He wanted to stay there even more after learning the truth and almost screwed up everything with Arumi trying to hide it from her. His grandmother was the example of what he would become if he never returned to face reality, no matter how painful.
I would have liked the ending perfectly if Sasshi had used the skills he trained for as a Onmyo mystic to set things right. But to have the ancestor show up and do it was a literal deus ex machina.

The last quarter of the series.

>>148841002
Every single male in the series was either comic relief or extremely subservient to women. The protagonist was a woman, the deuteragonist was a woman and the main antagonists were both women. The main point of the series was that women should be comfortable in whatever they wear and comfortable in their own bodies.

If TTGL celebrated masculinity then Kill La Kill celebrated femininity, it was an extremely girly show.

>>148838134
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee how dare you say that

>>148841211
I actually think you're looking at it on a very very base level, which is strange because it isn't as if Kill La Kill is difficult to understand at all. The whole point of the nudity early on was that Satsuki was strong and comfortable in her own skin and she was supposed to be showing that to Ryuko through their early fights.

Sure, there was a lot of skin shown, but aside from the parts where it was obviously played as a joke most of it was done just to empower Ryuko and Satsuki further. Never mind that those two characters themselves are very stereotpical "strong female characters" appealing to two different demographics of girls.

>>148841206
I don't think you were paying attention.
The point of Kamuis is that they cover the less skin possible, and to activate their true potential you have to "get naked".
And why do you think the Goku uniforms of the Devas covered their entire bodies in the first arc, but they got skimpy to the point of being practically kamuis at the end when they were fighting against COVERS?
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

>>148841137
>The main point of the series was that women should be comfortable in whatever they wear

That's why the protagonist's ability to not have fuck beaten out of her and progress through the plot depends on wearing one specific item of clothing that forced itself on her, I guess?

>and comfortable in their own bodies.

As long as they have at least 8/10 bodies, of course.

There is simply no any sort of consistent point in KLK.

Saying the show was about clothes and nudity was like saying TTGL was about robots in bigger robots.

That is incorrect, TTGL is about the spiral of progress and KLK is about the red string of fate. Simon constantly drills through new ceilings and grows a person, Ryuko and Senketsu are bound by fate but they get stronger through that bond.

>>148841387
She wants to wear Senketsu, she doesn't want to wear the clothes other people(society) want her to wear (literally they have the antagonist end up being her mom and also have her force Ryuko in to wearing Junketsu so they could get this point about teenage girls across better)

I just don't think /a/ wants to admit Kill La Kill was a show for women. There's really nothing in it that a man can take out of it when it comes to theme, it's a show for teenage girls.

>>148841156
There's a difference between basic concept association that already basically exists in your head and next level symbolism.

You can merely describe the synopsis of Kill La Kill to people, and they'll immediately recognize "Oh yeah, so the nudists obviously like freedom, and the academy with an obsession with clothes is trying to promote conformity".

That barely even constitutes real symbolism. If you can understand the symbolism in the show without even watching it, it's cheap symbolism. Symbolism that requires 0 thought is not even worth mentioning.

Of course. In KLK's case clothes and nudity were just a metaphor that went nowhere. As I said, metaphors do not make a theme.

>That is incorrect, TTGL is about the spiral of progress and KLK is about the red string of fate.

I agree.

The reason I like KLK much less is that, in my opinion, supporting elements of the show in TTGL were, well, coherently supporting the main theme, so it flowed through every significant element of the series. In KLK, not really. Actually the dialogue about the metaphors of individualism and conformity in this thread is an evidence of that because the perceived message of non-conformity just doesn't mesh with the fact that Ryuko has to accepts the red string of fate (and well, use the same god damn power source as every villain, except purified thanks to her father; which is a metaphor for father-arranged marriage, if anything) to gain power.

>>148841879
They are sisters, anon!

>>148841501
>She wants to wear Senketsu, she doesn't want to wear the clothes other people(society) want her to wear

Senketsu is also a piece of clothing other person, specifically her father, wanted her to wear - whether she wanted or not. In fact, she didn't until after some episodes of bonding.

>literally they have the antagonist end up being her mom and also have her force Ryuko in to wearing Junketsu

The real-world metaphor that can be extracted from here, whether creators intended it or not, is that mothers do not have their daughters' best interest in mind (but rather their own) when arranging marriages, unlike fathers, and therefore the latter should be trusted with it.

Senketsu is Senketsu, he doesn't have an identity or memories of his own when he first wakes up, and he grows through watching Senketsu. You'll notice that he's a lot more cold and mechanical (complete opposite of the emotional crybaby he is in the later half of the show) in the first few episode and constantly making observations about Ryuko, but he also changes from what he learns from her. A big part of why Ryuko identifies with Senketsu is because neither of them really know themselves but they both find out through each other.

Senketsu has the same function of every robot built by the father of the MC in (good) mecha shows.
It even looks like Mazinger Z and Isshin Matoi is literally Juzo Kabuto, for Christs sake.
It's a shell to protect the child in the real world until he's mature enough to stand up on his own. Which is why at the end the shell has to be abandoned.
Gundam 0079 is exactly the same.
It has nothing to do with the "wedding dress" that Junketsu was.

>>148842222
Ryuko doesn't wear Senketsu because it's her duty or for anyone other than herself, because she likes him.

That metaphor is cracked, because Ryuko doesn't care for either of her parents intentions for her, or the fact that they're just trying to use her, she makes her choices for herself and for Senketsu.

>>148842254
>It's a shell to protect the child in the real world until he's mature enough to stand up on his own.

...at which point it is replaced with a better and more badass shell.

Look, you don't get to decide that a metaphor stops at an arbitrary point where you consider a show no longer good. Mazinger Z is succeeded by Mazinkaizer (also built by protag's father, even) and RX-78 by Nu.

Deepfags basically run /a/ in terms of prevailing opinions. As much as plebs think an anime maintains status here based on genre like yurifags and MANimefags do, deepfags always cast the deciding vote on whether an anime sinks or swims on /a/.

Deepfags are the only people smart enough to articulate real arguments one way or the other.

>>148842254
But Senketsu isn't a shell, he's a person, that's something hammered throughout the show, he grows and argues with the MC and at the end of the show says "I'm not any different from Ryuko" right before he dies. Not is destroyed, dies.

>>148842437

I'm perfectly capable of judging when a work stops being significant or changes its focus, for one reason or another.

>>148838017
It's one only flaw was that it was shit

>>148842578
It's both.
And you keep overlapping its function in the narrative to what it rapresents thematically.

>>148842855
Because Senketsu's function in the narrative and what he represents thematically are not different things. KLK is full of homages, but it still has its own story, it's not just a sum of its references. It's like TTGL or Space Patrol in that respect

>>148842623
And that's, like, your opinion. Which appears to be quite baseless.

But let's meet it on your own terms, just for fun, i.e. taking mecha shows until the protag upgrades to a better robot the first time (which cuts nearly all cornerstone mecha stories short, but whatever).

And we will find that in no case "the shell has to be abandoned". Every time the child has the precious inheritance of his father that provided the owner with importance far beyond his natural abilities reduced to nothing in a desperate struggle for something much greater than himself. The inheritance metaphor is painfully obvious in Mazinger itself, if you remember it, because of the resentment between the true and the adopted sons of Juzo Kabuto based in no small part on the issue of, you guess it, what their father had left to each of them. The same is true for Senketsu, of course. However, it should be noted that the parallel with mecha is far from perfect, because all those mecha, unlike Senketsu, are not sentient. They had no character of their own.

>>148843104
Narratively, it's a weapon given to Ryuko from her father that eventually befriends her, help her and grow together with her according to the "clothes and human can be friends" plot point of the story.
Thematically it's a rapresentation of Ryuko's struggle with her identity (shame, loss of control, rejection, etc) as she grows into an adult.

>>148843360
Thematically Senketsu represents someone she opens up to because his struggles match hers. The grow together part of the narrative is the important part thematically, Ryuko grows and Senketsu grows and it's always for each other's sake. That's because KLK's actual theme is the bonds between people, both those who are forced together through fate or some higher power, and those who chose to be together.

Senketsu differenitiates from Mazinger or the Eva unit because he's a person, if to no one else he's a person to Ryuko. And whenever they get stronger, it's not an upgrade it's always their relationship that gets stronger.

It's another equally sappy Japanese-ism, but it's a completely different one

Not enough nudity on the girls.

But once again you've described its role in the narrative, and not its allegorical significance.
Of course she opens up with it and they grow stronger together, but that only works diegetically, and it's a kind of lecture doesn't hold water when we take in consideration the majority of the elements of the show, from the fact that it was handed to her by her father, to what the clothes rapresent, to the line about growing out of sailor uniforms, etc., all of which suggests another interpretation.
And the to debit to classic mecha shows is clear and deliberate, one can't pretend otherwise.

It does hold water. He was handed to her by her father (by proxy), but that is the hand of fate (Life Fibers) pushing them together, and ultimately both of them choose to be together regardless of fate. Clothes in KLK are represented as the instrument fate uses to control people, but again Senketsu and Ryuko go against this figuratively and literally, because they are both human and clothing. Lastly, Ryuko grows out of her sailor uniform, but she continues to wear Senketsu inside her heart. That's the final scene of the epilogue, but the entire OVA is dedicated to that point. This is because their hearts are tied by the red string of fate (literally), their bond transcends death. It's all always been about the thread of fate, and the fate you make.

Their is absolutely an homage to classic mecha shows (and showa shows in general), but that's all superficial.

I want to fuck her voice.

Why are you so adamant about this interpretation, exactly?
Looking back at every other Imaishi work, the matter of identity and the exaltation of uniqueness over order and conformity has always been central.
The freaks robots against the mass produced guards of Dead Leaves
The Gaimen with a face against the Anti Spirals with no face
The anarchist angels against the demons obsessed with rules
Ever since Kill la Kill was announced it was clear it was going to be all about this, and then everything about the actual show corroborated it.
But you say that, despite all the time dedicated to the description of a dictatorship that molds people into faceless grunts, and another half dedicated to a plan to erase all differences making humanity getting swallowed by clothes, it was actually about fate and friendship?

>>148838017
Main character's gender was an after thought. If you gender swapped her to male, literally all of her scenes would still make sense. That is proof that she was originally created to be a male, but they switched her to female in the last second for fan service.

This. Kill la Kill is the poor man's TTGL.

Yeah dude, Imaishi likes reusing a lot of motifs and cliches, and referencing his own work, but all of them are all have their own thing going on.

KLK has dictaorships with faceless grunts and clothing eating people but it's all window dressing, at the end of the day it IS just about fate and friendship.

>>148848073
>actual interesting discussion going
>idiot intervenes without reading anything
Annoying to say the least.

>>148848283
If the majority of the series for you is window dressing, I guess there's no point in discussing anymore.

>>148838017
Isn't Ryuko supposed to represent anachro socialism? She's red and black like their flag. Or it could just be a plain Antifa reference.

Also Satsuki is Israel, therefore Ryuko is also Iran.

>>148848418
Think of it like the religious imagery in Eva. There's tons of it, and it looks cool but it's all superficial and not what Eva is about.

>>148848926
She's supposed to rapresent Shadow the edgehog.

>>148848978
Now I'm starting to believe that you're pulling my leg.

Good taste.

It ended.

Ironically the plot loses its way.

Are you new here kid. Hey genius, /a/ isn't a gay forum where you stay on topic on each thread. Discussions on imageboards are like the wild wild west. If something comes to your mind you say it. I can just imagine you following each topic carefully and worrying about interrupting the current conversation. If that is how /a/ worked you would never get a word in edgewise.
