Mediocre.

6/10

>>154367511
idk, I dropped it after 5 episodes because the plot was already veering wildly off course

DON'T

>>154367511
good but not as good as ttgl

>>154367511
i said this in an edgy opinion thread earlier, i loved it upon first watch, and it has NOT held up, not even within the first 3 months.

i feel that the first 2 episodes are good, and then its filler and trash until about episode 18, then its alright. even so, its NOT worth watching at fucking all.

>>154367615
i will say that ryuko is fucking hot though

>>154367511

It had some great ideas (and a 10/10 first episode) but the execution was a complete mess. It felt like they were making shit up as they went along and with a 24 episode series this lead to a lot of dead air and questionable moments.

>>154367511

Great 8/10 anime over hated by dumb contrarians on /a/.

>>154367511
Too much filler and dropped plot points. Also it became Chrono Trigger mixed with DMC and not in a good way.

>all these anons that lost their way

>>154367511
Suuper boring first few episodes

>>154368432
Besides the anti-clothes super bullet what plot line is dropped?

>>154368516
Basically Nudist beach in general accomplishes NOTHING. They don't even help. Everything in the plot could've been solved with Satsuki's followers and Ryuko.

>>154367511
Far superior than garbage trash 'comedy' like Konosuba

>>154368581
Without Nudist Beach the plot line becomes too simple, which makes the show worse. Sure they only really end up assisting the main characters but their presence is welcome

I didn't care much for it and I like abstract shows with weird plots. It's not the worst show ever but it's genuinely hard for me to enjoy.

The characters were hard to get into and the plot was dull for the majority of it. Maybe it would have been better as a 13 episode anime, but even then I can't see myself getting sucked in.

Like a child who got molested by a family member.

Enjoyed it at the time, but then everybody told me it was bad and now I feel ashamed for liking it.

Filler, a mess of story, animation THAT left a lot to be desired, and Ryuko getting really fucking annoying with the forced drama shit later on.

I feel like it should have been 12 episodes and Satsuki should have been the MC.

Satsuki is best girl and I used to agree with your opinion but Satsuki as MC would make KLK a different show. It wouldn't be wacky-stupid as it is.
I do want Trigger to give her a sort of prequel OVA or something though, her motivation and resolve were much more interesting than Ryuuko's inner struggles.

A little enjoyable. Soundtrack was good, a shame about basically everything else. Possibly most damning is it having the worst costume design I've ever seen when the subject matter is the clothing.

>>154369241
They provide her with challenge and information as the story develops. They also assist in the final battle.

the same way I feel about Lagan, it was a fun ride

>>154367598
Ttgl is straight trash.

>all these people that think that it was actually supposed to be a quality, well written show

There's a reason the animation was intentionally horrible and the plot was ridiculous and all over the place.

>>154370761
What, they blew their budget and time on the first 12 episodes and were shit outta luck for the rest?
Yeah, sounds reasonable.

>>154370761
The animation crumbled because of fucked up schedule (they even had to delay the second cour of one week and lose an episode) and the writing was more complex than most people here could grasp, you dumb crossboarder.

>>154370761
Because that's Trigger's gimmick? I'm astonished that they've existed for years now and STILL haven't done anything good. Have they even tried? Why is everything they do "IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S SHIT!"?

>>154370838
They didn't have a budget to begin with, did you see the first episode few episodes and think about budget? Because while it had a few good animated scenes in most episodes, most of the show was filled with techniques to constrain movement/amount of frames.

>>154370896
There is no limit in budget that would actually force an animation studio to use a line of copy pasted cardboard cutouts rocking back and forth to represent soldiers.

>>154370966
Did you watch LWA?

>>154370966
Like it or not, it basically is their gimmick, and trying to criticize klk because it is what it is is ridiculous.

It's not trying to be monster.

>>154370896
>complex writing
>plot that went absolutely nowhere, PLOT TWIST MOM BETRAYAL, generic shounen powerups, and deus ex machina is not "complex writing. The writing completely jumps the shark at the end and being incoherent and inconsistent doesn't make it "too complex." "Threads" was a poor metaphor for the bonds between people, and that theme has been better explored with better writing in shows like Lain and EVA.
Basically, you're the dumb fuck.

>>154367511
5/10, max.

yeah i like the waifu shit but holy shit KLK was not written well. I hate it when people say 'lol its not trying to be serious, its just trying to be dumb fun', but why stoop that low? could've had something original instead of the same recycled tropes

episode 24 is the worst episode ive ever seen in an anime series, ever

>>154371050
Here's the difference.
Ninja Slayer understood perfectly what it was. Irreverent, nonsensical shounen tropes played out for maximum irony with lowest effort. Blatant fanservice. Shit animation. Self aware irony.
KLK tries to have it's cake and eat it too. Fanservice, but also STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER who gets molested? Skimpy outfits, but that's on purpose? The power of friendship but it's actually taken seriously? Shit animation but they're trying to hide it?

Both might be ironic shitposting in anime form, but Ninja Slayer is funny, has a great dub, and is pretty universally well regarded. In comparison, KLK is just mediocre.

>>154371220
>same recycled tropes
It's
a
parody

>>154370995
The dumb crossboarder hasn't even watched Karekano.
>>154371071
>plot that went absolutely nowhere
Maybe you're just stupid.
>PLOT TWIST MOM BETRAYAL
It was clearly set up and everyone saw it coming, hardly a plot twist.
>generic shounen powerups, and deus ex machina
So you didn't get it.
>The writing completely jumps the shark at the end and being incoherent and inconsistent
Nope.
>"Threads" was a poor metaphor for the bonds between people, and that theme has been better explored with better writing in shows like Lain and EVA.
KLK themes are nothing like those of Lain and Eva. Way to prove my point.

>>154367511
Hatred. Because I enjoyed it for the first few episodes and looked forward to the rest. Only for it to shit in my face.

>>154371267
It's been long enough since I watched I don't remember the molestation thing.

They really, really don't try to hide the shit animation.

I don't even understand the point you're trying to make about skimpy outfits.

>>154367511
It was fun to watch it with /a/

>>154371267
>Skimpy outfits, but that's on purpose? Shit animation but they're trying to hide it?

I don't think you even got what you were watching, it's almost as bad as the people comparing it to TTGL and saying KLK tried to copy it - watch more Imaishi you fucking drooling retards.

And no they weren't trying to hide anything, it was clearly a choice done on purpose. It's a gag. The clothing thing was explained enough times throughout the show but people still don't get it, damn.

>>154371363
My point was that, for the anon that thought KLK was a "masterpiece" of parody and irony, Ninja Slayer is far superior. It was much funnier, and more self aware.
For hype and battles and character, TTGL is a better anime, as Ninja Slayer most definitely and I'd say, Ryuko's character, are jokes in comparison. Did you think Raygo was written well? The only character that had vague depth to it was Satsuki, and even then it's just because you learn she isn't a cardboard villain cutout, but actually respects power and hates her mom. KLK is not written as blatantly stupid as Ninja slayer, nor as fantastically and originally as the tale of humanity against the anti-spirals.

KLK tries to be a combination of the two, and is neither funny nor inspiring as a result.

>>154367681
funny, i enjoy shows that go overboard on fanservice, i thought it was a funny action packed memorable series, no fantastic, but fun and had enough of a plot. god tier soundtrack too, feel it gets too much hate on /a/

KLK isn't a parody and it's blatantly obvious you don't even know its sources of inspiration.
>fantastically and originally as the tale of humanity against the anti-spirals.
>KLK tries to be a combination of the two
Jesus. TTGL kids from /v/ really make it hard to discuss the show.

>>154371611
>KLK tries to be TTGL
People keep saying this shit... I can't see it. Hell, Re:Cutie Honey is more comparable to KLK than TTGL is by miles.

>>154371611
>KLK tries to be a combination of the two, and is neither funny nor inspiring as a result.
KLK doesn't try to be anything but itself, get it in your thick skull. Ninja Slayer was a project done after KLK was made, TTGL was done by the same group of people but I'd say KLK is more like PSG than TTGL. People really need to stop comparing the two or think they were trying to make another TTGL; they weren't. It's another project entirely. Ryuuko/Satsuki's stories are nothing like Kamina and Simon.

Ninja Slayer was a joke that overstayed it's welcome, Inferno Cop is where it's at. Dropped NS after 3 episodes.

>>154371787
Unsurprisingly so since that was always written by Nakashima and partially directed by Imaishi.
KLK is more Nagai than TTGL ever was.

are there any save the world schema shows like KLK? other than TTGL?

Forgettable, promised more than it delivered.

I still love the hell out of it, it's enjoyable as fuck.

It was fun but I think the action scenes could have been better. Too many moments where characters are stationary and just flailing their arms.

Also found it hilarious that the ending was Sonic Adventure 2 humanized.

>>154372084
TTGL is heavily inspired by Ishikawa, not as much Nagai. The biggest thing it takes from Mazinger is drawing over the attack frames and stealing the poses for animation. Even then it does that a fair bit with Getter as well, if not more so.

>>154367511
it was kind of shitty

>>154367511
It was a decent show. They excelled at fanservice, but the plot took a turn for the worse in the second half, the overbearing, world-dooming thread of the life fibers completely changed the atmosphere making it feel very inconsistent. The VAs all did a good or great job.
Overall, 7/10.

This series joins the likes of Fairy Tail and Sword Art Online as the The Worst 3.

>>154373777
You're free to post, just go to a board that is more fitted to your kind.

>>154367511

It was, and still is, the high point of watching a current series with /a/, for me anyway.

The threads were fucking unbelievably good and made the show about 9x better than it would have been.

Nothing has replicated it since for me, nothing has even come close.

>>154371267
>Skimpy outfits, but that's on purpose?
Did you miss the part where Ryoku couldn't go all out because she felt embarrased wearing a skimpy outfit, whereas Satsuki didn't? Did you miss the whole "who cares what the masses think, why should I feel shame?" point iin episode 3?

If you look at the early episodes of klk as comparable to Fooly Cooly you can see some parrallels to how Naoto dealt with male related social problems (earmarked by the phallic imagery coming out of his head) and Ryoku going through female related social problems (like people oggling her and the concept of her releasing blood)

Now Klk more or less abandons this line of thought around episode 5-6 and the clothing takes on a different meaning. But for those early parts the skimpy outfits were used to show that tough girl Ryoku still has issues coping with others and their perceptions of her.

>>154373805

tried to emulate TTGL's hype and general feel.
failed miserably
/a/ tried their absolute best to pretend it was like watching ttgl in 07 all over again, and failed absolutely miserably

the animation, if you could even call it that half the time was absolutely rubbish
the plot, if you could call it that, was nearly non existent.
it felt like watching a show that was being made week to week with no end goal in mind.

it was your typical sub average show but because of the ties to TTGL, /a/ tried hyping it up to be something it wasn't even close to being.

>>154367511
>Now that enough time has passed how do you really feel about Kill la Kill?
Boring show with a lame plot and repetitive characters that for some reason i enjoyed back when i was in school. Would not watch again.

Better main cast but shittier side cast than TTGL, went to shit during the second half just like TTGL, barely animated unlike TTGL.
All around enjoyable though. Something to spend a weekend on and have fun and forget about the next day, just like TTGL.

But really it tried to cash in on TTGL's success way too much honestly.

I'm not going to explain myself when you'll write off whatever I say with "Hurr Durr tis a parody, twas a joke" which doesn't excuse poor writing.

But at the very least I'll give you one example: Two-thirds of the way through, its revealed that Ryuko was born and is made up of life-fibers which gives her not just high-speed regen but also immense power, which is good enough to cut a skyscraper in half without wearing senketsu. Yet through-out the first half, she jobbed multiple times to people who were severely weaker than her. Now please explain to me without using "parody" or "joke" how this is in anyway anything but bad writing?

lad i was here for both. dont cherrypick half the sentence in favor of refuting the undeniable facts i posted. imaishi tried to emulate what he achieved with ttgl, and failed miserably, while exposing himself as a director who needs someone to restrain his outlandish bullshit to make a good show.

>>154367511
It was a fun and pretty awesome at a lot of points, I really like a lot of the characters so it helped out some of the more "empty" parts.

It stood out to me because 99 percent of animes are generic garbage like middleschoolers eating cakey or monster girls trying to have sex with some beta. Not to mention I really enjoy the art because it wasn't composed to make logistical or physical sense but to have artistic impact.

For example, when Satsuki walks down from the giant steps to the school grounds, it's logistically fucking retarded. But, ahem, anime isn't real and I liked the composition of the scenes.

In reality, it reminded me why I started watching anime in the first place and I love the art to boot.

>>154374484
You may like them, but that doesn't mean they don't have any personality or are extremely one dimensional.

>>154374614
>If you think ruining tension and adding Jar Jar Binks comedy is a good thing, then I really do feel sorry for your abysmal taste.
You are the kind of person who thinks comic relief is a tonal clash. You shouldn't look down your nose at people when you compare Mako to a character that has zero similarities to her.

>>154367690
>>154367690
This

>>154374679
I just prefer interesting character interactions over individual character development. Ryuuko vs Satsuki, for example, was more interesting to me than any single character in both KLK and TTGL.
Besides, you can argue many one dimensional characters can make up one multi-dimensional body.

>>154374614
>Two-thirds of the way through, its revealed that Ryuko was born and is made up of life-fibers which gives her not just high-speed regen but also immense power, which is good enough to cut a skyscraper in half without wearing senketsu.

So you can't even follow basic storytelling.
It's explained that Matoi Isshin sealed the life fibers within her body and they got awakened with time only by being put over and over again in life threatening situations.

>>154367511

Saying that KLK tried to emulate TTGL is like saying that Luluco tried to emulate Dead Leaves and just reveals you as the crossboarder you are.

you can keep calling people who dont like your shitty show crossboarders, but that doesnt make your show any less shitty. imaishi took undeniable direct inspiration from ttgl and also from nearly every gainax show to some extent. unfortunately that doesn't work with a shitty studio like trigger. it worked in 07 with gainax because they had the talent and someone to keep imaishi on a leash.

No. They only share the basic 2 parts structure.
>from nearly every gainax show to some extent
No. A few references, mainly to Evangelion, that are irrelevant to the actual substance of the show.
At least don't make it so obvious you are from /v/ and you know nothing older than the 90s.

you really love parroting this crossboarder shit in lieu of actually defending your shitty show, probably because you cant defend garbage.

KLK had inspiration from just about every single gainax show ever made. hell even slutskis suit was a homage to gunbuster. and it was more than a few references. there was an evanglelion/ttgl/diebuster/gunbuster reference at absolute minimum, at least once an episode.

you can keep calling me whatever sort of boogeyman you want, doesnt change the fact KLK was absolute shit tier, and that no one gives the slightest fuck anymore. its been what, a couple of years? ttgl turns 10 this year, evangelion turns 22, gunbuster is nearly 30, all of these shows are talked about more and far more favourably that your pathetically bad shit la shit

As expected the shitposting crossboarder can't even read.
I said that the superficial references are irrelevant to the actual substance of the show, its tone and storytelling.
How about you try to explain how it tried to emulate TTGL and other Gainax shows, where it matters, and not others, older sources, that you obviously know, not being a /v/ermin?

>>154375465
No, it's just Gainax has always been an otaku studio who make anime for otaku. Gainax homaged/parodied/referenced tons of shit in just about every series they made. It's not referencing Eva or Gunbuster as much as it is referencing the same things those series referenced.

The similarities between ttgl and klk aren't because the latter is referencing the former, it's because it has almost the exact same people working on it and they just aren't super creative so their work can be kinda samey.

It was fun. Had some of the best and most creative fight scenes of the past decade. Girl's were pretty top tier too. If it was just about spectacle show would receive 10/10. Plot and some of the characters could've definetly used some improvement/more development, and I didn't feel any emotional connection to the series at all even at moments where I could see I was supposed to, which is a huge failure of the show.

>>154367598
This basically

>>154367555
Its not awful. It doesnt really know where its going in the first half, but plot is figured out from the 2nd half of the show and its fine. I'd reccomend watching if you ever want something really fun.

How? How is it at all similar outside of compatriot and closest person to the person dies in the end? Considering Imaishi has done the same thing three series in a row, maybe he just has no idea how to write any other kind of ending?

Mediocre show with a fundamentally bad concept.

>>154367511
Flawed masterpiece.
But despite some glaring flaws, that would make it a 9/10 rather than a 10/10, it's one of my absolute favorites. I probably watched it more times than any other anime, save for FLCL and EoE.

>>154378971
So rushed production.

>>154378971
it's low budget you absolute pleb. They blew all their budget on like episode 10-13 or something.
Were you even here when this anime was airing?

>>154367511
I never watched it and probably never will

>>154379079
No, the series had a big Aniplex backing, with Sawano and all, and they weren't certainly short on money.
But 25 episodes of non stop action were too much for a freshly established studio. Should have been split cour.

It was pretty good until episode 12, then it got pretty boring. Watching the first 12 then the last 2 is probably the way to go

>>154376368
Indeed

>>154379257
It just shows they overshot their budget and very clearly didn't know how to manage a studio yet. Klk was very ambitious for a fledgling studio.

Very enjoyable to watch and listen too

Probably my favorite sub ever

Although middle can really dip in quality. Overall one of my favorites, but not my favorite or in my top 5

Mediocre. I never understood how anyone felt like the show was anything special, especially with the legacy of TTGL, PS&G, and the LWA OVA. It was the same rehashed revenge story with power levels, fan service, and even a tournament arc. It had a strong aesthetic, but was otherwise unremarkable and had subpar animation.

I genuinely liked every character in this show though

>>154375908
>The similarities between ttgl and klk
Such as?

>>154367511
I don't know.
I watched I think half of it, got to the secrets society and that needle assassin where they introduced a number of new things.

But it just felt like a weak monster of the week kind of thing (not that that is a bad thing). Watched a few more episodes to see if the new things where going to change stuff, well they didn't in that short time. I assume they used that setup later, but I just didn't feel like waiting around for it. Also I never really got use to the animation style, although I hate to count that against a show.

In fairness this was around the same time where anime just stopped being fun for me. I don't know if I have just seen too much, but everything seems to have gotten boring.

So I don't think I can fairly judge it.

>>154379874
It's not about them being a fledgling studio. The parent company, Gainax, has been consistently overshooting their budget since their very first show.

>>154381088
There aren't many honestly other than a similar energy of the series and the ending. I don't think the two are the same at all other than they have similar mishandlings because Imaishi can't stick to one idea.

It was one of those shows that was fun to watch while airing but can't ever live up to rewatch.

>>154381088
In the first half the hero fights against a villain that ends up teaming up with the hero to defeat a greater enemy.

>>154376569

Satire about genera cliches were overshadowed by waifu fags. Men having blinding light coming from their nipples is a joke at Japans censorship. The series demonstrates how the progression of more suggestive clothing leading to wearing nothing at all has a dulled response. The idea that something was actually hidden was more erotic than everyone on screen just being naked. It was also considered with the characters acceptance of their skimpy clothing. When Ryuko was embarrass more emphasis was placed on her body then than later on when it became more normal for her, it matches the fans familiarity and desensitization. Aside from those industry satire moments, most everything else were just exaggerated satire of cliches.

Really takes a dive towards the end. They seem to run out of money because the episodes and fights look worse and worse. Lots of stills, lots of reused animations, lots of *teleports behind u because movement is expensive* in the fights. Really fucks with the pacing too.

I think by far the best episode is the one where they're all run down and forced to live in the sewers or whatever, suddenly the show can do nuance and tone.

Take out Mako and it's 7/10. Make Satsuki and Co. the main cast and its an 8/10. Make a final episode that's not rushed to all high hell and it would be a solid 8.5/10 for me.

I still enjoyed the show, though I know it was pretty shit overall, but it was fun regardless.

>>154386196
>I think by far the best episode is the one where they're all run down and forced to live in the sewers or whatever, suddenly the show can do nuance and tone
That episode and the one next were the ones hit the hardest by the schedule problems, are you serious?
They were originally supposed to be 3 episodes and one got cut because of the delay. The episode had to be completely redone, so the pacing is rushed, the storyboard, art and animation are shit and some important scenes even ended up in the drama CD.
14 - 18 and 21 - 25 look a million times better, sometimes even better than the first cour (15 has the best Ryuko vs Satsuki fight by far).

It totally knew that it was as a farce. It constantly drew attention to how stupid everyone was and how ridiculous the situation they were in was. It trivialized the drama and dramatic reveals with a lot of the inane bullshit the characters were spouting, in addition to the shitty shot composition that animators purposely drew to look amateurish. Literally half the cast just stopped caring what was going on because in the end it didn't really matter.

KLK was a solid 7 or 8/10 anime. Entertaining all the way to the end I felt. Very neat style, fun characters, and really good music to go with it. Watching it with /a/ just made it even better.

One of the contributing factors I feel though as to why people hate it now, popularity aside, was pushing the Saving Anime thing as hard as a lot of people on /a/ and other places did. I'm guilty of it too I fully admit. It was fun before and during it airing, but that shit "Trigger"ed too many into thinking this was an 11/10 masterpiece when it wasn't and even those pushing the meme knew it wasn't. We just knew it was going to be a fun ride with the people behind the show at the reins.

>>154387989
The only thing I loved about the OVA was that speculah on the school being a robot was true.

There were a couple of soundtracks released. The best is the first OST which is kind of obvious because it has the good memorable songs on it in full. My main complaint about the OST is that some of the tracks are unnaturally blended together and I wish they were split e.g. the elite four's theme's are crammed into two different songs with other incidental music.

What I like about the soundtrack is that there's minimal repetition within each song. It's like they just made most songs entirely out of hooks. It really soothes the ADD to not hear filler.

>>154367511

The problem is that on the OST they didn't just put "Sanageyama theme", they released it as 犬Kあ3L which has some incidental music (I think) the turbonerd's theme, and Sanageyama's theme.
>>154393164
PSG was great because it was a lot of Teddyloid and TCY FORCE making actual music and they didn't fuck around with it on the soundtracks. I imagine they told some artists to make them songs and then they cut them up for the anime and included the real deal on the soundtrack (I haven't watched PSG since it aired)

>>154367511
it was pretty funny, the fanservice wad what this show was about didn't do anything for me.

Ah I see what you're talking about now

Really cool. It is crazy, the characters are very charismatic and memorable, the plot is quite straightforward and well paced (I don't recall any filler), didn't escalate as far as TTGL. Granted the ending was kind of anticlimactic and the OVA too cheesy. Overall decent, can't rate it tho, I just like it.

I might have a Trigger bias.

I think it's too long by a half. If they'd budgeted for 12-13 episodes and condensed everything into that frame, they'd have a really tightly paced, thrilling, and enjoyable show, a worthy successor to TTGL.

As it is now, though, the show meanders through ten or so episodes of nothing really happening. There's a stretch where Ryuko loses Senketsu/her way, gets him back, and then loses Senketsu/her way all over again two or three times in a row.

The tone was also kind of odd. For a show that opens with some kid being out and out crucified, the show ends up feeling toothless when no one actually dies. People are being stabbed, battered, shot, having their eyes gouged out, etc. and there's never really any consequences.

I guess I like it overall, but more for the fun I had watching week to week with my friends and shitposters here. It doesn't nearly hit the heights of TTGL, though, which is a shame.

For what it's worth, I think Space Patrol Luloco is everything that Kill La Kill was trying to be.

If you think he died, that was a mistranslation. He was only beaten up and can be seen in the background in later episodes.

>That way you butcher her character arc.
>Like removing Simon's sulking from TTGL.

It's not an arc, it's a yo-yo for a solid stretch of episodes. There's not really progression, just resets.

Simon sulks, yeah, but he's a better drawn character and it's a development that leads to something. He doesn't just "get sad" to fill time.

>If you think he died, that was a mistranslation. He was only beaten up and can be seen in the background in later episodes.

We SEE him getting crucified. If they can't even commit to that, that worsens the problem, doesn't it?

>Luluco was trying to be a Cutie Honey reboot set in a meiji era dictatorship?

Kill La Kill, at its core, is a story about a girl coming of age, a girl who learns to disregard what others think of her (her bashfulness over her body, Ragyo's plans, etc.) and instead manages to forge her own path. She's supposed to become an adult over the course of the series in the same way that TTGL is about Simon becoming a man.

Luloco is also a coming of age tale about a girl learning to reject society's expectations (her desperation to be normal).

Luloco hits that coming of age sweet spot while better balancing the tone. It's completely off the wall and zany, but when it gets "serious", it lands grounded by Luloco's character and arc. It's also just long enough that it never outwears its welcome or wears thin.

The first half was solid, although I like Ragyo the story took a nosedive in the second half.

Also, I think Satsuki should've been the main protagonist the entire time. Yeah, Ryuko's easier to write a premise around but we all know who the better character is.

>in the second half

You mean the second half of the second half. In January and early February the threads were full of fun speculation about who Ryuko's real dad was. Then it was just something wacky/retarded like "haha he disguised himself as an old man". Also that one chick that got turned into clothing was never relevant. Also people thought Ragyo had some kind of actual reason for wanting to turn people into clothes and then she was just evil.

Starts strong, stays hilarious throughout but loses some steam in the second half

>>154394643
>It's not an arc, it's a yo-yo for a solid stretch of episodes. There's not really progression, just resets.
No, there's no yo-yo. The middle part of the series is all about her finding her reason to fight.
>We SEE him getting crucified.
No, he's only tied by his arms. And 10 seconds later Mako says he was beaten up.
The first half is about high schoolers having squabbles, there's never any pretension of serious consequences.
>Kill La Kill, at its core, is a story about a girl coming of age, a girl who learns to disregard what others think of her
No, that is only a part of what KLK is about. If that was the case, the series would never go past the "do whatever you want, fuck the police" attitude of PSG and Dead Leaves, Satsuki would only get ridiculed like the demon sisters and victory wouldn't be obtained thanks to both humans and clothing. Ryuko's arc is less about being independent and choosing for herself (she always was like that) and more about her becoming social and shaping her identity in harmony with people that are different (in many cases polar opposites) from her.
I'll add that the "it's okay to be abnormal" part from Luluco feels half baked, like Imaishi felt forced to add it since it's in all his works, and is far less interesting that the romance.

Childhood is idolizing Ryuko.

Adulthood is realizing Satsuki makes more sense.

How are all these people saying the first episode was great when it took an amazing premise and threw it all away for a standard shonen motivation?

>highschool under a dictatorship, great setting alone for an action show or slice-of-life
>students have uniforms that enhance strength based on rank, establishing tiers of powers and a protagonist that could start at the top or bottom and still be compelling
>introduce a protagonist in the first 10 minutes that goes "muh dead dad" while everyone jobs

It's difficult to think of a series that squandered a premise quite as violently as KLK did.

>No, that is only a part of what KLK is about.
I don't think you're wrong, all that stuff about Ryuko learning to branch out is there, too, but I'd disagree on the whole. The other themes were peripheral or tied to that coming of age theme. Ryuko was a schoolyard bully and then trying to avenge the father she had always shunned. She wasn't really independent; she wasn't following ordes, but she wasn't really making choices either. Mako, her family, and then her growing cast of friends and allies become the family she never had and the source of support that allows her to blossom on her own.

Satsuki's arc is along similar lines. Even though she's planning against Ragyo, she's stuck acting and thinking like her mother (might makes right, seeing people as tools to further her ends, etc.) whatever her ultimate intentions.

>I'll add that the "it's okay to be abnormal" part from Luluco feels half baked, like Imaishi felt forced to add it since it's in all his works, and is far less interesting that the romance.
I'd disagree, since Luloco's desperation to be normal goes hand in hand with the romance. Her initial attraction to Nova is shallow, based entirely on his looks and her desire to have the perfect middle school romance. Her realizing that it was shallow, and then inspiring him to find a purpose/motivation/drive of his own, is what takes them from that initial attraction to an actual romance.

Maybe 1 or 2 of these could have worked, but this was all condensed in a pretty short span so it doesn't feel like genuine progression. It's development and then regression so we can go through the motions again.

>>154398047
>Over and over again.
No. After going berserk and realizing the futility of revenge, Ryuko is empty, and afraid of herself. Nui's ruse to make her wear Senketsu again showcased this, fighting for something she didn't believe in (overthrowing Satsuki) leaves her defeated with her identity literally shattered. At this point Satsuki, manipulating her as usual, brings her across Kansai to put Senketsu (and herself) together. It's the first time she fights for someone other than herself, and the same happens when she's overwhelmed and reluctant to fight to save humanity but Satsuki lures her to Honnoji again putting Mako's family in danger.
Remove the Kansai arc and you lose a fundamental part of her development.
>Nigga
Ryuko's dad death belongs to the realm of Ragyo, Nui and Covers, where people are actually trying to kill each others and actions have serious consequences, not to the school where despite the frictions, nobody is really evil and it's all a big ruse anyway.

>>154400046
cont
>The other themes were peripheral or tied to that coming of age theme.
I'm not saying that it isn't a coming of age story, just that "disregard what others think of her" doesn't describe it.
Ryuko defines and shapes her identity with the help of another being that mirrors herself (Senketsu) and whenever she loses control, it's thanks to the image of herself in the mind of others (Mako, Senketsu, Satsuki) that she finds her true self again. The series makes a clear point that no man is an island, and what we are is defined in relation with others.
The "I don't care about what anyone thinks" attitude belongs to the first half of the series and is fondamentally flawed and fruitless, like Satsuki observes. At the same way, Ryuko calls out Satsuki's methods for what they are.
The series is about finding a balance between the opposites the characters embody (because everyone is different and incomprehensible in one way or the other): chaos and order, nudity and clothing, black and white, etc. Similarly to how TTGL was about finding a middle ground between new and old.
>I'd disagree, since Luloco's desperation to be normal goes hand in hand with the romance
But it wasn't shallow because she wanted to be normal. It was shallow because it was the first crush of a 13 yo (and it being shallow didn't even have a negative connotation anyway). The two things weren't really well tied together.

>>154398229
>>Ryuko spends another whole episode too depressed to get him back
No, she goes to get it back immediately.
I explained the rest here >>154400046, and her refusal to put him on after the reveal is an entirely different matter.

I like the individual pieces of it. The characters, music, blood powered living space clothes, etc, but the way they were put together was sloppy. You could tell they were more or less winging the whole series outside of a couple of key episodes that carry the rest.

I'd love it if they gave it the TTGL movie treatment and split the whole series into 3 movies to cover each arch so that everything will be tighter and have a proper budget.

>>154400379
Seeing some scenes reanimated would be nice, but with evenless runtime the narrative would be an absolute clusterfuck. If anything the series could have used some other episodes.

Fun show, but it fell apart anytime things got serious. The ending was by the numbers, the villains had no motivations whatsoever, and Ryuuko's angst was comical. The side characters really carried it. I'll never forget my confusion in the fight where Ryuko beat Satsuki "because Satsuki is alone" right after she went against Mako and Senketsu's wishes while Satsuki was fighting with the help of the four devas. If I had to describe it in a sentence, it was utter nonsense in all the best and worst ways.

Because that was still when Satsuki was using everyone as pawns to manipulate, Devas included. Remember when she was about to throw Sanageyama out when he lost against Ryuko?
It's only after she was beaten and escaped prisony, during the scene on the boat at sundown, that she realizes that those people genuinely cared about her and were always there to protect her.
