No. The second half is far too weak. The story became too compressed, specifically the Nudist Beech section which was apparently supposed to be longer, and the animation took a significant nose dive.

>>155984178
No but it was pretty entertaining.

It was 7.5/10
most of the faggots that dislike it can't understand the implications behind the story.

The fanbase was awful and that led to a backlash against the show.

First half is 10/10, really engaging storyline and I actually cared about the main character's quest. They pretty much fucked it up royally in the second half since it seemed like they had no idea what to do with it.

>>155984178
no with those disgusting sadomaso outfits.

Is this a meme like "TTGL's second half is shit" or do people actually believe it?

>>155985219
Nope

Pre-Nui's introduction - 10/10
Post-Nui's introduction - 8/10

>>155985219

I actually liked TTGL's second half more.

No, but it made me realize that I want an exhibitionist girlfriend with thick eyebrows.

>>155985289
So what is the reason, other than the iffy animation in the last arc?

>>155985469

I just think seeing how they manage civilization while fucking it up is pretty interesting.

>>155984178
Absolutely. It was a feast for the eyes and ears.

>>155984178
Solid 5/10.

>>155985906
Okay, about this? Is her hair a blade? Was it always? Why did they think this Deus Ex bullshit was acceptable? This isn't TTGL where sheer willpower is always the answer, why can she just break free?

>>155984178
It was. Some people are just too dull to get it.

>>155986017
It's made of life fibers, that's why she can cut the thread.
In the last episode when she destroys the mecha academy the banshi gets absorbed there.

>>155986113
But if it's made of life fibers, how was it at all a surprise to her when she learned she has fibers in her? Did she think she was just born with an unusually hard, blade-like red streak in her hair? Why didn't Momma Badtouch instantly notice the second she saw Ryuko if she's like, Queen Life Fiber?

>>155984178
I'd almost be willing to say yes if the animation was consistent. The first half had such a distinct Trigger flare that would jump between silly and badass, with really impressive amounts of movement and quality mixed in throughout. A bit after the Nudest Beach arch began, this fell off majorly and it was kinda frustrating.

I still give it an 8/10, but it could have been a 9 or 10 for me

>>155985906
you mean episode 5, you fucking philistine

>>155986310
Obviously she did it unconsciously, partly because of the brainwashing. Before she was even fighting against Satsuki with the superhuman strength she still didn't know she had.

>>155986456
i think you meant the fight between 2-Star Goku Uniform Fight Club President Mako vs Ryuko

I really enjoy the first school trip episode for some reason. Eh, what was it? Ep 14, I guess

>>155986374
It wasn't that bad, only episodes 19 and 20 really suffered for lack of animation. 21, 24 and 25 had excellent combat animation.
Even the first cour was a little off at times, the first episodes of the Natural Elections I believe were outsourced and looked kinda dull and static.

>>155986888
It was a fun episode and had Takarada.
The school trip episodes got too much shit for no reason.

>>155987215
Did they? I don't usually follow threads on ongoing anything except for shounen manga (I'm that terrible of a person, yes)

The characters were memorable, the music was good, and the premise was interesting, but the animation fluctuated weirdly in a few spots and the story went all over the place.

I believe if Trigger ever went back and remade it into two or three movies then those movies would be fantastic.

>>155987830
I think many people didn't understand the jokes about Japanese regional stereotypes and thought it was a waste of time.

Will someone ever justify this statement?

>>155988063
What? Really? I didn't know anything about Japanese regional stereotypes and I was really hyped when they began. Before them anime was kinda going in circles with all this Ryuko vs Satsuki stuff and after the school trip the plot really started moving in some direction.

>>155985219
The real meme here is that the second half of TTGL wasn't shit

>>155987979
>and the story went all over the place.
Did it? It was condensed around life fibers taking over the Earth and Ryuko and Satsuki relationship. How's that "all over the place"?

>>155985219
Second half of TTGL was shit tho.

>>155988325
The first half of the second half was kind of boring. The last quarter of it was so hilariously over the top that it got good again

>>155988325
>>155988285
Name one (1) bad thing about the second half of TTGL.
But if it's "hurr durr the ending betrayed the spirit of the series!", don't bother.

>>155984178
Sure, it was a masterful piece of shit.

>>155988883
It was boring and pointless "save the damsel" plot with some even more boring and pointless social comentary. All as an excuse for a final battle. I did enjoy the battle (and the superdense space joke), but everything else was meaningless and dull.

>>155988883

Again, it really shows the pacing problems in that show

Pinpoint the exact moment the show went to shit

>DUDE THE CLOTHES ARE ALIENS LMAO

>>155984178
No. It was pretty good but the animation is poor and the pacing was weird.
If those were fixed it would be pretty amazing though.

>>155990486
"Really fell apart in a few episodes" is not the same as "poor". You should be already accustomed to the way japanese production works. Sometimes they have to cut it on less important episodes to make the ones that are important great.

No pacing issues, the last batch of 3 stars were specifically made for the last battle. Might as well complain about pic related only appearing in one episode.
>>155990220
That was a fantastic idea though.
>>155990676
Episodes 19 and 20 really looked bad and felt like they were put together in a lunch break.
I suspect they were supposed to be outsourced like the middle episodes of the first cour but the studio bailed on them.

>Episodes 19 and 20 really looked bad and felt like they were put together in a lunch break.

Maybe. I honestly don't care about it. Most shows have weak episodes, but in general KlK had great storyboards and a lot of inventive and fun stuff in it's animation.

It was literally hair that had the most direct connection to the life fibers inside of her. Much like Ragyou is able to do later, she formed her hairs (essentially strands of cloth) into a blade, which sliced apart the controlling web.

>>155988883
>Name one (1) bad thing about the second half of TTGL.
protip: this challenge is not winnable

>>155991062
It's already won a few times. The only things that are good about it are the final battle and the histerical idea of ultradense space

What happened to that Life Fiber bullet?
What was the deal with the black stuff that flows out of Monster Ryuko when she was defeated?
Why did Ryuko kiss Nui when she was controlled?

Checkov's gun that never went off
>What was the deal with the black stuff that flows out of Monster Ryuko when she was defeated?
Everyone knows that when you're evil and die you leak black shit.
>Why did Ryuko kiss Nui when she was controlled?
Because she was "more in touch with herself" or something. Either Ryuko us secretly lesbian or she was influenced by Ragyo's lesbianism

>>155991434
>What happened to that Life Fiber bullet?
Nothing. It was a last resort that could have killed the person it was used on that was rendered useless when Mako showed that talking sense into the person possessed by the outfit was a better solution.
>What was the deal with the black stuff that flows out of Monster Ryuko when she was defeated?
Stars, that were a leitmotif through the show, from Honnouji's uniforms to life fibers coming from space.
>Why did Ryuko kiss Nui when she was controlled?
Lost the discernment between good and evil. Also she's gay and Mako is her wife.

>>155991921
>Checkov's gun that never went off
I wish people knew what Chekhov's gun means.

I fucking hate nui so much

>>155991966
how is it not a Chekov's Gun? It's an element that ultimately serves no purpose

>>155984178
Its a masterpiece along with SAO and Fairy Tail

No. It was thoroughly mediocre. Crappy production values, half assed writing, and being cliche as fuck all helped drag it down.

>>155992200
It did serve a purpose. Just because Chekhov's example involves a gun, it doesn't mean its function necessarily has to be being shot. It could be used to hammer a nail as long as it's relevant to the narrative.
And the bullet did serve a narrative purpose, there was a choice between using it for forcibly separate human and clothing at the risk of their lives, or trusting their judgement and talking sense into them. It didn't need to be shot.

>>155992589
If the red bullet has never been introduced, then described in fair detail, and the sniper had never been there waiting and ready to use it, would the narrative of the story for anyone but Mohawk Man have changed? It really wouldn't have, none of the other characters were even aware of it's existence and their actions were not influenced by it at all.

When an item that powerful is introduced, then not used when it's first useful, usually that is a set up that it will be used later on. But it's never mentioned or seen again. So perhaps that isn't technically a chekhov's gun, but it feels damn close.

>>155993097
Aikuro and Nudist Beach were aware of the risks of losing yourself in a Kamui. He warned Ryuko about the risks of fighting so many opponents in a row before the tournament even started. So it just makes sense for them to have a countermeasure ready.
Without the bullet there wouldn't be any conflict. Aikuro and and Tsumugu would just stand there like idiots that should have known better waiting for something to happen.

>>155989973
wrong

>>155993288
That doesn't explain why it isn't used later on. If the bullet separates humans from clothing, should it not have been used on Ryuko after she got mind controlled? Even if it fails because of her internal life fibers, that should have been the absolute first thing they tried.

>>155984178
yes

>>155984178
Yes.

>>155993710
Because there was the risk of her dying. Which probably would have been even more likely since by then they knew Ryuko was made of life fibers.
Beside, Satsuki had a plan and then Mako succeeded again

>>155984676

What were the implications?

>>155993910
At that point, does it matter? As far as they know they have no way to break the mind control, and if they don't deal with Ryuko they have no chance of ever winning. The risk is out weighted by the reward.
