>Akko's struggles with magic and finding her place in the world immediately stopped when she found out about the Grand Triskelion, even though her role model explicitly failed at what she will have to do. We are led to expect she is still struggling with school and the meaty topic of work/life balance is never explored.
>Akko and Andrew were a clear relationship plug yet everyone realized Andrew is a loser and ships Akko and Diana relentlessly
>Croix and Constanze's relationship gets glossed over, even though they clearly are the only characters mentioned who share interests in magical technology.
>Sucy became more popular than Akko so she was essentially killed off in episode 8 and now has none of her original instrumentality to the plot line or discernible personality
>Some of the animators have even expressed dislike for Akko yet she's still shilled as the protagonist
>We're supposed to believe that these nine girls are going to come together to mirror the nine witches who created the Grand Triskelion, yet there's been no exploration of Hannah or Barbara as characters and character balance is at an all time low, skewed needlessly and at everyone's protest in Akko's favor
>I know, let's eliminate every original aspect of our franchise and put the most generic character on a pedastle!
As if it wasn't bad enough that Kill La Kill was literally Gurren Lagann - Girl Edition. I had a lot of hopes for Trigger but they'll never be Gainax.

I watched Kill la Kill before Gurren Lagann and can say KLK was infinitely better in every way. I stopped watching Gurren Lagann around 6, just lost interest.

Nigga you ain't even gotten to the good shit in Gurren Lagann. Fire that shit back up
We told you LWA anime is bullshit.
Yet, you didn't listen. You though LWA anime could be made.
LWA should have stayed in history as great OVA.
>>157494463
Well if you watched it all the way through, there is a formula that GL, KLK and LWA all have predictably followed. Also episode 4 of Gurren Lagann was done by a guest director and it resulted in a resignation of a Gainax producer. So you should factor that into your judgement.

if he likes Kill la Kill he's use to episode 4 having shittier visual style
They somehow managed to make Akko an insufferable cunt, compared to how she was in the OVA and Magic Parade. It's truly a disappointment.
>>157494981
Magic Parade's Akko was an obnoxious cunt who only cared about herself and abused Lotte at every occasion, she single handedly ruined the movie.
TV Akko is a million times better, you don't know what are you talking about.

What compels a man to write a wall of text of shitpost?
I kinda grew tired of the show because of Akko's overexposure. Also seems that we also got reminded Akko is the chosen one a little too much. Although I really liked episode 13 where she used her weird metamorphosis to do the job that no one could and it felt like she really earned the win.
I think she becomes insufferable because of too much exposure. She's actually a good character if used right. If her antics are used sparingly and she's more like in the first OVA, early episodes or episode 13, she'd be great. It just gets tiring if you're exposed to her too much. Especially in a 2 cour show.
Akko is pretty much Naruto.

Kill la Kill is a worse version of Gurren Lagann
>>157494404
That's because Trigger doesn't have any competent directors. That's what happens when you make a studio with only animators.
>>157495297
Agreed. Her drive is an interesting quality but it's often taken to such an extreme that she steamrolls other people's wishes, even going so far as to meddle with one of her best friend's thoughts.Well-intentioned or not, it raises the question of what she values in the people around her. Clearly not their personalities or passions.
I struggle to see the point of this show at the present time.
So they want to revive the Grand Triskelion because magic is waning. Fair enough, but what negative consequences does not having magic entail?
The world at large is completely unaffected by it, the only issue is the witches not being able to be witches anymore. Is that really all that is at stake here?
>>157494463
Kill la Kill is a better version of Gurren Lagann
>>157494463
I'm tired of all this KLK and GL cocksucking
>5 episodes left to turn this shit around
Can they make it?
>>157494404
I didn't read the post but awwww look at Akko's cute little face.
>GLfags and KLKfags are getting as bad as JoJofags
