So... Kill La Kill is basically what you get if Gurren Lagan and Evagelion copulated and made an illegitimate offspring?
>>160677385
No, it's what you get when you make minor changes to Re:Cutie Honey.
Is Trigger the new Gainax?
>illegitimate offspring
?
>>160677438
Yes, because they have so many similarities. Such as both having female main characters, and so on.
>>160677579
>>illegitimate offspring
>?
You know, the kind you won't admit you have...
>>160677385
No, it's more if Gurren Lagann and Utena made an illegitimate offspring.
>>160677711
>Utena
The only common point I see is that there are Lesbians and incest in both show.
>>160677385
There's zero correlation with Evangelion.
Kill la Kill basically a parody of mecha anime. Take a robot anime and then remove the single most defining factor, the robots themselves.
It has robot ugrades and tech rush, it has arch rivals, it has a Char, it has robot hijacking, it has super prototypes, it has an inventor of the single most powerful one dying at the very start, it has mobile base, it has henchmen robots, it has called attacks ,it has a last culmination of everything where everyone gets to combine their power and fight it out in space.
It is a robot anime (mostly) without robots.
>>160677385
I like akame ga kill more.
>>160677579
>Yes, because they have so many similarities.
Of course they do silly anon, why would have I mentioned it otherwise?
>>160677752
I was thinking more of the Student Council, and the battles between characters that take place in the big stadium. I watched Utena after Kill la Kill, and I felt it was a big influence, but that might not be true.
>>160677385
>Gurren Lagan
>Stupid Mech shit
>Evangelion
>Stupid Religious Mech shit
>Kill la Kill
>Magical Girls
No
No, Kill la Kill is what happens when the Gurren Lagann team has no budget and no plan and fail miserably.
>>160677872
I don't think I ever thought of EVA as religious mech shit.
More just a character drama with religious undertones that takes names and themes without actually doing anything with them.
>>160677872
>Kill la Kill
>Magical Girls
If Kill la Kill is 魔法少女, then I'm fucking Pope himself.
>https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki%E3%82%AD%E3%83%AB%E3%83%A9%E3%82%AD%E3%83%AB
It's a clear battle anime. Shit like Naruto also falls into this category. Look into the interviews with the creators, look into any Japanese media concerning this shit.
Just because some retard on English wiki plastered a retarded tag on it doesn't change the fact.
A Kill La kill anime that is exactly the same as Kill La kill, except Ryuko and Satsuki are now boy.
>>160677768
It's mainly just largely influenced by Go Nagai. KLK is to Go Nagai as TTGL is to Ken Ishikawa.
>>160677574
Its the closest thing to Gainax currently out there. Whether or not they'r a true successor remains to be seen. They haven't had a megahit yet. But I personally think they will in time.
>>160678390
>A Kill La kill anime that is exactly the same as Kill La kill
K.
No but seriously. KlK and TTGL are certainly siblings, but to say that they are exactly the same is wrong.
TTGL follows a boy coming of age while KlK follows a girl coming of age. I'm not in the mood to get into the symbolism and character development but everytime KlK comes up i'm struck at how fucking basic /a/ is when it comes to actual examination of anime.
>>160677806
Where's the side by side character comparison chart to Utena? I'm sure you've seen it before.
I enjoyed the first half of KLK much more than the second, it just turned into constant fighting and was a bit of a chore.
>>160677872
I fucking WISH it was magical girls.
I wanna watch Mahou Shoujo Satsuki.
>>160678680
>Its the closest thing to Gainax currently out there.
Not really.
Gainax was what it was for several reasons.
They managed shit differently by hiring all the animators whereas other studios simply use freelancers.
They were also dead-set on hiring only otaku. By otaku, for otaku.
They were always squeezing their budget dry, said budget acquired by a ton of helping out on different projects (with shitty quality, they're responsible for the worst Macross has to offer, for instance).
Trigger does have connections to a few of the people at Gainax but these people are almost all from post-Diebuster era and really, I'd go as far as to say Khara has more actual Gainaxers in it.
The only modern studio following Gainax's legacy is Kyoani. The problem with Kyoani is that they're absolutely not interested in the genres Gainax was, as well as the fact they usually get burned when going full-in with their budget (think the Nichijou debacle).
>>160677768
Basically none of that is unique to robot anime. Its all showa anime tropes that KLK apes.
>>160679013
Eh, I agree it's mostly a battle anime, it does take some heavy mecha inspirations.
Like the tech race, mobile base, jacking (in this case Senketsu switch), limited battery time (in this case blood) or flight upgrade.
>>160679153
Battle anime has those power ups too though.
>>160679153
Trigger can't seem to let go of the mecha genre desu.
LWA had a good bit of it, too.
>>160678997
>responsible for the worst macross has to offer
What?
>>160679423
Ah, right. That was just Anno.
>>160679758
You mean animation-wise? Any examples?
>>160679845
Well, Gainax was known on the whole as the studio that does amazing animation for thesmelves and produce crap for others when outsourcing.
However, old Macross if you've seen it is a long slouch of horrible animation throughout. It has a few amazing scenes and we know those were done by someone else (namely the oh-so-famous Itano).
Sadly, the only compiled work of his is on what he did in DYRL so... yeah.
You can see he did still have qute the ways to go. I wouldn't put the Max vs Millia knife fight past him because he was horrible at anything not mechanical at the time.
And even mechanical was so-so:
https://sakugabooru.com/post/show/15477
His is the transformation, compare with Itano's fight in that scene.
>>160680316
God, that knife fight scene. I had forgotten all about it.
>>160678793
You got me wrong. I wasn't saying KLK was TTGL but with BOy.
I am saying, imagine Kill la Kill, exactly the same, but Ryuko and Satski are boy instead.
>>160681142
Is my waifu still a cutie patootie girl, though?
The ending was so subtle, I still couldn't tell if Ryuko and Mako were gay or not. But somehow not even half as infuriating as Korrasami because they had a considerable amount of meaningful dialogue.
>>160677385
>still nothing else than a grainy poster about promare.
why they do this?
>>160684057
>The ending was so subtle, I still couldn't tell if Ryuko and Mako were gay or not.
It's not subtle, they aren't gay. People who take Mako's hallelujah moments seriously, what's literally been nothing but gags and visual puns for the entire show, are braindead.
Who cares? let's talk about best girl.
It isn't anything like evangelion
>>160677385
Wow, it's really like you've only seen 3 anime. Lurk more.
>>160684302
I think you selected the wrong picture
>>160681443
Yes.
So little witch academia is what would happen if it was under an excellent politically correct marriage then? And Ursula represents Ryuko after losing senketsu and blowing up the moon and stealing people's Yay and lost hers?
>>160677385
Kill La Kill is basically what you get if take Gurren Lagan and make it waifushit
>>160685596
Sounds better than Gurren Lagann already
>>160684057
>The ending was so subtle, I still couldn't tell if Ryuko and Mako were gay or not
>>160684222
>It's not subtle, they aren't gay.
They are 200% gay. It's not even arguable. You have to be of the most obtuse level to deny that.
>But somehow not even half as infuriating as Korrasami because they had a considerable amount of meaningful dialogue.
I'll give you that, but don't call Them being gay subtle, especially compared to Legend of Korra.
-Avatar LoK:
Hold hand together and walk toward the light
-Kill La Kill:
Mako never stop to praise and admire Ryuko, say how she is in her head, literally ask her on a date and kiss her on the mouth. Ryuko is totally okay with that.
If anything, the problem with Legend of Korra was that they were too "subtle" basically making it comes out of nowhere. At least in Kill La Kill, you could see where it was coming from.
Fuck, in Legend of Korra, we wouldn't even know for sure if there hadn't been the confirmation from the writers. I think it would have been better if they had let the matter unanswered. I still consider that as they were waling toward
>>160685644
Its obvious most of /a/ would like it because its composed of horny virgins who are in their mid 20s
>>160685539
Then why were Ryuko and Mako not dyking out in the OVA
>>160685672
And? That's exactly the demographic this site is aimed at. What else were you expecting when you came here?
>>160685712
Just saying only a place like this would like a shit show like klk
Dont get passive aggressive on me now
>>160685669
>If anything, the problem with Legend of Korra was that they were too "subtle" basically making it comes out of nowhere. At least in Kill La Kill, you could see where it was coming from.
Exactly what I meant. It was more or less planned from the beginning, where Bryke decided to just let their fans decide what to do with the show.
>>160685669
>>160685689
This is meant for you post deleter
>>160685669
Mako also insist that Senketsu is Ryuko's one true love and soulmate but you never see you fags talk about that.
>>160685669
End yourself
>>160685669
Fanbase of this show consists of these kind of people mostly
>>160685116
No. And Nonon would agree with me.
>when your waifu waifus my waifu
>>160685902
Can you be my waifu?
>>160685739
I'll get as passive agressive as I want to, oh lord high and mighty anime critic.
mfw there are people browsing /a/ RIGHT NOW who would disobey Satsuki-sama
>>160678680
Promare seems promising.
>>160685689
Who say they weren't.
>>160685812
What is a threesome?
>>160685819
Why?
>>160686241
The writers
>>160686330
Source?
>>160685689
Aren't they dyking out in the credit of episode 24?
I thought the OVA took place between the final of episode 24 and the credit of episode 24. At least the hair of Satsuki were indicative of that.
>>160686377
The OVA
>>160686420
They just bought clothes
>>160686485
And?
>>160686447
>>160686330
I really don't see you point. unless I don't understand you well, when you say "dyking out" you are saying being a couple right?
Which they are in the OVA, as nothing is indicating the date has been cancelled.
>>160686507
So all girls that buy clothes together are dykes
>>160686507
>The date is Ryuko, Mako and Satsuki buying clothes.
>Mako even gets hit on by Gamagori and Ryuko runs off to think about Senketsu, both character's male love interests
>still gay though
Man you tumblr types are something else
>>160686688
No. But it doesn't mean that they aren't either.
Also, when two people promise to go on a date and later are buying clothes, it usually mean they are on a date.
>>160686573
Where's that retarded Nakashima anon when you need him?
Writer said there are no couples in KLK. You can do whatever you want in your fanfiction. But there are no canon couples.
>>160677574
Trigger is a parody of Gainax
Khara is the true Gainax successor
>>160686790
Satsuki was there
The sisters were lezzing out in the dressing room. Fact because they're Kiryuuins, it's in their nature.
>>160686766
I... What?
Man, I am not even on Tumblr, but you have a serious case of denial.
-Mako ask Ryuko o a date
-Ryuko say yes
-they kiss
They only stumble on Satstuki. As for Gamagori, I think it's implied he never make his move. Ryuko is simply reminded of Senketsu as she see a piece of clothe that remind her of him, but don't runs off.
There is being anti-tumblr and then there is being stupid.
>>160686688
Do you go on "dates" with your "bros" or do you just go straight to succ?
>>160686810
>Writer said there are no couples in KLK. You can do whatever you want in your fanfiction. But there are no canon couples.
So saying they are not go as if it was a fact is wrong, then?
>>160687006
The writers says it's an okay interpretation.
>>160687077
ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER
DO YOU SPEAK IT?
WELL, DO YOU?
>>160687063
I don't have friends
>>160687037
>Mako asks Ryuko on a shopping date to buy clothes
>This is specifically what she says
>She imagines kissing Ryuko because its a joke segment based on the japanese puns she makes being visualized literally
>This is somehow proof that Ryuko is secretly gay
How does that make sense?
>>160687063
Girls go on dates with their bros though
>>160684106
great another ugly meme from studio meme, just what this medium needed
>>160687278
But they wouldn't ever go on a date with you ugly motherfucker
>>160687238
>gamagoori and sanageyama walking toward each other on the sidewalk, gamagoori in full gimp gear
>they bump into each other, fall down and accidentally dock each other
>"guys it's not fucking gay okay it's just a cute pun so just stop it already"
>>160687526
forgot pic
>>160678821
>>160677806
This one?
>>160687700
This seems pretty coincidental 2bh
>>160687526
If it happened inside Mako's recurring joke corner then yeah, I wouldn't take it too seriously.
>>160687828
I guess, there's some obvious ones (Student Council President Kiryu and Student Council President Kiryuin), but the elite 4 and the student council just share a color pallet and a general midboss role. I remember reading that Utena was one of the things the show was influenced by.
>>160677385
My main problem with KLK is the artstyle
Females simply do not look attractive in this artstyle and overloading the fanservice was useless because of it
The election arc was horrible, the pacing in general was all sorts of inconsistent, and the ending feels like they wanted to ape TTGL but had no idea how, so they just threw some generic world ending threat and called it a day while it still didn't have any of the hype and excitement that TTGL had
>>160688282
>Females simply do not look attractive in this artstyle and overloading the fanservice was useless because of it
>>160688466
You know what I mean
>>160677385
Kill La Kill is basically what you get if you take all the substance from Gurren Lagan and leave only the style.
>>160688282
>Females simply do not look attractive in this artstyle
Say what you like about this show but I can't think of any other anime that does does the female body as hot as this.
>>160688044
Tomboy main character goes to this school looking for clues about a mystery she's trying to solve. She makes friends with a genki bowl-cut sidekick type, who info dumps about the rest of the cast. She is suddenly thrust into taking care of the mysterious partner character with special powers they give to the main character in battle. At first partner is very cold but quickly becomes extremely close to main character. The main character is forced to fight with the student council, meanwhile the student council president whose the main character's rival dangles the fact that they know the answer to the mystery main character is trying to solve as leverage. Along the way she also has to fight genki friend. The big bad ends up being an adult that literally wants to fuck everyone and control everyone with their big doomsday device, and is secretly tied to the mystery mc is trying to solve. In the end, mc smashes their plans but is forced apart from her partner during the finale and leaves the school to move on with her life.
>>160688644
Shut the fuck up retard
>>160688663
OK
>>160677385
Exactly. Insest results in mental retardation
>>160688587
Again, I simply don't like the artstyle, the colors, the animation style
I mean pic related is an unimportant side character from a currently airing show that doesn't even look all that great, yet it's fucking amazing
Thd lighting, the shadows,, the shiny parts, KLK is really weird for me
>>160685669
Yeah because those moments were always so serious and literal, not like they are literally nothing but puns and visual gags. If you take a hallelujah moment seriously you're a fucking idiot.
>>160685812
Mako has patrician taste in OTPs
>>160688644
This is pretty close to what could be considered an archetypal story. (Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung)
>>160689396
It's the same archetype TTGL falls under.
>>160687700
I think KLK had big Utena influences, but that chart is dogshit. Like they never saw one of the shows.
Anyone else like KLK substantially more than TTGL?
>>160690220
It is better
>>160690220
Yeah.
The characters are way more memorable.
I wish shippingfags would leave, the only true OTPs are Gamagoori and Mako and Ryuko and Senketsu
>>160690220
I do.
I can't deny TTGL does things better and that it has better production values, but KLK has a lovable cast, the fact that it never takes itself seriously is a plus.Satsuki won my heart
klk was very bad
>>160690611
Perhaps this series has nothing to do with romance at all
>>160690669
I can't even choose between the two sisters. They're both perfect.
>>160690751
There's very clearly something romantic going on between Mako and Gamagoori
>>160690770
Ryuko is the best girl, literally the easiest choice
>>160687238
>>She imagines kissing Ryuko
She actually do it. it's not imagined.
>>This is somehow proof that Ryuko is secretly gay
>secretly
there is nothing secret.
>>160689046
>Yeah because those moments were always so serious and literal, not like they are literally nothing but puns and visual gags
Funny doesn't mean non-canon, anon. If you think story telling through metaphore is binary true/false, you are the idiot.
What mako says is clearly being said in real life, as all the other character react accordingly to what she says. it can be denied.
All the visual gags we see are probably translated with her being very exuberant and moving a lot.
That doesn't mean what she says and her interactions with other aren't canon.
Also, this is an anime, this means the line between visual gag an actual story are often blurred if not inexistant. Anyone who has watched enough anime are aware of this.
If you don't understand that, you would come to the conclusion that 90% of what happens in the anime "Highschool! Kimengumi" isn't canon.
No, it's the Dark Souls of anime.
>>160692363
So still good but an awful fanbase?
>>160691642
Anon can you read? The whole debate is because Mako says she wants to go shopping like normal friends date and what she imagines is a risque date. That's the gag, you are arguing against yourself
>>160677385
Yeah it's pretty good... if that's what you're getting at.
>>160678680
>Its the closest thing to Gainax currently out there
Fucking newfaggots
>>160678321
Kill La Kill is a deconstruction of the magical girl genre
>>160677385
Without getting into meaningless arguements, I really do enjoy Kill la Kill. I like how it looks in general, from the character designs to the color pallette. Story/plot is secondary in a show that is built on the back of big moments that happen in every episode. That isn't to say the plot is bad, but only that it isn't as important as how you feel in the moment. I didn't watch it four years ago because i needed to know all the backstory of the world. I watched the show because I thought it would give me over the top combat and visuals. Satsuki, Ryuko, Mako, Aikuro, the elite 4, and even Nui who I fucking hate are all top tier characters that carry the show. I don't think I'll ever stop loving Ryuko.
Obviously this is all just the bullshit opinion of a stupid anon, but I like this kind of fuckery.
>>160690611
You're alright my dude.
>>160690220
Finally someone speaks the truth.
>>160690220
Me. However, there was a guy at my high school who was convinced that ttgl was the greatest show to ever exist, and I came to have a pretty irrational hatred of it for awhile. I'm over it now after giving it a rewatch, but I still enjoy KLK way more.
>>160677385
No, klk is literally just sonic adventure 2 but with girls instead.
>>160694520
One of my friends thinks TTGL is a masterpiece but didn't like KLK because he felt uncomfortable watching it with other guys.
>>160695650
There was almost no dicks. But at least he is in the minority of "definitely not gay"
>>160677574
sure
