Not sure how they are going to make this all make sense in the end. Seems they had the mc fighting on a practically equal level as the final boss...yet we have to believe that her underlings (who are obviously nowhere close to her level) will make for difficult opposition for Matoi for the next several eps. Oh well, not like that is reason enough to drop it, so I shall find out.

This show is so not what I expected it to be... but I absolutely LOVE IT!!!
Bring on the rest, my body is ready!

By the way, it feels like Satsuki and Ryuuko will team up later on :)

BEST EPISODE SO FAR!!!!

To be honest I was actually thinking of dropping this. The first and second episodes didn't really impress me that much, but this definitely did.

Feels like its following a similar format like TTGL. Kiryuin Satsuki doesn't seem to be the final boss at all, and perhaps might end up teaming up with Ryuko in the end.
5/5 ep for me.

Nice EP...maybe I am reading too much into it,but could the full activation of Senketsu,which required to be accepted without any embarrassment be metaphore for doing what you want without being ashamed,accepting it and "making it part of your skin",being true to yourself and not being frightened of what society thinks about you?
In short,being proud following your dream.

I might have not put it right into words,but I hope you understood.

I can see why people in the pre-screening for this episode said it's very impressive because it really is. Well, I don't really have many complaints as the underlying themes are being shown more clearly. I just couldn't connect the dots as well as I could in this episode before. Looking forward to more.

Like others have mentioned, I'm not a huge fan of all the ecchi, but nearly every other aspect of the show is fantastic. I'm not sure the show would even be the same without the ecchi at this point because it appears it may actually service the plot somehow, so I'm gonna have to roll with it. At least fanservice with actual context (like Araragi's POV shots in -Monogatari) is easier to stomach than T&A merely for shits and giggles.

My expectations for this show were high going in, and so far, they've been met. TTGL is a hard act to follow, but I'm confident that this will be every bit as good. Even the story, which is fairly typical at this point, is sure to reach for loftier heights.

Those uniform transformations were so much 'mahou shoujo'...

The fanservice though was so increased to the point of being unnecessary. Not even TTGL had that much of fanservice. Despite that, the episode was good and we got to know a little more about Satsuki. She is obvious not the main villain but more likely a rival. I wonder if she is just brainwashed by her clan in acting this way.

I guess it will take many more episodes for Ryuko to face Satsuki again since she will have to go against all those enemies. And I wonder if there is going to be a time-skip in here as well like in TTGL.

Its too over the top too early...Too much is going on, its too crazy, and it needs to slow down a little. Even when this show tries to be serious its hard to take seriously. Gurren Lagann was over the top sure, but it wasn't this over the top this early. It built itself up and had some slower moments. This is too much... :/

Really? I mean it was over the top for sure, but for me it felt comparable to when Simon and Kamina first combined. As long as they don't blow up cities within the first 10 episodes Ill be okay :P

Yeah, I just thought it was a little too much. Simon and Kamina combining for the first time wasn't this big. Still, it was enjoyable for me at least. I just wish it was less over the top.

Haha I guess xD. Wanna bet if they go beyond the scale of destroying just buildings :P? and Like dragonshade said, its probably going to be like Gurren Lagann where the plot changes drastically.

This anime having the balls to go all out so early in the series allows it to stand out from the crowd, we should be encouraging this kind of direction. Very rarely do we get this kind of impact from a battle so early in a series

Already it's got the attention of many, even the naysayers whining about ass and titties are unable to dismiss this kind of epicness, and now they're all crawling back XD

What an ep though. First half went in a little more depth on Satsuki and the Kamui's origins. Then the second half literally blew the fuck up. That's just about the perfect episode at this point. As if the OST needs a mention as well, the arrangement of "DON'T LOSE YOUR WAAAAAAY" blew my mind. Sawano = Genius

Agreed.

Some nice Satsuki moments we have here.

So far this show has been pretty blatant with its Third Reich analogies and it really isn't hard to see what it applies to: The pursuit of World Dominance on the Student Council's side along with unethical human experimentation. The aforementioned theme of purity is also applicable in this instance.
Not unlike how the Nazi government claimed purity for itself Satsuki's definition of purity is pretty twisted taking all her actions into account. While her motifs and ambitions are genuine and clear as day to see there is absolutely nothing "pure" regarding her way of governing and treatment of the powerless.

I seem to be quoting you a lot today, but best comment in all the 5 pages so far :) Since I'm still really unsure what to think about this anime, it's always nice to see what it references or other meanings and symbolisms that goes right over my head as I watch it. Thank you for your insights, I epecially like the Third Reich parallel you spoke of, and even the contrast between Satsuki and Ryuuko.

Anyways, epic fight scenes this week, enhanced by Sawano's compositions. Never stop working with Kobayashi Mika please. More lol stripping sensei scene, though far less over the top than last week. And wow, uh, those outfits o_o

I was just about to lose interest in this show, but it's just so much fun to watch! Kill la kill is not to be taken too seriously. :D I don't even care about all the oppai exposure anymore as long as I get my man half naked each episode. Satsuki's boobs though, all that flailing made my own boobs hurt. It looks freakin painful. They also snuck in CGI... not that I really mind since it was done well.

I'm liking Satsuki more and more each episode! She sooo reminded me of Boa Hancock when she was leaning backwards stomping in those heels.

It's like mecha but instead of mechs you get outfits and instead of upgrading through more drills, you upgrade through losing more clothes. The anime's over-the-top and for that, I love it. If TTGL is to tell, the show will only get more epic even if it looks like it's reached it's maximum epicness.

The fanservice seems kind of excessive, but there's manservice too so all's well in the world. Regardless i'm going to tolerate it because it looks like there's plot happening now.
Also, Mako is hilarious. She's my favorite character in this show.

I laughed a lot during this episode, both at the fanservice parts and others. The action scenes were completely absurd, yet still very easy to follow, so I liked that. And this show is apparently being made on a low budget if the previous episode is any indication. I'm impressed and if the show ended right here, right now, I wouldn't mind. Now I'm just worried that they won't be able to go anywhere from here.

I haven't been this hype for a fight in a LONG TIME. That was GODLIKE. Honestly one of my favorite fights in an anime, that was amazing. And shameless fanservice everywhere, Satsuki didn't give a crap and Ryuko finally awakened too. Damn those clothes got tight, haha. What an anime
