It had so much potential in the beginning but then it suddenly became garbage about halfway through. Thoughts?

It's not though. I found it enjoyable, but it did come off as trying too hard.

I actually thought it was really boring at first and it wasn't until the introduction of Ragyou that I became interested in what was actually going on.

I don't know. It tried to take itself seriously and failed and became parody of itself.

Nothing was fun about the show in the second half, objectively speaking of course.

tbh I never saw it having potential until the one episodic episode (where Mako's family became rich) but afterwards, it went back to its normal random storyline.

I expected it to be stupidly over the top and that's pretty much what it was. I didn't think it was going for anything more so I wasn't disappointed. I think it'd help if you explained why you disliked it.

Pretty much. I was only disappointed with the hype and praise it got from everyone I knew. I didn't think it was anything special or that it "saved anime".

Nah man, it's actually very much ahead of the anime industry. Kill la Kill isn't just two half naked girls fighting on a very thin line they call "plot". It's actually a very sophisticated anime telling about the hardships of women and the expectations they have to face in society.

Except everything I said was just an asspull, this anime is literally fanservice.

Personally, I thought 2 things: 1) all the characters were bland as hell and 2) the beginning plot was retarded. "Hey I know youre trying to kill me to get information and I definitely see you as a powerful rival so Im just gonna let you do whatever the fuck you want in my school." It was entirely obvious from the beginning that they would befriend eachother.

To be fair, I don't think anyone who ever says a show "saved anime" actually means it.

Well, I suppose it was more than just fanservice, but still isn't good in anything other than a good entertainment value.

Kill la Kill was so dumb and shallow, that it became intelligent to some people.

The show seemed pretty aware that it was incredibly ridiculous and never took itself seriously and that's what I enjoyed about it. Oh, and it had Satsuki. Solid 7/10.

Da hell the first few episodes were terrible... It redeemed itself at around the halfway point, though I did enjoy episode 7 quite a bit.

Satsuki's was. The way she thought of others, her relationship with her mother, her motivation to do anything and her more soft side regarding her lost sister. Her development was much better than Ryuoko's

Satsuki was well written.

Yea, it was after all, okay... Interesting premise but too over the top. The hype died out now though. They went too far on some of their jokes and absurdity. Too far, especially those titless breasts, seriously, they were emphasized too much. Not to mention Mako Mankanshoku jokes were recurring so often... I didn't find myself laughing, but rather looking forward to the plot to move forward.
7/10 series. The characterization for the main character was there, there was at-least an attempted wrapup. But most of it was pretty repetitive, especially the battles. so it brought the score down.

Hard for me to care about animation of the contents crap.
If I had such low standards I'd watch transformers, same shitty plot, but fluid CGI, not paper animu.

But your soul too will be touched by The Light, sooner or later.

Welp, I don't think you need to rate the character any less harshly to see that Satsuki got a fair amount of fleshing out and good development, which kind of stands out from the rest of the KlK cast.
