Crime Edge -> Inu Hasami -> Kill la Kill

LOL
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Ryuuko's god uniform mode: http://i.imgur.com/h9K5iVC.jpg

Concept art version.

another visual:

http://i.imgur.com/c2PkDOW.jpg (man that architecture looks nice)

God Uniform: Senketsu
-When Ryuuko's body and mind is pushed to its limits and her blood burns hotter than fire itself, the true power of the living uniform is awakened. Ryuuko and Senketsu's bodies become one and inmesurable power starts flowing through their veins. With the God Cloth Senketsu, Ryuuko is able to change reality and alter the destiny of the world.

-Even if the appearance of the God Cloth Senketsu is embarassing, its power is unmatched. Ryuuko can't control the power by herself so Senketsu acts as her precision support.


God Uniforms: God-like powers (Satsuki, she lives in the highest tower of the city)
Three Star Uniforms: Reality bending powers (The Four Devas; they live in the tower of the student council, they have absolute freedom to do whatever they want as long as they don't go against Satsuki's ideals)
Two Star Uniforms: Super powers (they work directly under the three star uniforms in accordance to their skills and personalities, they live in the dormitories)
One Star Uniform: Augmented abilities (the "stormtroopers", they're student council members, they live in the training headquarters)
No Star Uniforms: No powers (Mako, the other loser kids without "talents" according to Satsuki, they live in the shitty slums and are basically the "prey" for the stronger students)

Ryuuko only needs the God Uniform Supeer form to fight Satsuki and the Four Kings.

The ED theme is called "Sorry, I'm not going to be a good girl".

Wow, what is this fashion?! The "mouth" of that monster dress just suddenly "disappears" into that tiny string LOL. I've seen swimwear less revealing than this :D

Btw, this is certainly a unique look of costume design in anime. Trigger really impresses me

That's more like it was in neontaster's post than your post then... I thought you meant pic link you put in your post... Besides, neontaster put the link without mentioning it is the senketsu. You mentioned senketsu without linking it to that pic. And this is why I posted the pic and made the connection. Or perhaps you meant your whole post to refer to the link in neontaster's post - if that's the case, then my bad for not getting it.

Tbh I don't really care I was just giving you a hard time because I'm bored hahaha. It would be nice to have bbcode back for images though.

New poster: http://i.imgur.com/6n1wHiu.jpg (basically a bigger version of the image in newtype) textless version: http://imgur.com/sx2U7mw

Looks like the people on the left are team Ryuuko and the right is obviously team Satsuki.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A translated interview with Ryuuko (Koshimizu) and Satsuki's (Yuzuki) seiyuus from this page http://i.imgur.com/a8ijIzs.jpg

Newtype said:
Q: So the afureko is well on its way, but what are your thoughts on the show after voicing your part?

Koshimizu: It's a really hot-blooded Showa-era anime. During my childhood, there were a lot of anime shows where hot-blooded main characters would duke it out and speak to each other through their fists. And now I'm participating as a seiyuu in that kind of anime! I really love it (laughs)!

Yuzuki: There are a lot of shows these days with thin lines and a "light" kind of feel to them, but KLK is "thick". There's some broadness here.

Koshimizu: And Mako's family has a Showa-ish atmosphere to them, too. The whole family is bouncing all over the place (laughs). They're the healing factor, the foil of this show. On the other hand, the entire cast is gorgeous. I can't get enough of them.

Yuzuki: KLK is an original story, so of course we don't know how things will develop in the plot. And we're very excited every time. When you think of the Imaishi-Nakajima combo, you definitely get a "TTGL" impression - but even on top of that, this whole project feels fresh. When we saw the first episode for rehearsal purposes, I was blown away.

Koshimizu: I got goosebumps too, when I saw the episode at home for the first time. I couldn't stop trembling. I thought to myself, "you got yourself involved in something too amazing"!

Yuzuki: Naturally it was footage for rehearsing with, so it didn't have any sounds, but even then I was like "awesome!" And I was talking with the other cast members about this, but we can hardly imagine what the final product would be like.

Koshimizu: Also, when I was reading the script I couldn't understand some parts very well. But when we saw the episode, I understood everything. It's not just the scenarios: everything combines well to MAKE this project. That's the feeling I got from KLK.

Yuzuki: And they're things you can't do without animation. Characters that you can't really express, the action, the story - they have to be anime. This show's packed with those kinds of things. That's why I think it's insanely awesome (laughs).

Dat hype.

Oh my god their voices fit them perfectly, that insert song is most definitely by Mika Kobayashi who is almost always featured in Sawano's OSTs. My hype level to the max right now!

I love the character designs. I'm not big on some of the dialogue, though. And that "tough guy" student council member has an annoying voice. I hope he dies, lol.

As mentioned this series is supposed to be somewhat of a throwback to the 80's/90's anime, something like a TTGL with chicks instead of robots.

I'm guessing you haven't seen Gurren Lagann?
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

First episode reactions from those who went to the pre-air event:

>My soul and body trembled; this is going to become a legendary anime.
>It was just 24 minutes long, but I was completely overwhelmed. I don't have one single complaint! Oh, and Ryuuko was much cuter than I expected.
>Nothing about it was half-assed; animation and heat were full-force from beginning to end. Everything was fucking cool.
>Everyone NEEDS to watch this when it comes out in TV next week.
>It's old-school but at the same time refreshing; non-stop sexy violence from beginning to tend. This show will raise the far for hot-blood in anime.
>I'm glad it was 2D, if it had been 3D I would have died from excitement.
>It was like a non-stop rollercoaster; an incredible amount of content for one episode. Extremely interesting.
>So fucking good! I wanna cosplay Ryuuko. (btw, I'm a dude)
>It was like getting your body and whole body shaken repeatedly; super exciting! I can't wait to watch it again.
>First episode?! It was like watching a movie!
And many variations on the same overwhelmingly positive feeling.

I am too Hyped for this ( Gurren Lagann Season 2) anime :D
Simon's Daughter VS Rossiu's Daughter
any ideas about :

1- How many Episodes will it be? 13 like most seasonal anime or 26??

2- Any one afraid from budget problems / bad animation / Gainax Ending ? I am afraid of that, it could ruin the show.. I hope Imaishi (the infamous troll) had taken that to consideration

^ For your question 1 the best information that came out (by people calling the TV stations to find out) is that it will be an 1-cour show.

You guys are hyped? This anime delivers.

It was AMAZING.
I really didn't expect that, I thought I would simply like the show and sigh at Western fans getting too excited but damn, I already love this show. The problem is, I have serious doubts about how long will its energy last. If they can manage whole cour or however long is it supposed to be, Kill la Kill will be a masterpiece.
