Tsukuyomi-Ryuku said: You gotta be a Gurren Lagann fan to like this and considering I ain't one I'm dropping this. You gotta love mainstream anime that gets shown in America, and have the most underground following to not like this show. Am i right? |
| Glorious Titties Nuff Said! Make America Great Again! |
| The only good thing to "counteract" the blatant Gainax-style fanservice is the fact that Ryuko did not like what she was wearing...but then the fact that she was blushing intensely while wearing that talking seifuku adds another layer of fanservice, doesn't it? Considering the writer behind Gurren Lagann is behind Kill La Kill's story, I'll stay along for the ride. Trigger's insane action sequences and over-the-top art style also want me to keep watching. |
| GODAMN THAT SHIT WAS FUCKING HOT NIGGA |
| Lmao, right at the beginning, comedy gold. Great first episode, can't wait for more. |

Dont get me wrong, like I said I thought this episode was decent but the way people are hyping this is starting to get kinda annoying. And his videos arent bad because his opinions are wrong...i mean more than half the time hes dead off and always inconsistent but they are bad because he relied on essentially one joke of "LOL LOOK THIS IS STUPID" while painfully trying to be funny in just downright cringe worthy voices and delivery. He basically acts like a anime version of avgn but with even worse delivery. and on top of all that he basically panders to the crowd that want to be different than whatevers big at the moment and thats probably why his videos are so horrible, its just pandering. I remember his sword art online reactions being even harder to watch than the actual show |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| holy shit, that didnt waste any time did it? 20 seconds in an were already at top gear. i dare say that was nearly as good as ep 1 of TTGL. jesus christ. haven't been this excited for an anime ever. that was a solid 9.5/10 episode. simply cannot wait for next week anime status: fucking saved |
 |
| It feels like I'm watching history be made. So exciting! If it stays this awesome, then I'm gonna be veeery happy for the next few months. |
 |
| Amazing first episode. Another anime with scissors, keeping the tradition going. |
 |
| Well that wasn't half bad, it was actually...pretty good.I have a feeling things are happening too fast and are too chaotic though. Also, Ryuuko is SO HOTTT in that outfit. |
 |
| Fuck yeah, looks like my Thursday afternoons for the next 6 months just got awesome. |
| Great first episode, the animation is fucking awesome. |
| That was so fucking great. |
| I think people complaining about "overhype" are missing the point completely. Kill la Kill, much like TTGL, is so fun to watch because it consciously kicks logic to the curb and makes every little thing absurdly grand. It hypes itself up and it acknowledges that it's doing so, practically scene by scene. All this "ANIME IS SAVED," "11/10," "#basedtrigger," and so forth, is just fans doing the exact same thing that the show is doing. Getting into the mood of a show is completely natural. In this case, the resulting statements are such that, when taken seriously, they might mislead people into believing that all Kill la Kill fans have shit taste and think that they know everything about an anime after one episode. Obviously, that's not actually the case and people are just having fun. tl';dr, by taking the "overhyping" seriously, you're missing the point of Kill la Kill itself. |

| Well that was quite a ride! Lol. Animation was awesome but I find the setting a bit hard to grasp...Reminded me a bit of Soul Eater To be honest though, it was a bit over the top for it to be a favorite of mine(I like more mellow, serious anime) but im still going to watch just to see where it takes me. |
| What I first episode I may say, at first it freaking scared me and I almost instantly dropped it. But then it starting to make a little bit of sense, still WHAT A FIRST EPISODE! Looking forward for next ep! |
| It's cool... but does the main character has to be this full on fanservice-y? That now every episode in the fights where she has red cheeks all the time because of her own outfit? Argh... I didn't mind the little bit of fanservice in TTGL because I watched it for the epic over the top battles and I hoped this would be the same. The uniform didn't even look like that when she found it. I hoped it would somehow maybe 'grow' and get stronger after absorbing the string of the other uniform after the fight... but nope. =/ I know it's stupid but with every battle scene now is all about that stupid fanservice uniform I will probably really start to hate it, even more because TTGL is one of my favorite animes of all time. |

| There is never a dull moment. Lovely. Especially Ryuko's uniform! Wow. This is way better than I expected. Gimme more!! |

| THE SAME VOICE ACTOR WHO DOES MUGINO SHIZURI FROM RAILGUN S DOES THE MC OF THIS SHOW. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH This show is really a lot of fun, and that's it. Which is why I'm liking it at the moment, seeing as how from the preview, it looks like it'll just be epic fight scenes from now on! |
| Woah this is so awesome at first i was like woah is this cartoon and after i saw the whole anime i was amazed its was awesome I kind a like the fights its like awesome so its a battle of Uniforms that boxing dude sure got his ass kick |
| Phew, after jumping up and downing screaming "the guys at mal are right! anime is saved!" I've calmed down and want to give my opinion. HOLY SHIT that was great. It reminds me of TTGL, there will be an enemy of the week (this week boxer guy, next week tennis girl) and then later on they'll probably get deep into the story. Iirc the writers of the show said that the aim to blow all our clothes off and everything'll start to make clear sense later. I don't know, nor do I care, I'm in it for the ride! |
| This episode is just over the top. I'm looking forward to seeing how Trigger will be able to keep the feel of this episode consistant throughout the entire show and hopefully, they will be able to do this. |
| Thank you based Trigger. I thought this'd flop but it was great from the first episode. OST sounds like it's gonna be really good and all the main characters so far are interesting. After that disappointing start from KnK and Coppelion, things are looking good for fall season. |

Yeah, I feel the same way. Unfortunatly I never had a chance to watch other animes made by Trigger, so perhaps its my fault the fact I like this anime less than most people here since I was probably expecting something different than what it is suposed to be, I was expecting an action show and the truth is that the action scenes at the end of the episode were used like a cheap excuse to show fanservice. |

| I like it Action was pretty nice and it's nice to have a different style of art. But mostly I was surprised to see all the fanservice, didn't expect that. |

| As expected great fast-paced over the top action scenes Don't really like the art and the animation was a bit lame But fortunately the protagonist is really likable Feel more toward watching western cartoon that anime imo I'm not sure yet if it could be the next gurenn lagann Pretty good start, but calling it "anime is saved" is too much |
| good episode, will definitely keep watching. I thought mako was hilarious though :P IDK if it was just me but i didn't really like how the action scenes were done...was hoping for more fluid movements in the fights. The boxing guys was really annoying though. |
| its finally here! great episode! |
Raito said: THE SAME VOICE ACTOR WHO DOES MUGINO SHIZURI FROM RAILGUN S DOES THE MC OF THIS SHOW. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH How did I not notice that :( But I only see the MC about 10 times more badass now since I recognize meltdowner's voice,dammit! |
| Easily the most entertaining show of the season. Fanservice threw me off a bit, but as long as it's not all about the boob service, and focuses more the plot, I think I'd keep watching. Interesting to see a show that feels more like an oldie instead of a new anime. Great voice acting also. |
| For the first 2 minutes I thought this was FLCL... OT: That was a chaotic episode, really fast paced and tons of action. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| Amazing... |

Trigger is new; they haven't made any anime prior to this, besides the OVA that was Little Witch Academia and the ONA series Inferno Cop. But the staff behind KLK are the ones who made TTGL so they have experience. This was GREAT. Satsuki and Uzu are already my favourites and AHHH RYUUKOOOOO. Thank god this lived up to the hype (so far), I'm glad I put my faith in Trigger. |

My mistake then, but my point still stands, I was expecting something different than what this show is trying to be |
|
| Dayum, that was intense ! |
| This was really badass. I love how it's built completely out of generic anime tropes that are turned up to 1000. My only gripe is, when I first saw Ryuko I was like, "Awesome, a badass female MC who isn't overly sexualized" and then, BAM! Bikini battle outfit. |

| this anime. i just idk. i saw the first minute and was thoroughly confused. ITS EPIC THOUGH. funny in a ridiculous way lol. definitely gonna continue watching |
