| Could tone down on the fanservice imo, might as well be wearing a bikini xD. Still a really interesting episode, it gave better impressions that the PV. The art style is quite intriguing but i guess it works well and the fight scenes were better done than i had hope (had low standards as to not be disappointed). So now just hoping that they'll keep monologues randomly popping up in the middle of fights to a minimum. |
| I like how she blushes with the outfit on, never really seen that before. |

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. +1, quality post Also, people surprised by the fan service are forgetting Yoko completely. |

This is hardly a new phenomenon, it happens with each season, or did you think SnK, SAO or whatever derp hype anime were also over the top and the fans where just living the mood of the series. |

Very nicely put Araby, I have to admit I was caught up by the episode, and just like you said was taken up by the "hype" you just mentioned. If I were to rationally put it, I like to enjoy anime like this where logic is literally thrown out the window (its not like I hate logical anime), but its like watching a good sports games at the climax. You just get swept up by the flow of the game. Right now its highly rated for me but of course it will fluctuate depending on the direction the anime decides to take. Who knows? It could beat Gurren Lagann or it could turn out really bad only time will tell. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Damn, just damn this was some real godlike epic ass shit right here:D Love it when Ami gets to play more tough characters and combine it with that embarrassed feeling when Ryuuko got that outfit just so good:D |
| I loved almost every minute of it. Fanservice could be toned down a bit but I will let it slide because hell, that was glorious. |

I'm sorry but this TTGL fanboy is probably serious and the same goes for the some of the people in this thread. I doubt that's the case, but even if it were, those types of comments belong in this thread (for the reason I just stated). It's pointless to try and call out something that doesn't need to be called out.This is hardly a new phenomenon, it happens with each season, or did you think SnK, SAO or whatever derp hype anime were also over the top and the fans where just living the mood of the series. I guess you didn't understand my post, lol. The whole point is that Kill la Kill isn't like Snk, SAO, and whatever else, in that there are elements of comedy/parody. Those shows were mostly if not entirely serious (I haven't seen much of AoT, but I've read a lot about it). So yes, this is completely different from the regular hype you're talking about. |

| Episode 1 was pretty good! Though I don't see how that steel "uniform" protected her. |
| Can't help but to feel like I've watched some utterly crazy version of Saint Seiya just now. I like it. |

Unlike Hype trains like Guilty Crown, SAO, and SnK, this one is VERY self-aware and it won't collapse if it tries to take itself too seriously when shit hits the fan and goes all edgy (overexagerrated character deaths etc.). |

| very very "cool" |
 |
| Well that was awesome. It's just like Gurren Lagann, in that nothing makes any freakin sense, and I'm okay with that. So far 9/10 |

| It was great. Loving the animation style, the characters, and all the other weird shit going on. I'm really looking forward to more. |
| I can feel the manliness!!! The sexy, sexy manliness!!! |
 |
| The animation quality this season is off the roof! First Kyoukai no Kanata, now Kill la Kill. The anime industry is raising the standards big time. Time to fap. |
| That was so AWESOME! And it kinda remind me of Seto no Hanayome and Devilman. |
| ... |
| Lol what kind of school is this?!! This was a very good first episode though because everything was so over the top and weird. I kind of wish her outfit wasn't so revealing though.. |
 |
| I don't really like how it has been so far, but maybe that's just my opinion. Definitely going to continue watching it tho. |
 |
| All I can say is BASED SAWANO YOU GOD. The OST's my biggest like in this anime right now. Not a fan of the fanservice, and I've gotten past the age of fanboying over flashy fights already, but damn, this anime does what it wants to do awesomely! |
| Is this the most overhyped TV series of this season already, so far? It has potential to become the most overrated one of this season too. Will watch it tomorrow/tonight, no reason to rush. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |

| So SEXY, I am going to faint! |

| I love the action. And the uniform thing is interesting. |
| Based Trigger saving anime 1 frame at a time |
 |
| Really liked the first Episode :) |
| I have been waiting for this forever AND FINALLY IT IS HERE. First episode was so action packed, animation and art is amazing, woah this is just awesome. |
| wow gay |
| Tone down the fanservice. |
| получить деньги моего друга |
| haha awesome. The pace is insanely fast, maybe a little too much, but I guess it fits the chaotic nature of the city. Great humor, great action, and already so many great characters. Love everything about it artwise, this show definitely has the potential to be one of the all time great animes! |
| This needs to be 2 cour, pleeease, then again, That was friggin intense. |

| Over the top + nice concept. Although the animation could have been even more fluid. Then again, you need more budget, Trigger. The sasuga was nice still. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| So , Kill la Kill is trully a "killer" of the season Ba dum bass |

| Waaaay too over the top for my liking. Fantastic music and decent action though. Fanservice was nice as well. |

| The animation style is like little witch academia, I was totally not expecting that. Eating a lemon like an apple 0_0 What a sexy sailor(?) outfit :p |
| Uh cool? I think? I dunno, I'm trying to trace what I just watched. I mean it was weird, not in a bad way, but in a weird way and I can't really lie and say I wasn't entertained either Thumbs up? Yeah I guess. If I dislike an anime I'll auto-reject and stop watching before its over, I didn't feel any urge to stop watching. Good on Trigger if they can keep this consistent though. It feels like it could lose its way really easy, so far so good I suppose |
Uber_Dewber said: Puts you right into the action, looks like they were intending for a strong start. At first, I was drawn in.. but then comes the fanservice. It's not that I "hate" fanservice, it's just that it makes things slightly less serious for me. Thus, I can't take the anime as serious as I was hoping to. Will watch the next few episodes though just to see where it's going. They know the outfit is ridiculous, that's why they made fun of it. it's not intended to be fanservice, and most likely has a real purpose. I don't understand why lightly dressed girls are always seen as fan service... forcing the label fan service on it just keeps sexism alive. a better choice would be to grow the fck up |

| This is kind of stupid and the animation fluctuations constantly between looking shit and looking amazing but this is pretty entertaining and very good at distracting me from my own thoughts since its so high paced so I will be waiting for the next episode. |
