| THIS IS INTENSE |
 |
| Lol Satsuki's outfit is more ridonk than Ryuuko's |
 |
| That was a good finale.. oh wait we are still on EP 3!!! |
Syntelle said: Eudaimonia said: This episode confirmed my suspicions that Ruuko's revealing outfit was initially intended to increase the contrast between her and Satsuki among other things. The latter one depicted as the untouchable, cold-headed despot wearing the "wedding dress" presenting purity vs. Ruuko as the hot-blooded riotist who garners lecherous looks by men whereever she goes. Paired with her desire for revenge and her hideout localized in the unhygienic and run-down slums there couldn't be more of a difference between them. All the more striking is the fact that it's Satsuki, corrupted by power and showing nothing but contempt for those under her rule, who is portrayed as a truly despicable being unlike Ryuko who has maintained her humble and good-natured personality despite some violent tendencies. Now though that Junketsu, Satsuki's kamui turns out as an equally revealing outfit the term purity used by Satsuki gains a whole new meaning, that is to wholly embrace even the most humiliating measures. As such it's no surprise that her servants are literally blinded by her aura even when she undresses herself completely. 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'm glad there really is some hidden depth in this show amidst the chaotic action and overbearing fanservice. Thanks to your insights, I can see some significance in the clash between Ryuko and Satsuki and their reasons for dealing with their Kamui. What I do worry about is that this show will follow a villain-per-week formula at the cost of detracting from the plot. What I can say for sure is that even if the story weakens a tier, the outrageous style KLK presents will continue to impress. We're talking about the ultimate dream team that can churn out some of the best animation and music I've seen this year that's on par (or even better than) Production I.G's Attack On Titan. I have high hopes for this series. Looking forward to Thursday from now on. It very easy to miss but there are definitely lots of little details and lots of subtext in this show that get drowned out by the sheer amount of energy and style, many that might even reveal future plot developments. Apparently this show was planned to tackle a rival-per-week formula but the director wasn't satisfied with it and shifted it to more character-drama involving the two antagonistic main characters, so you can be at ease. I have full confidence in the producers that they know what they are doing. |

| At the getting naked n flopping around boobs part for Satsuki I was wondering what the hell kind of show I was watching. It's friggin' ridiculous. But I'm diggin' it. Absolutely adore all of the voice actors. The OST is great, like people have been saying. |
 |
| While I'm not a big fan of the fanservice (hurr), the rest of the show is awesome. Awesome fight, dem TTGL vibes. 5/5 |
| 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 :) |
| Trigger bringing anime back to TTGL levels only they could do it. fucking amazing/10 mrstabhappy said: 9/10 anime is SAVED Plus blu-rays have been announced 1/8/2014 my body is ready. Welp. i know what im buying with the force of a thousand suns come next year. and as others have said. DAT IMPLOSION |
 |
| So absurd and exaggerated I like it! D: This ended with 3 episodes or not |
| *goes to watch* Thank god for MAL. |
Barion-Zara said: Holy Shit! Fanservice OvErLoAd!!! O_O!! And Dat Gainaxing of boobs during the transformations was lol XD ^ what he said. =) |
| 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. |

| Damn Satsuki is always shining like Jesus Christ. The episode was tight. |
 |
| that fight was awesomeeeee! and i guess i'm getting used to the fanservice now |
| 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. |
| "straight cash, homie." |
| This episode makes me what to get naked as well. Ain't no shame in skin. |
| "whats so special about bonzai trees?" "They are the loli of the tree world."  Inganock of the Brightest Flame |
| It's like TTGL but even more ridiculous |

dragonshade said: Have a feeling the plot is gonna be way larger than it currently is. Considering how it played out for gurren lagann I think the same thing Fucking Amazing epd! |
| Glorious Titties Nuff Said! Make America Great Again! |
| Epic... |
| 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... :/ |

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 |
| I really liked this episode |

Still, it was enjoyable for me at least. I just wish it was less over the top. |
| damn the budget skyrocket lol |
| SO FUCKING EPIC!!! WRYYYYYY! |

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 episode reignited my interest in Kill la Kill |
| 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 |
| DON'T LOSE YOUR WAYYYYY~ |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Intense fights scenes were awesome... liked that they gave an explanation about the uniforms, reminded me that this anime actually has a plot and isn't just some girl fighting random people in epic fights all the time. |
| wow gay |
| Nice cliche of "fight everyone else to get to the boss" there |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |

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'm liking Satsuki more and more each episode! She sooo reminded me of Boa Hancock when she was leaning backwards stomping in those heels. Awesome episode again, can't wait for more! |
