That was fucking intense. Basically, never mess with the Elite 4.

Those jabs must of hurt like hell though. Really great action :3
Ryuko's entrance is again pretty awesome with her trusty bike. I want that bike honestly. It's been awhile since I've seen Satsuki transform so that was refreshing too. The battle is freaking awesome. I have respect for both characters.

Well teh animation doesn't seem to be changing next episode but whatever I guess, I wonder how this was the big climax of the story though?

This week's episode was just ________ and it has been a while since a fight between Satsuki and Ryuuko but it ended in a another stalemate once again. -_-

Next week can't get her fast enough.

Huh...

Trigger better be serious about the second half being the core of the show, because all we have so far is a generally enjoyable Shounen with okay/good characters.

Needless to say, I was hoping for more, both in the show and for the episode.

Well that episode was intense as usual... Ryuko vs Satsuki again :o

Also what's up with crunchyroll falling apart more lately. Delaying Seitokai Yakuindomo by more than 48 hours and the Kill la Kill schedule taking a complete 180 and now it's at 10pm on thurs. nights.

Like the episode, Kill La Kill is unstoppable.

To be completely fair, I haven't seen the subtitled episode, due to delays on the part of crunchyroll. I'm hoping that there's more to this episode that what I could make out.

That, and I did admittedly have extremely high standards for what I was expecting from this episode, based on the info we had before.

I see... well I understand the expectations since this was supposed to be the climax of part 1. I'll have to watch it when it comes out and judge for myself.

I wonder if there's more to the ED than it appears at first glance.. that transition from Red to Blue makes me wonder about Satsuki's role in the future of the series.

It´s not the hype episode we were looking for...But it´s a pretty cool one.

The Devas new uniforms are a clash of feelings for me: I love the new battle designs, specially the inmuta one...But the "street" ones are not that good, just changed their colors to gold (But inmuta with a golden tablet is awesome).

With the preview I think that we will finally know the secret behind kamuis and life fiber

The highlight was Sanageyama's knowledge with the stick *winkwink*.
I haven't laughed this hard for a very long time.

The fight was intense! but as usual it's not the end battle. Mako didn't piss me off this time. For me, this episode was better than the last one and the previous one.

I translated the Daisuki Spanish translation into English via Google Translate (with slight corrections):

"After the fight with Satsuki, Ryuko knows the secret about her father. What secret is that? Ah, I have no time. Look for the announcement on the website of Kill la Kill."

The title is "Why a girl can't help it" or "The girl can't help it".

New goku uniforms FTW! Epic episode. Satsuki is still the shit. Everyone knows fear is stronger than money. Loving Nonon new outfit has to be my favorite. Ever time Ryuuko and Satsuki fight it's great. Thought someone was going to kill someone. I mean those blades was really close to their necks. The ending has me wondering if we will see more of Satsuki. The letters went from red to blue. New Op maybe? Anyway can't wait for next episode.

I'm Italian and I confirm your translation is okay (italian subs are already in, too). Next episode's title in italian was "A girl can't tolerate this".

Anyway very intense episode, I knew anything about announcements and hype, so I enjoyed it a lot. Great action and Nudist Beach's group finally going for the battle. I was just annoyed about the unbalanced battle: in the beginning it was normal Ryuko against transformed Satsuki, then it was transformed Ryuko against transformed Satsuki + Nonon. But afterall that should be okay... they're the bad guys. But the Ryuko-Senketsu interactions are pretty great, so it's a fair 4.5/5 for me. Also loved the air battle and hoped it lasted more.

Can't wait for the next one. I think it will have a new ending, rather than a new opening. Well, amazing that european subs come out before english subs, anyway...

A shit load of action. The fight against Satsuki on the tower was so fucking epic.
But as Satsuki said, a surprise attack wont work twice.

What the sensei said at the end was interresting. He know an hidden truth and will tell to Ryuuko. Maybe he will tell her about Satsuki mom?

Also, the sensei mecha was hilarious xD

Damn, such an intense fight on a apocalyptic battlefield, quite the entertainment.

LOL the Crab battle part was funny when he penetrated it many times XD. Yay Ryuko got Senketsu back, with the power of friendship huh. Well Satsuki still want to fight Ryuko for obvious reasons.

Oh yeah such amazing battle ost's in here, great episode as usual.

Good fight, was cool to see satsuki and ryuko on the same level.
But I finally see the biggest flaw of the show in this episode: THERE IS NO PROGRESS.
What was the point of senketsu getting ripped only to come back an episode and a half later?
I still love this anime, but I really wish there's something to show for it after the episode is over.
When satsuki said "You're all flash and no substance." I thought of KLK as a whole lol

Oh my god...

...after that bore-fest that was episode 14 this episode was just...

I just might break out into a serious fever with how much excitement what I just saw has caused me.

Just...what the fuck? Why is this such a pattern with the show? After episode 4 (throwaway) we had episode 5 (3rd best battle scenes of the show after this ep and episode 3 boss fight). After episode 6 (Sanageyama shouting that shit over and over to flashing pics and sfx) we had episode 7 (Mako fight).

With every average episode the show follows with a thrilling one.

And now next episode's preview shows Senketsu and Satsuki reacting with shock?!

And was that a glimpse of Satsuki's papa?

How am I going to make it till next Thursday? How?

TELL ME! HOOOOOOW?!

It's not enough that I gotta wait a few days now I have to wait the few days out with a fever too?!

A Kill la Kill induced fever? Kill la Fever?!

GAH!

Best Episode EVER.

PS. It seems Gamagoori x Mako shipping was right given the number of times he reacted to her presence on the battlefield and the way he said "Even if it's you".

I wonder if Kill la Kill will go the aging route like Gurren Laggan did.

Older Ryuuko and Satsuki? Aww yeah give me pantsu!

I actually was expecting to be disappointed from what I've heard from other people, but my fears were quelled.

While this episode definitely lacks plot progression, it makes up for it with the action which it delivered in spades, and more awesome OST. Looks like next episode preview will finally begin to tie up the plot threads (heh) that developed from the first half of the show.
