Kill la Kill
| This is definitely the most polarizing anime of the Fall 2013 season, as tons of people love it yet lots of people dislike it. Personally, I can see the argument for both sides, as I have neutral feelings towards this show. I am jealous of the people who are able to mindlessly enjoy this action-packed series, because unfortunately, I can't. Everything is just slightly above average to me as of now. The over the top ridiculousness matched my expectations, but it bored me. The mindset I went into this show is "correct", so why can't I seem to be absorbed into the action? I am a fan of action, but in this anime, I don't find it very interesting. I guess I will have to keep watching this, because everyone else is apparently doing so. Can anyone offer insight on why certain people like me just can't enjoy what many people call a masterpiece? |

| Don't. Be a smart man and analyze the shit out of it. Because it might actually suck, and you don't know it yet. |
| You should always, always, always try to judge a show based off of what the show itself is trying to achieve. Judging it based off what you WANT it to achieve is a hilariously bad way to review. Even with that advise, it's not like everybody likes the same things, and frankly, most of the people calling it a masterpiece after 1 episode are simply overhyping the show for hype purposes. |
| you don't have to turn your brain off, that's just a saying people use to describe enjoying this type of show that clearly doesn't follow the physics of our world. Don't look at it as shutting your brain off, think of it as zoning into this fictional universes own set of rules and logic. Once you do that you'll be able to appreciate it for what it is. For example one piece is a show about a boy who eats a fruit that grants him the powers to stretch his body in impossible ways. That, and the fact that in our universe he and many other characters would have died several times over, may make it seem like you have to turn your brain off to appreciate it. But really that's just how the universe of one piece works, and it stays consistent. I don't doubt the fine folks at Trigger will flesh out this zany world that they've created. |

| marathon inferno cop, then go back to kill la kill. |

| Most people that are shouting anime is saved and stuff like that are just really into all the action and intensity the episode created. You are not which is perfectly fine. Just keep watching and see if you like it, if you don't then that's okay. Just don't being of those hipsters calling this the worst shit ever. |
| This show is just gonna be Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - Now with uniforms instead of mechs and a main girl with smaller boobs. |
 |
| In short, use your suspension of disbelief. exactly. Read that article. |

| How about smashing your face into a concrete wall repeatedly? |

| There is no need to struggle to like the show. If you can't enjoy the outrageous art style and juvenile humor, it just means the show isn't targeted to you. Find something more up your alley. I immensely disliked Blade Runner, for example, despite it being a 'classic', but I won't lose any sleep over it. |
| Your brain is a necessity in life. I dont think turning it off would be healthy for you. |
Happy Halloween  |
StevenHu said: You haven't seen anything previously made by the creators, namely Dead Leaves, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann series and movies, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. You should also see Little Witch Academia which demonstrates what Trigger is capable of, and FLCL that will help you get used to the fast-paced anime. With no point of comparison it's normal to be at loss at first. Can anyone offer insight on why certain people like me just can't enjoy what many people call a masterpiece? |

StevenHu said: Can anyone offer insight on why certain people like me just can't enjoy what many people call a masterpiece? To be fair the anime only has 1 episode so far, so no one can judge on whether or not it is a master piece. Maybe after seeing a couple more episodes you'll be able to determine if you are into the series or if it just doesn't meet your expectations. At the end of the day it's entertainment, if whatever series your watching doesn't entertain you, there's no way to really force it. How much you enjoy a series is subjective to your preferences. |
| well, i don't like this kinds of anime, actualy i hate it the most, there's no a certain plot or a story line, there's no meaning in watching it, i wonder why people keep talking about it like that, |
 |
| I don't watch a lot of anime series with this style but I'm pretty flexible, I actually enjoyed this show :) |

StevenHu said: I guess I will have to keep watching this, because everyone else is apparently doing so. Can anyone offer insight on why certain people like me just can't enjoy what many people call a masterpiece? Legit. Opinions differ on everything, because they are personal opinions. |
| One day we will come upon each other, and for that day my claws, teeth, ears, hands and hair are at the ready. |
Nariox said: I will never understand why people transform watching anime into a chore that has to be endured somehow. Quoted for fucking truth. Now. Don't turn your brain off. If your brain's off, Hiroyuki Imaishi's stuff is going to go right over your head. No one who liked Gurren Lagann had their brain off - we were focused, we were loving it, we were in it, we were taking it seriously. That's how you enjoy Kill la Kill. |

Entirely wrong. I can see that you haven't paid much attention in your literature classes. What the author meant to say is irrelevant before what emotions or thoughts are triggered in the receiver. If the reader(in this case viewer) doesn't get the message, then the author has done a terrible job. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |

The reason the uniform was down underneath her house or why the teacher knew it was there is not part of the story to you? The relationship between the school president and the person with the other part of the scissors? What's the scissors true powers? What really are the uniforms?well, i don't like this kinds of anime, actualy i hate it the most, there's no a certain plot or a story line, there's no meaning in watching it, i wonder why people keep talking about it like that, It's been one episode and you think you know everything about the story. |

| You've came this far in watching anime. Your brain should already be off. |

| I'm enjoying it a lot. I see it as an over-the-top parody of anime in general. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a deconstruction, it just takes common anime tropes and plays them up to absurd, hilarious extremes. Overpowered student council? This one rules over a quarter of Japan. Mysterious transfer student? There's still some mystery, but she announces her intentions almost immediately. Fanservice? Dialed up to 11, beyond outrageous, and not the least bit 'moe'. And the pacing, it's so energetic. The episode just flies by. The fanservice in anime always tends to bother me, but I guess I have to get used to that outfit. I'm hoping there's some mid-season uniform upgrade that's a little less ridiculous. That's about my only complaint. |
| "straight cash, homie." |
| The first half of episode 1 was enjoyable for me, the second part was bad in my opinion I disliked almost everything in episode 2, I was about to post some of my reactions of the episode in the " Kill la Kill Episode 2 Discussion" thread, but in the end I didnt do it to avoid getting flamed. |

| Have a shot or smoke some bud. |

| Its like a sugar rush x10. Well..... it could just be adrenaline and testosterone. Action + Skimpy wearing girls = mindless fun : ). Concentrate real hard lol |
| breathe deeply and relax |
