I enjoyed the explanation of how her suit actually works. Also the tennis match was interesting.

And from what I've seen for episode 3 it looks like it'll be mad hype. Can't wait to see it.

Did anyone see the cats "making love" around 9:30. I was like... wut,

Her homeroom teacher is BANGIN' and his poses killed me.
This show is so over the top. I love it.

Outside of the Manservice spoof and Satsuki ending exchange I felt it was weaker than EP1. The tennis fight/match was kind of meh, maybe because I felt like I blinked once and it was already over. Granted the tennis girl was just fodder anyways but felt like boxer guy had a better exchange with Ryuuko.

Nice to get some more info Ryuuko's oufit works.

So glad Satsuki stepped in and brought some real intensity. EP3 already looks like it will be better by focusing on her a little more.

Too much fanservice. The funny thing is that many people compare this with Gurren lagann LOL TTGL has funny moments but the plot was serious, KlK is just a comedy (very stupid and demential comedy, I would say) with fanservice,nothing else. I don't know why everyone are excited.

Are we thinking about the same Gurren Lagann? The one that CLEARLY took a few episodes to hit its stride storywise?

The first three episodes of Kill la Kill are confirmed to simply be the introduction arc. Episode 3 is going to be the clencher, the one where everything ramps up in terms of quality, so be patient. Stop trying to compare the full TTGL series to two episodes of KLK.

Kamina was a great character, and appeared in the first episode. Instead, KlK's characters are silly and boring (above all Mako). The fanservice was also much lower in TTGL.

I don't find the characters boring, especially Ryuko. She's actually been quite refreshing as both a female protag and a "revenge-archetype" character. But hey, opinions differ.

My very exact sentiment. Take the stick out of your asses people.


Yes! YES!!! Bolded this for extra emphasis

I wanna say if you prudes (wanted to say something nastier) don't like the fanservice, GTFO because it's gonna be thrown in your face every episode. Don't tell me every week a bunch of you are gonna be coming back complaining about the fanservice again and again. Seriously, do us a favor and stop watching expecting the fanservice to suddenly disappear, it ain't going anywhere

Don't know if I can make this any clearer but I'll try

THE FANSERVICE IN THIS SERIES IS OTT AND IS INTENDED TO BE SO. IT'S A GAG, A LOT OF THE SHOW'S HUMOR DERIVES FROM ITS' FANSERVICE (e.g. the no-star students gawking at Omiko's naked body after she was beaten by Ryuko)

Moving on...

Unlike some, I can appreciate that even with a semi-serious plot that this anime never wants to take itself too seriously and even so it could easily get serious at any point and probably will

I could list the amusing shit in this ep if I wanted and I don't even know if all of it is intended to be funny but the highlight for me would be how insane Mako's family is. I actually lost my shit at the whole scene at their house it was too good

Seems like there's a little hype for the upcoming battle in episode 3. I'm anticipating something potentially really good here for the next ep

Yeah, because Yoko's tits really supported and emphasised the deepness of the TTGL plot, you guys really do make me laugh sometimes.

Bitch please. How is the plot even remotely silly? And what makes TTGL plot so amazing in comparison?

Ryuko's fighting against the oppressive student council that are apparently linked to her dad's murder. And said council appears to have communistic control over the entire region. If you ignore the comedy aspects, there's nothing wrong with the plot at all and is something that could hold its own even in a show that took itself more seriously

If you dislike something, at least give legit reasons as to why instead of that bullshit you just spat, thanks

I agree, that right now KlK doesn't have as awesome plot/characters as TTGL. Though, it's been only 2 Eps.....Maybe it will become as great as TTGL or something better, at some point.

Who knows.

Yup, Satsuki is more the main rival to the protagonist - the one who's pushing Ryuuko to her limits and making her to show her true power, while the real bad guy has yet to show up.

Again, what was the "great plot" of TTGL at episode 2? I recall it being something like this:

"Ay yo niggas we on da surface!"
"Aw snap, got us some cuh-razy robots up here yo."
"DADDY WHERE YOU AT"
"DUDE WHY IS THIS LEERON GUY TOUCHING MY NAUGHTY PLACES"
"Yoko's looking fiiiiine! For a 14 year old!"
"OH WOW THERE YOU ARE DADDY :("
"Jacking this pimped out robot right here yo, gonna name it RED. Cuz it's RED."

The plot in TTGL took time to develop, as did the characters. Trigger isn't going to make something on the level of Gurren Lagann in only two episodes. Give it time.

Now I know why the ED looks so familiar... it was a tribute to the ED of the legendary tokusatsu drama Sukeban Deka featuring Saito Yuki !!

http://blog-imgs-61.fc2.com/y/a/r/yaraon/tumblr_murp8cNpre1qzh542o1_1280.jpg
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

LOL, over on the fanservice thread I mentioned that this was a parody of Sukeban Deka, but I hadn't realized that it was this direct. Well done for finding this, raises the appreciation level for this show higher.

I'm kind of starting to see where this show is heading despite it being so early. The thing is, I'm having a love hate thing going on. Trigger not disappointing me in a lot of areas, and then falling short of my expectations in others. Alas, I'll see where it goes from here. Looking forward to the next!

I like that it keeps throwing fanservice. This show is better with it. The fanservice of her outfit makes the whole crazy fight more enjoyable since things are over the top and unrealistic anyway and the man-service was actually the only really funny moment in the show.

People trying to play all moral or conservative etc are ridiculous. Fanservice isn't always bad and is perfect for this show, you are just blind fools going around trying to "fit in" by saying how fanservice is supposedly bad.

So Satsuki has a godrope too. Thank you preview for spoiling it already.
Btw i have a feeling she ain't the real villain here and she's a little like that drill king in TTGL. She may even team up with our main later on.

Basically the same crowd yelling EPIC while watching TTGL. But i laugh at some TTGL fans getting disappointed cause this isn't any worse until now in any shape or form.

Wow, another crazy episode XD Mako has quite the family doesn't she? O_O What an interesting mom and dad ... and of course that brother too :P
Next up seems like we've got the tennis captain ... uh, what's with that eyeglass thing she's wearing? XD Pretty funny lol :P
OH MY GOD HER HOMEROOM TEACHER XD I totally thought he was in the student council too and he was just posing ... but nah that's just another guy with a similar hairstyle XD LOVE his poses oh my god ... he's taking over the "bishie" role isn't he? LOL ;P
That tennis battle sure was uh ... interesting o_O Seems like she had a pretty easy time winning once she used her scissors ... well I guess that's her "secret weapon" :P Satsuki has a god uniform thing as well? :O Plus they were made by her dad? What the heck ... and it only works when it drinks her blood O_O
