Ridiculous.

First episode, got pwned by 1star Goku Uniform wearer.
Second episode, pwned 2 star Goku Uniform wearer easily.
Third episode, fighting on par, or almost on par with the strongest shown so far in that universe.

Not all anime is fanservice, dude.
Obviously but complaining that it exist isn't very smart thing to do. It's like such person misunderstands the medium basing its expectations on very small, hardly representative sample and such practice is wrong. My assumption is further strengthened, or I'd dare to say, basically confirmed by his statement "Why does 90% of todays animes has to be about that stuff?!" proving he knows nothing about the medium he's talking about. Fanservice has always been part of anime and majority of shows have it, to varying extents.

She pwned 1stars effortlessly in first episode. Boxer was 2star. She rose above 2star level since obtaining Senketsu.

Is this gonna be something about Satsuki being curious about Ryuuko's ability to stand up to her? Making the students fight Ryuuko seems to me like a way to train Ryuuko.

Satsuki totally enjoys challenging Ryuuko to a state where she'll be a real match for her. That's why she wants Ryuuko fighting the whole school before facing her and Junketsu again.

Talk about action-packed. I don't think I blinked during that fight 0_o
Watching Ryuuko fight her way to the top is going to be awesome. Can't wait til she fights Gamagoori.

And about the over-the-top fanservise - I think the anime is rated 17 + so everyone who decides to watch, should note things like this will exist and if it's of any bother, people just shouldn't watch. I think it's time to stop complaining about it.
I'm also totally not a fan of the fanservise in this anime and is something that lowered my hype for this series, but I swear the action, the voice acting, the characters, the story and the OST totally make up for that. I don't pay attention to the fanservise at all. Not to mention that very often it looks quite ridiculous and funny, so it's nothing that crosses the line. Sometimes it's very close to it, but I guess the writers and animators just know how to handle that without making the fanservise the basic part of the show. It's there in every ep for a short time, obviously either to tease, bother or please the different types of fans, but then the plot comes and the major amount of fans totally forget about it.

I agree. I dislike fanservice and was very disappointed in the first episode, but in this one, it felt like they somewhat know how to use it. Satsuki doesn't loose a shread of that queenly aura even using that uniform and in the fight scenes they focus a lot on their faces, always intense, and even give them stances that cover their body with their blades and don't stoop down to using panty shot and underboob angles just for the sake of fanservice. I might not like the fanservice in the rest of the episode, but I don't even notice it when the action starts.

Of course fanservice exist, but it wasn't the focus of an anime. In TTGL there was Yoko and that's almost all the fanservice aside from a few little scenes which weren't exactly "Look this fanservice!"-like, if you get what I mean. So I misunderstand the medium? No, you are misunderstanding my post. Also you seem to have missed the word "today" while interpreting me. I was not talking about all animes of all times but about todays animes in which fanservice (and moe) gets more and more focus instead of what is actually important.

And if you really think fanservice was always a big part of animes, you clearly watched the wrong ones. So please don't tell me anything about me misunderstanding the medium, "expert". (Not that I know it better but atleast I don't pretend to do so.)

This was pretty enjoyable yet again, really digging the soundtrack

I get the feeling Satsuki might just be a Viral/Thymilph though with the name drops of her Mother and Kiryuin family.

How epic would say! XD
Episode that introduces some changes and some information, just not to give the impression to broadcast a show already seen! Plot that seems almost like an option if it were not for these very innovations seen today. Narration similar, but not identical to the other. What will change? In addition to the many blows, blows and blows again, there is a shred of news about future opponents Ryuuko.
Nice design, beautiful new uniform Satsuki, even more than that of Ryuuko! I would say crap!
OST fits the genre!
The rating of 5/5 there is good, thanks to the news!

Just because you don't want to admit that there's been plenty of anime that have used fanservice (dismissing them as the "wrong" anime) in the past doesn't mean they actually didn't exist.

DAT EPISODE. Now things are getting interesting :)


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 love your opinion. The contrast is there. Satsuki's reasons may be good but the way she shows it (no pun intended) is wrong. And Ryouko is there to stop her way since it is technically wrong.

See, the same thing works the other way around aswell. Also I did admit it... actually I even started my last post doing so.
Please actually read my post next time before making something up that isn't true, okay?

Nice to see the information of the Goku suits and the Kamui suits and how they work on it. Oh man the fight scenes were just.... mindblowing amazing as well as the animation of it. And now she is going to fight the entire school with all her might.

I can't wait to see more of this, this probably my favorite anime of the fall season.

Let the shipping BEGIN!!!

I wasn't really sure how I felt about this show for the first 2 episodes but, this one has definitely got me psyched. Absolutely adored the Satsuki / Ryuuko fight, seriously felt the epicness of Gurren Lagann in it.

Lol and as a side note I found myself thinking as I was watching that scene that Satsuki and Ryuuko could potentially be great friends. (^v^)~♥”

I was lukewarm coming into this show because of the animation and while the first two episodes were good, they didn't have that wow factor. This episode made it all come together with that absolutely epic fight sequence and now I can't wait to see Ryuuko and Satsuki finish their fight as the finale.

Liked the whole insert song during the fight, didn't know that was the same singer as SnK.

This show definitely has major style and it shows in this episode, what a fun watch.

I'm starting to like the stripper-teacher, such an interesting character, and a good VA as well. Ryuuko is starting to grow on me as well, looks aside. Her VA is also brilliant. I didn't expect the uniforms to get even skimpier. Can't complain, though...
