It's Hiroyuki Sawano's style. He remix old works of his for his new projects and sometimes, they really look alike.


Yeah, I've started to recognize his work from a mile away now. Him and Kajiura.

This episode was fucking epic! Best anime of the season so far and probably best anime of the year!

Lol at all the crying babies complaining about the fanservice, you're just ridiculous XD
I will say just this: god bless you Studio Trigger!

Holy fucking shit. Man, I was not nearly as impressed with the first 2 episodes and I was even considering dropping the show. This episode sold it for me; I'm definitely continuing now.

And even though I feel the uniform thing is still kinda ridiculous, I'm starting to get it and how the wearer must have a "bond" with their kamui/goku. Ryuuko's embarrassment actually had a reason and some character development happened. Suddenly liking this show a whole lot more.

"Quite a bit of satire and juxtaposition if you dig into this. The beginning talk about Hitler’s ascension to the Chancellery is easily linked to Satsuki’s wearing of Junketsu: she has become absolute, devoid of weakness, a virtual god(dess). Her attacks (even after Matoi accepts her uniform completely) still crush Matoi while sparkling; she always ascends or descends into a white light, a sense of absolute purity unaffected by the actions of Matoi (after all, she appears unharmed at the end of the fight).

The discussion about Matoi having to beat all remaining clubs is also interesting, as you can link this back to totalitarianism. The leader cannot be challenged until the masses are beat because the leader IS the masses. Satsuki made special mention of this fact, stating how she embraces the masses in accepting Junketsu and is not embarrassed by being physically revealed. Effectively Statsuki has made Matoi’s quest appear entirely selfish, a peregrination against the will of the people which they themselves will strike down. No better illustration of this than her initial refusal to fully accept her uniform as she did not want the embarrassment."

-- Pancakes in the comments of Kill la Kill Episode 3; Random Curiosity

This explains this episode perfectly well...I'm really enjoying the subtle symbolism so far.

I guess I just decided to finish this unless it gets worse.
The comedy needs to remain good and fresh though or this will lose its vibe pretty quickly.
I also like the presence of the "plot" that is in this show, but will Motoi only beat Satsuki at the very very end of the novel/manga?
I'd suck to see it becoming brainless if they decide to drop the plot because "it got people watching" since there's something interesting about the way the two interact.
End of way too long and nonsensical comment.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Yeah, there was fan service. The episode itself was just flat out amazing. I adore this show, and I honestly keep thinking that that current episode is the last, because how do you put that much action in to the third episode of a show? I eagerly wait for the fourth and the much-needed action it will bring.

On another note, isn't her teacher the best?!

At the very least it served some purpose and contributed to a plot element, it also meshes well with the over the top everything.

This episode was good, Really impressed me the fight was really interesting and fun to watch.
I did really enjoy this, I hope it keeps up this pacing because otherwise the show would feel rather weird.

Nice build up episode overall and i'm looking forward to the next one.

Memorable scenes:

- two pairs of flying tits (upward, to boot) - power-ups done fucking right ^_^
- the crowning moment of awesome:

- shits and giggles as per usual, "the world awaits to be conquered", etc., etc., etc.

Actually, I like the background interactions more - the Mankanshoku family and that Kamina-like teacher.

Funny how an anime that tries to focus all of your attention on its visual aspect, ends up expressing itself through simple dialogue. It might've gone over some people's heads as it did mine.

Kudos to that guy on that other thread who dug this up (a good read):
http://formeinfullbloom.wordpress.com/2013/10/17/what-not-to-wear-undressing-kill-la-kills-wardrobe-nsfw/


I think because of the dialogue conveying the theme being in the best action scenes alot of people aren't focusing on it enough. When Satsuki made her little speech about not caring what the masses think, and doing what she has to do to achieve her ambitions, I saw how they were cleverly using the fanservice to make a point. I obviously couldn't link it back to the culture of shame in japan (since I don't know it) but I did understand what they are going for in a general sense.

Issue is I tend to focus alot on dialogue but I can see many people just not thinking about it because it pops up during the action scenes.

Oh god yes i can't help but scream each time he starts stripping, and in Ryuuko's place i wouldn't have hesitated a second to cross the line he was talking about, this i'm sure of *3*

OMG. Yes, this. I love you for loving Ryuuko x Mikisugi


YES... I'm so glad you guys feel the same way! I'm shipping them hard. That smexy homeroom teach who can't keep his clothes on (thankfully...!) And the awesome sexy goddess that is Ryuko. Winning combo.

I definitely agree with all of you *o*

DarkCyclone said:
Also noticed the moment Aikuro was ready to jump in to save Ryuko revealed that he's likely among the stronger characters
And didn't notice that the final clash during the fight caused an implosion mid explosion, and actually pulled in the random students before blasting them away again. Dem anime physics

Yeah XD and i really can't wait for them to reveal more about Aikuro i'm literally dying of curiosity here *x*

DPXJube said:
I think some of you people are trying way too hard to justify why the fan service is there in a vain hope to give meaning into things that don't have or need meaning.

It's fanservice.
It's the exact same thing as intense over the top violence in a grind film
It doesn't NEED to have a higher purpose
It's purpose is to entertain
And if that doesn't entertain you or you can't ignore it then the show is probably not for you. Similar to how if a show with constant exploding heads and guts flying everywhere doesn't entertain you then that show is probably not for you.

If you're trying to answer the question WHY to things that are purely there to entertain, be it bouncing bosoms, over the top dismemberment, explosions within explosions within explosions, giant robots throwing galaxies, main characters using their motorcycles as melee weapons, then I'm afraid you are probably in for disappointment.

Absolutely, i couldn't agree more, i mean i just think that the entertainment in KlK is excellent and be it action, fanservice or something else that's exactly how it's supposed to be since to me that's exactly what makes KlK what it is ^3^ and well, those who don't like it should just drop it! Well said DPXJube-kun =D
Oh, there one thing i didn't understand in this ep, why was Junketsu supposed to be Satsuki's wedding dress? I mean why make such a powerful uniform to use it in the end as a wedding dress? Why?? For what purpose?! That got me confused >3<

Loved this ep, so much fighting, so much awesome, and for the first time; naked heroine and villain, and they don't even care, tbh it kind of sucks that she isn't embarrassed by the outfit anymore, but at the same time its great.
9/10 would fap to this

Considering Gurren Lagann did it, yah they'll probably reuse the transformation animation, since reanimating it differently each time is just ridiculous and a waste of the animation budget.

No, re-use of transformation sequences is commentary on...whoops, forgot to turn off my Pretension Switch. *click*

In the bizarro universe where Kill la Kill is made by KyoAni, the transformation sequence is freshly animated every episode.
