| Very nice episode Kill la kill is really worth watching |
| A Story will always come to it's end. The thing is, will you move on after it's over? |
WyattEarp said: Virtual_BS said: This is a brilliant show so far. Ryuuko's progress has slowed down with this episode. I suppose it was inevitable; at the rate she was defeating people, they'd never make it to 25 episodes. I still don't see potential for 25 episodes as it stands, so they may need to throw in a few more twists to deepen the plot. Before this episode, I thought the setting and plot development supported 12 episodes at best, now I see potential for about 18. I like that they've slowed down the progress to stretch it out; I just hope they have enough content and action to fill it up while still keeping it entertaining. I'm happy as long as they don't sacrifice quality in favour of quantity. Still, some things don't make sense... Why is Ryuuko, wearing the strongest uniform made entirely out of life fibre, unable to defeat some brat in a supposedly much weaker 30% uniform..? I can't help but think that both Ryuuko and Senketsu still haven't reached their full potential and there are some levelling-up scenes in store for them. If they're gonna stretch it out like that, they better make it good. This show's already packed with about as much action that it can hold, so I don't know how they're going to make that work out. This episode itself felt like a filler though, with Ryuuko not really making any progress towards her goal - in fact, she probably lost ground by making the enemy stronger. It wasn't too much of an issue because of all the action, but they can't throw in many more of these if they want the show to work out as a whole. Filler because the character lost ground??? Come on every great story needs these moments to show us that the characters aren't invincible, that they can be beaten, and that they need to grow to overcome the obstacles that get in their way. On top of that, one of the main villains had a lot of character development in this episode and small story elements were dropped all over the place, so I fail to see how you can call this episode filler, in fact the word filler is being overused these days. I'm not complaining about that, but I just get the impression that this story is not suitable for 25 episodes. There's nothing wrong with the enemy getting stronger. It does happen in every great battle anime. I'm just not sure this show's back-story is strong enough to support this kind of development. It feels like this episode was an attempt to stretch it out to fit the quota. I guess I'm a bit biased because I was hoping for 12 to 15 episodes and it looked to be heading that way, but this episode changed everything. Also, It seems you just read that part of my post out of context. Everything above it clearly explained why it gave me that impression. The change of pace is a bit too sudden - so it seems a bit too unnatural. |
 |
| Wow, this episode. I'm starting to think anime might be saved after all. Also now everytime I see the flopping tits in the opening, I realize this is exactly what a female saiyan would look like. There's probably not enough overpowered girl anime. |
 |
| Female vs Male fanservice. Epic action, this show rocks. Really awesome, I don't undertand the hate around it. It's not bland and this episode was great in my opinion. By the way: beaaaaaaach. |
 |
| Why do I think that the Great Gurren Brigade members are so similar looking with Nudist Beach? I mean, come on, it's Kamina and Kittan!! I just rewatched it and noticed something. Sanageyama has the same VA as Viral. Now it's Kamina, Kittan and Viral in another show!! |

 |
| haha 4:3 for the flashback cracked me up xD |
| The episode has a strong vibe of those shounen exaggeration of the Japanese zen way of martial arts and I think it is executed pretty well. It seems the show is going through round and round of Ryuko getting into her usual over-confidence and dashing action-first mode and then gets beaten up real hard ending with her learning some lessons and growing up a bit. This is the pattern of the last episode and this episode. Are we going to see the same pattern in the coming episodes? |
| 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. |
| Sneaky kid, he traded those sexy photos of Matoi for info lol. Also, dem glowing nipples. great flashback, loved how the Elite Four looked like back then. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| Like many, I find this not making any sense. When Ryuko first accepted Senketsu in its fullness, she was trading blows with Satsuki on equal terms. Now though she's just losing left and right. I can understand last week since that large dude used carefully planned tactic to defeat Ryuko but this time Ryuko simply looked inept. |
 |
| Also funny how Mako measuring the weenie of the guy and judged it too short LOL LOL LOL |

I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| I'm actually pleasantly surprised by this episode. Sanageyama is such a good character. Based Sawano OST, thanks for living. Not enough Mako though. But I'm happy that this episode showed less fanservice, it was more enjoyable this way, for me. |

skudoops said: Remember Ryuuko lost to Satsuki, so more than likely she's only equal to the three stars in power, but not in ability. If I'm not mistaken she was tired by the end because by the time she finally harnessed Senketsu's power she had already spent a lot of energy fighting against Satsuki's full power kamui while she hadn't unlocked Senketsu's potential yet. I can't help but feel that if she had been using Senketsu's full power from the beginning, the battle would last a lot longer and who knows she might get an upper hand at some point. |

I think the whole thing for this ep is that power isn't enough without skill.. This guy realized what he was missing and found ways to out maneuver her.. I also think during her fight with Satsuki that Satsuki was going easy on her slightly and basically just measuring up her abilities.. That or since she also just got her uniform is yet so unleash the full potential.. Idk, senketsu increase power but not skill and technical knowledge. |
| So much manservice....!! :] Awesome episode as usual. Sanageyama is a really interesting character and I loved his development this episode. |
  |
| The teacher and OST are still the best thing in this show to me. nudist...BEACH!! |
 |
| The scenes with Sanageyama and Satsuki are so interesting. When Sanageyama first asked Satsuki permission to fight he was being cocky, he was too proud of his eyes and his current level of skill, especially when Satsuki tested him with the broken piece of her cup and he compared her movements (obviously restrained) to when she was younger. It's obvious one of his goals is to become an equal in the eyes of Satsuki, it's probably been on his mind since he joined her. The problem here was that he felt content surpassing the level of skill he witnessed in their first meeting instead of aiming to reach her as she is now. The act of having tea together obviously means... something more than a simple reunion. It would a step up in their relationship towards... something. Sanageyama thought he was ready for that, so he made the promise. After losing to Ryuko he understood his shortcomings and felt the need to sacrifice the thing he was proud of the most to force himself to reach new heights. His second battle and somewhat of a victory served to prove that he was capable of standing on the same level as Satsuki, she herself saw that too. At the end of the episode Sanageyama decides to see Satsuki and leave after a few words, every thing that really needed to be said was made known through his presence alone. Satsuki then proposed the tea herself, that was both a test to see if Sanageyama had really changed and could now continue to grow to become what Satsuki expects him to become and also a promise of things to come, you can clearly see that something between them changed. Sanageyama for his part understands perfectly what she is trying to say, so he declines the offer because he thinks/knows that he isn't yet ready for/worthy of what the offer promises, but the determined tone he uses shows that he will one day. |

| Really cool episode NUDIST. . . . . . BEACH!!!! |
 |
| Sweet lord this was an amazing episode, probably one of my favorites yet I have to say! It all starts with glowing nipples, and I'm not even surprised that Aikurou Mikisugi would do something like this, and the way he says Nudist Beach makes one just want more, great way to start a serious episode with some light humor. Nudisto Bichi! Uzu Sanageyama he is becoming the favorite character of this show, and I have a big feeling that he will have a big part throughout the show compared to the other Elite 4 in the Acedemy, and seeing his relationship with Satsuki makes one think that there is something deep there. Speaking of Satsuki, I think that it was her mom that called her after her talk with Uzu and looks like the world that her mom is living it is different and more glamorous than Satsuki's Academy, this might be a hint that the world of this anime that has been portrayed so far is way grander that we currently know of. I think the first arc to like episode 13 will be about the Academy and the rest of the show to be rest of the universe like we know back in TTGL. Just my thought on this, especially when its Trigger that are doing this show! Uzu vs Matoi! By far the best fights in the show so far, and it couldn't have been done better, and to much of my surprise, even Uzu got his own transformation to his 3 Star robe sequence much like Matoi's. No sexual discrimination in this show at all. The first fight was good, though I had a feeling Matoi that win this after getting brutally owned in the majority of the fight, and Uzu losing it. Also LOL at Mako pointing out Uzu's dick size as well. The 2nd fight, where Uzu SEWED his own eyes to get a better grip with his Mind's Eye ability just stomps Matoi, and to much of his despair his robe overheats and Matoi gets away, this fight alone will make Matoi think at least next time she is going to fight the Elite 4 again. Another Satsuki and Uzu moment, like a badass he rejects Satsuki's offer for a tea, and the still the episode ended with gave me a total TTGL vibe. Based Trigger again, and the OST though...based Hiroyuki Sawano! TLDR: Best episode in the show so far, and Matoi can't win a fight without the present of the best girl in the show, Mako! http://i5.minus.com/ij3GlNleHKt4e.jpg |

Takuan_Soho said: Lovely show isn't this, I have been calling this show a parody, but that isn't true. This is a post-modern 80's TV show. It takes all the themes in those shows (which I love by the way) and consciously improves upon them. It's a shame that the most interesting characters are the ones who are supposed to be defeated, hopefully none of them will actually die. It's possible that Satsuki's group might become the lesser of evils what with the introduction of other big players like Satsuki's mother, that might indicate to Ryuko and Satsuki working together in the future. |

Takuan_Soho said: Absolutely not. Death isn't what this show is about. I would advise not thinking too much about this show (and I mean that in a positive way): this show isn't about right or wrong, good or evil, it's about a hero ascending against ever increasing opposition. So Ryoko will eventually defeat everyone we know, and then join forces with them against a greater opponent (probably even above her step mother (i.e. Satsuki's mother)). In the end I predict that all the humans, both the academy and Nudist beach, everyone will be supporting Ryuko as she advances against the true boss. This show deserves that ending. TTGL was like that too, and a lot of cool characters died, but like I said, I will continue to hope that it doesn't happen. |

| While watching the flashback. i was wondering, who's the strongest among Elite Four.. since that loli majorette/conductor is the first follower, so maybe her? anyway, can't wait to see Matoi vs her. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| I think this show has officially passed Outbreak Company as my #1 of a season full of good shows. Fucking fantastic ... that's all I can say. 5/5 |
| the teacher is too gay, other than that the show is fantastic so far, so much fun |
| Nudist Biiiiitch. Ok, |
| I was kinda of hoping that in his shame Sanageyama would have joined forces with Ryuuko |
| Good episode, a little bit more serious than the others. It's intersting to see an defeated ennemy develop himself and his courage, and do sacrifices to win. That's better than see a "classic" fight plan. |
"An Eye for an Eye, a Tooth for a Tooth, and Evil for Evil." |
| I'm liking this anime more and more. It seems that three star is uniform is so strong. It is interesting to see how strong are the other devas. Maybe Sanageyama is the weakest |
| Nudist beach, can there exist a better name for an organization, the action was intense like always, which is awesome and now we just wait for the next episode. |
| Respect for Sanageyama went up to 100000000% P.S. I ship him with Mako ( o v o ) |
| lmfao |
| Me GhostCell said: I was kinda of hoping that in his shame Sanageyama would have joined forces with Ryuuko Yiz. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. |
| lmfao |
| Hope they show us more badass members from Nudist Beach in the future :) I don't think Aikurou is a mere push-over, it feels like he does not want to show his true strength :) Things would actually become interesting if there are actually more than 2 godrobes :) |
 |
| I wonder how ryuko is going to win the next time they fight o.o |
| He lost his sight and his other senses were heightened. Great episode!!! |
 |
| i love the scene when nonnon said : nani koreee XD |
| Dam the animation upped during the last fight! Satsuki's mother was shown and that building? I expect this to expand beyond the school. Also DAT OST! |
