@ Kokopelli

BTW I kind of re-read what you wrote and realized we're saying similar things.

Te-he (Idiot me).

The question now is just what will snap our girl back to her senses?

I personally feel that I am not hoping for too much when I put forth the notion that a hug from Satsuki will do the trick.

Not hoping for too much at all...

Make. It. Happen. TRIGGER.

I enjoyed this episode less.

Ryuko's done gone nuts again and Satsuki looks terrible in Senketsu.

If Ragyo can use life fibers to alter memories do you think she did that with Nui? Just a thought, but i think Nui was serious with the sympathy she gave to Ryuuko

Next episode I doubt will be as good since it'll be action focused. All the action episodes so far have been bad


THIS.

This comment made me realize why I enjoy the "second half" of the show so much and why I singled out episodes 3, 5 and 7 as the best episodes of the "first half":

BALANCE

Episode 3 had action, but we also got to see Ryuuko's new home life and Satsuki's home life.

Episode 7 had action but we got to see what kind of character Mako would be if she wasn't "Main Character's Best Friend" and also got to see Ryuuko actually USE HER HEAD (by creating fight club and cheating Satsuki's system).

Episode 5, the most action oriented of the three episodes I singled out from part one was good because the action was well orchestrated, a far cry from stupid kendo sticks and stupid BDSM whips and stupid Beethoven Blaster and stupid Hybrid Monster.

It's why the second half is so awesome - there's action, there's well placed comedy, and the characters interactions aren't big empty speeches, but small, playful comments, making such scenes seem more real than stylized (for example the scene in this last episode where everyone was deciding what to do now Ryuuko wasn't an asset anymore).

However, I think episode 21 will be pretty good IF the writer doesn't shy away from what he's essentially set up, i.e. SECOND impressions.

In a blog about this ep I read some dude suggested that Satsuki would try to protect Ryuuko now that she knew the baby sister she was trying to avenge was alive. Another guy felt that Satsuki and Ryuuko's relationship wouldn't change since they've butted heads throughout the show.

I guess the second guy forgot about that one month time-skip. While Ryuuko slept through most of it, Satsuki had quite a lot of time to think you see...

Anyway, here's hoping the show maintains this balance and momentum.


The kendo stick and Beethoven blaster were far less stupid than a masked black blob trying to push gold on people ;)


Nah, they were a lot more stupid.

Unimaginative too.

Unlike, say, the blob pushing gold on people because it realized that gold is what would get it what it wanted from others: acceptance.

Nice try, though...

Haha! "Unimaginative" because "people like gold" is so imaginative, or people shooting people with guns is imaginative, yet you gave a show that's all about that a 10.

You left the word "choreographed" out of that little rant of yours there.

Black Lagoon featured "choreographed" gun fights.

GOOD ones. IMAGINATIVE ones. EXCITING ones. In addition to some very interesting themes, by the way.

There was nothing choreographed or at the very least exciting about the E4 battles and especially that battle of episode 6, officially the worst excuse for an action episode I've ever seen in all of anime EVER.

The Nonon fight, the best of the four (or should that be the least horrible), featured nothing but two girls blasting music back and forth at one another for most of the episode. One blasted pop. The other blasted classical. Then both took to the skies and continued the same thing mid flight.

Snooze...

The fact that you made me remember how utterly horrible those fights were is in a way kind of a hollow victory to you.

Well done.

I'm going to go back to ignoring you and your posts now, RRF.

4 episodes remaining... That's giving me mixed feelings, hate to draw a comparison, but this isn't as epic as Gurren Lagann was nearing the end.

Hope trigger delivers tho!

I think this is how they'll kill Nui, and then Satsuki will get her half of the scissor sword so she and Ryuuko and snip Ragyo's head off.

Not too sure how to feel about Kill la Kill right now. Been on the outs with it for a little while. I think the show still does some things incredibly well, but it's been leaving me cold with some of the recent plot turns. It's cool that so many people are into it, though. Although I've been enjoying it less and less, I'm still eager to see how it all plays out. I'm just disappointed that I don't like it as much as I want to.

The episodes just keep getting better. Ryuko vs Satsukii is going to be an awesome fight :3

It’s an animal of isolation that’s not at all worried about its solitary lifestyle. Let’s not forget that bears get to hibernate as well. Oh, what a wonderful existence. If I’m ever reincarnated, I most certainly would like to be reborn as a bear."

Re-watched the episode today.

Still pretty amazing seeing Satsuki go commando, PUN INTENDED...









































(she went all commando on the life fibers while at the same time went all commando because she had no underwear on? Don't lie to me you didn't get the joke the first time!)

I really wish I had waited until the series was finished before I started watching it, because now the waiting is killing me. Aside from that, really good episode! Seeing Ryuko suffer even more is hurting. I really want Ryuko to snap out of it and team up with Satsuki.

I still wonder whether Mikisugi's purple shin has any significance. After all, only Ragyou and Satsuki do shine besides him. Not even Nui or Ryuuko. Most likely not though.

It's been great seeing this show go up a few points with each episode... It was at 8.03 when it began its climb back up - and now it's a full .10 higher.

We should place bets on what it will end up as.

Just a random question, but of the two "main characters" who do you think is more human. Which seems more plausible to be an "actual person" rather than just a fictional character? Really no right or wrong answer, just kinda interested what opinions people have.

Also, BRS... are you from Head-Fi as well? Just curious, remember seeing that username from somewhere.

I believe that Ryuuko has more of a human-relatability, just because she has more flaws.

In terms of plot and story though, Satsuki has less Life Fibers and such - where Ryuuko has more, and Nui & Ragyou have the most.

Also - yes, I use the same name on Head-Fi as well. I haven't really found one better, ehehe.

If the ending ends up being excellent, I will be happy with an 8.3. 8.5 will make me ecstatic. 8.7 or higher will blow my mind.

Considering this is Trigger's first full-length anime, I've loving this. They're doing a great job for their first work. And I like how they're going as far as taking out openings, putting the next episode previews online at times just so they can have more content aired. This is the first studio that I've seen put more content instead of trying to put less content when it broadcasts on air.
