The Kill la Kill production crew just announced the final episode's completion! The episode is making its way to MBS so hopefully the last episode won't be delayed. Aaah I'm super hyped, and kinda sad oh well. Summer season looks promising.

The final battle is quickly nearing its conclusion. Ragyou initially seems to be much too strong for the hapless sisters to overcome, but gradually, bit by bit, the Godrobes of the two heroes evolve, as if fighting against their inevitable fate. Utilizing these improvements, as well as some killer teamwork and a few absurd asspulls, Ryuuko and Satsuki defeat their perverse guardian... but not without some casualties. Satsuki has been gravely wounded, and her death is not too far off. Hours before the end, Ryuuko realizes that her love for her sibling has gone far beyond simple familial bonds, and the two quickly elope, much to the delight of shippers everywhere. But Satsuki soon succumbs to her injuries, and dies a mere day afterwards. Everyone is there with Ryuuko at her sister's deathbed, and when she finally goes, Ryuuko stands and offers to her friends a wistful smile. "It's alright," she says. "We all knew this would happen. Satsuki and I did." The Elite Four begin to sob, and even Tsumugu is seen holding back tears. Ryuuko silently turns to Nonon, her prodigy and backup lover, and presses into her trembling hands the shrunken Sword Scissors. Smirking, she says, "Me, I'm Ryuuko the badass scissor master. And I think there's someone better suited than I to make all of these nice arts and crafts." Nonon replies breathlessly, "You can count on me." Tying Senketsu on her shoulders as if he was a cape (not very comfortable, as I'm sure you can guess), Ryuuko turns away from her utterly incomprehensible family, and towards her new destiny.

Fast forward an unspecified span of time. The sun is setting on a small village on the outskirts of the new, life-fiber-free human civilization. A small girl is sitting on the beach, attempting to cut a particularly tough piece of cardboard with some scissors and not succeeding. A solitary woman passes, cloaked in the tatters of some sailor uniform, and notices the girl's troubles. "What's wrong?" The woman asks as she bends down to the child's height. "I can't cut this cardboard in half," cries the girl in exasperation. The woman sighs and smiles. "You're putting too much force behind the blades," she says. "Try pushing just a little more gently." The girl returns to her task, following the mysterious woman's advice, and lo and behold, it works! The cardboard lies on the sand, cut cleanly into two. "Wow!" The girl exclaims, astounded by her success. "It worked! You're amazing, sis!" The woman grins. "Of course it worked! Who the hell do you think I-". But the girl is no longer listening, captivated by her sudden breakthrough. The woman rises and brushes her coat, her face pensive, as if reminiscing. She chuckles. "Nah...I guess I'm nobody."

In the distance, multiple SS Naked Suns begin blasting off into space, no doubt on their way to eradicate the life fibers still living in the deep, cold recesses of the universe. "Awesome!" The girl shouts, clearly excited by their sudden appearance. "It's the SS Naked Sun! Look at all the SS Naked Suns!" The woman squints, and soon, she recognizes that it's true. Feeling nostalgic, she says, "You know, I think you're right." The girl looks up at her with wide eyes. "I wonder if I can go too?" She asks, anxious. The woman grins. "Sure you can," she says. "The lights in the sky are all stars." Her tattered sailor costume, which looks conspicuously like a pirate, gingerly raises itself up to her face and observes her for a second before smiling. She smiles back.

"Yeah, they're stars," she continues nonchalantly. "Stars where no life fibers are waiting for us."

0/5 Like all other episodes. I wish a 0 existed on MaL for this show. The most poorly animated series i've seen. To the point where people have started comparing truly shit animation as "almost as bad as KLKs" http://i.gyazo.com/c73ce6e527e60b9894f89218177ff89c.png

... Not sure why this horrible plotline and animation is praised. I guess there is just alot of people who think blurring backgrounds behind still images is "fluid" and good animation. Has there even been any mouth animations over 3 frames yet? Feels like episode 23 has got even worse and is down to 2.

http://i.gyazo.com/35796dd54c710b5d2aa15a3f9c6b8cf4.mp4 What a smooth finishing move. Worst anime i've seen in a long time, more of a letdown than SnK, even going into it expecting what I thought to be "the worst" But this is something I couldn't predict. (And I was hyped about SnK and enjoyed it for the first 11 episodes.)

Edit: Also, if this is some ongoing inside-joke/meme of sorts where everyone actually hates KLK and tries to get other people to watch it for the last laugh, then I apologize. I must have missed that memo. And if you believe I judge anime solely on graphics, then you have the wrong idea, I gave Birdy a 10 and loved it, and it's scenes were fast paced to the point where characters turned into blank stick figures with no detail on them whatsoever as they were thrown through multiple buildings at once.. But at least they moved

Oh you poor poor soul. If you think Kill la kill has weak "graphics" then your taste must be extremely limited. Kill la kill definitely uses limited animation, like all animes it cuts corners, but where other animes try to hide this fact Kill la kill embraces it completely.

but Kill la Kill despite having to work with very limited animation made their characters feel completely alive unlike 80% of other animes out there. Fluid does not equal good bro, and to animate means to bring something to life, which is exactly what kill la kill does. Also Kill la kil has way better lip sync animation then most animes what are you talking about....

And why do people like the plot? Maybe because its one of the strangest and unique concepts out there, and its more the execution of the plot which attracts people.

I suggest you expand your scope on what "good animation" is, it's for your own good.

Yo, if you don't want peoples opinions, why make a thread?. Why have a poll that rates 1-5 if only people who would rate the show 4/5 should respond? You should probably just ignore the criticism if you can't find a way to defend your show.

Where can I watch it online while it runs on TV?

It has bad animation, and the art/graphic is okayish. I don't get what you mean by limited taste.

Kill lal Kill has a small budget and they try to make the best of it, that's all there is to it. It's not an artistic decision by the studio, they simply don't have a good enough budget to animate it normally, being their first TV series and all.


How can something like that be measured or judged? I don't think it brings characters to life, and I don't understand why would someone say this. What does that even mean. Rotoscope brings character to life.


The plot is unbelievably simplistic, and hardly original and unique. The unique or original part is the pun of the title and it's relation to the fact that their enemies are clothes.


It has terrible animation for the most part, imo. Not everyone is going to appreciate what's trigger is doing with their low budget, and I hardly consider it creative, it's just stupid.
