I guess, it's okay to come to school half-naked, but pyjamas are totally unexcusable!

I seriously doubted this series until this episode, because of all the cheap fan service, but now I've changed my mind. This episode was so full of awesome, that it was over way too early.

Wow, this was the best episode yet, I was laughing my ass off.
Somehow some of the fan service made me rofl instead of facepalming myself.
Could use some less stupid transformation scenes but whatever.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

I don't care that this was a filler episode... that.. was... awesome!

So how did the other students get to class on time? Were they not no-stars?

This wasn't a fliler episode, its a transitional episode, but otherwise you are correct, it was awesome.

There was an easier path for the no-stars, because in the end they need they no stars to keep attendance numbers up, but for the MC the only path is the path of thorns. Since we are following the MC, that is the only path we saw, but that doesn't mean that is the only path.

Honestly, the best part of this episode was the preview for the next episode.

That episode was terrible... I'm almost dropping it, but the preview of the next episode gives some hope of a better episode... though I'm now really doubting it...

I loved TTGL, but this is more akin Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt which I dropped from the first episode. Honoo Tenkousei aparently was better too.

Anybody who says that the animation/art in this episode was is missing the point.

It's a comedy/filler episode. It's not supposed to have incredibly detailed art. They went for a cartoony and simplistic art style to save on money, but it doesn't look THAT bad. It fits for the episode.

As for the episode--filler, yes, but there was so much energy and fun behind everything that I can forgive it. This show is FUN and I have a blast everytime I watch it.

I agree, it doesn't take itself too seriously and provides entertainment.

For a filler episode I was still having a good time, though now I guess it's pretty much a lock that it will be a 23+ episode series so we'll see if there's any TTGL-esque qualities with the story very early in that change the whole atmopshere of KLK

3/5

I do not know what's so epic in this anime! D:
Only thing I noticed was the comedy and animation, the rest just so much noise, but a gripping storyline, when they want to give? In short, I give a low rating because I do not think you deserve an anime just because who knows what else he speaks well, to me it is not like that, but it has nothing to brag about!

However, daring the arrival at school, nothing but boring day of school! XD

Just because you "noticed" the point behind the episode doesn't justify its terrible animation. Yes, they are saving on money and yes as a result the animation was terrible. Does that mean we just have to accept the fact they are making a filler episode?

In fact, if you say we should accept this, then you should also accept the fact that the sole purpose of the existence of this episode was to DRAG out the series so that they could air longer. No anime has ever benefitted from this and neither has Kill la Kill.

This was definitely the worst out of 4 episodes. It felt totally like filler. Yet, it was enjoyable and I'm just loving the OST in this. Hoping for a better episode next time.

This episode was SHIT

I think I got a couple laughs, but that doesn't gloss over the fact that I felt like I was watching something animated in powerpoint

Honestly this anime is at it's best when comedic and fanservice moments are inserted throughout its fairly serious main plot. This is episodic gone horribly wrong

Some fans in Japan even spotted Pulp Fiction reference in this episode. Amazing.
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.

You guys are all missing the point. Even if the animation was cheap it fits the zany style of the episode and didn't really distract from the entertainment. If you're nitpicking an action/comedy that uses a less modern animation style about it's animation then maybe this isn't for you.

Mankanshoku family is disgusting as usual (this part and those fanservice scenes are painful to watch). I don't get the funny part from this episode either.

If it's not because of the hype, I'd surely have dropped this anime.

Why would you watch a show that you obviously don't get just because of the hype? I really don't understand that.

Self imposed torture because lots of people are talking about it. Sounds clever to me.

This ep may have lacked a big budget, but it was filled with heart. A fair tradeoff if you ask me, after all what's the point of having a huge budget if it's just given to lifeless, generic characters? Plus it was just goddamn funny, it's not like you'd complain that south park, simpsons etc are fucking terrible because they dont have super fluid animation would you?

Last episode did show a good budget though. You should seriously stop taking this seriously, 'cause from the way I saw it, this episode was meant to be like that. Just like Inferno Cop was.

Damn, I personally liked this better than the other episodes, just for the randomness. Dat randomness was way better this episode... it had an Abenobashi kind of random. I would still like to see a little more plot, or some kind of progress... but hey, I'm just glad it wasn't another episode about fighting club leaders.

Eh, because even if it's not your thing... it's nice to change things up sometimes. Also, some people may want to like/understand it, if only to know why you don't get it and everyone else does. Or maybe they expect it'll get better, or more to their tastes. Some people do it to laugh at how bad it is, or kill some time.

If everything matched one's preferences, everything would seem petty because it's all the same. It's the same reason you watch something you wouldn't rate a 10, why waste your time on something that's not perfect in your eyes?

No, I understand all of that. But I was responding to the guy who said he specifically WOULD have dropped it if it didn't have all the hype. That was the ONLY reason he HAD NOT dropped it.

What you described is what people who don't go around randomly hating things because they get that some things just don't fit their bill but they might watch it anyway.

Oh, my bad, I just kinda skimmed the recent posts... didn't even notice what the guy above you said. :/
I suppose that is kind of a dumb reason, especially when you've already decided to hate it. But it could possibly be like the "trying to understand the hype" but failing reason I mentioned.

It's entirely possible, but I tend not to give credit unless it's due. If it were anything less hyped he would have already dropped it. That doesn't really make sense to me.

And I'm the kind of person who will give a show a chance until it becomes painfully clear that I'm just not who this is aimed at in any way shape or form. Although the only things that are actually bad enough to watch for being hilariously bad tends to be reality tv for me.

With the popularity it gets, I'm expecting that this anime might turns out pretty awesome or something. And I'm patiently waiting for the awesome outcome. It's not self torturing, I'm just being lenient giving it a chance rather than judge it from the very start. Since my preference and early impression aren't the only things decide if an anime is good or not.

What's wrong with that?
