| It was fucking amazing. |
 |
| So, where do we go now that anime has been saved yet again? Nice ending, didn't think they would go on a date of all things, pretty cool though. 5/5. Anyway, this was a really nice series, over the top, but in a funny way, with entertaining characters. 8/10. |
| Loads of action as expected ... pretty sick "Absolute Domination" by Ragyou there :O Though it didn't really end up working since Ryuuko and Senketsu are neither human nor clothing eh ... pretty cool battle at the end, but yeah idk, a little lame win with Ragyou just killing herself :P Tbh I think seeing Ryuuko and Mako's date would've been pretty funny XD Looks like Satsuki cut her hair too? o_O Well so ... yeah, I did quite enjoy watching this anime - it was fun and action-packed with awesome animation and music, but the characters were kind of "meh" at times and honestly that plot ... like everyone being defeated so easily and the whole Life Fiber cocoon planet thing O_O Maybe a little over-hyped? Eh, I'll give it a 8/10 (more like 8.5 I think) |
| I will miss this anime and senketsu. Hope senketsu didn't die :< . That gamagori death tearjerker. Mod Edit: double post merged. |

| If you want everything you'll end up with nothing. |
| It was pure awesomeness! |
| I am disapointed and impressed at the same time |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
| 12/10, just like Guren Lagann was. I just rewatched all of it in one sitting and once again I find myself just wanting to rewatch it a third time. Just like Guren Lagann, it just hits every goddamned point it has to and does not dissapoint once. Ontop of the typical Trigger/Gainax awesomesauce art there's a soundtrack made from pure epicness. Trigger, I love you and I look forward to the next completely over the top and ridiculously awesome anime you'll make. I don't even care if it's another TTGL reimagined |
| Don't lose your WAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! |
| 6/10 |
 |
| Pure epicness from beginning to end. 10/10 |
 |
| Satsuki blushing at the end <3 Enjoyed every episode 9/10 Senketsu ;_; TRIGGER FTW!!!! |

| The last episode was disappointing (the conclusion to the climax), I did enjoy the "epilogue" though, even if it was that short. Overall I liked Kill la Kill much more than I expected to (especially compared to how I felt about it at the beginning), mostly because Satsuki is badass. I wish they'd have given her the last fight against her mom and more than just "imitating" her sister, but I understand it had to be the way it was. Also predictable that Senketsu would die. |

ollythirteen said: @ OngPQ, You're not the only one. I don't hate it, personally. In fact I'm fond of it. A lot more than I should be to be honest thanks a great deal to its art. But the way the story was told I think just about anyone in this thread could've written it. Hell, some of the things people have said throughout its run makes you think a few people here could've written this story a lot better than the writer actually did. I know I could've. I would've done more with Satsuki's jealousy (ep 3) for one thing. Maybe I would've made Mako stay competent (ep 7) and also made Ryuuko use her head more like she did when she created fight club (ep 7 again). IF I wrote this story Omiko (ep 2) would've made a reappearance a lot earlier than ep 23, perhaps to show what happens when one falls from grace in Satsuki's system. Ep 4 definitely wouldn't have happened. Or the E4 arc. Or the Battle Field Trip. And we'd have left Hounouji for the wider world a loooong time ago. Ryuuko losing Senketsu would've hit her harder than it did. And Hououmaru would've had more to do, as well as Soroi and the Mankanshoku family, who I'd have still kept as comic relief characters but given time to shine as the family that took Ryuuko in. And I DEFINITELY wouldn't have treated Tsumugu the way he was treated. It's like episode 5 never happened (this guy went after someone with 100 percent life fibers and ALMOST SUCCEEDED). And I'd have found a proper reason for Ryuuko ending up at Hounouji Gakuen... *sigh* Ah well. At least I have the pretty art to lust over covetously. Man, I really enjoyed the plot, it was executed in a really unique way. It's true a lot of the things you listed would've probably made the show even better, and would probably needed an extra 3 or so eps. It doesn't really make sense that the show was only 24 episodes so I'm guessing it's a budget thing. When it comes to Tsumugu, yeah it wouldve been nice to see his badass side throughout the series but Trigger made a clear decision to limit him and the rest of nudist beach to comic relief, which was hilarious at least for me. I guess their rejection of clothes and life fibers all together actually limited their progression and they couldn't keep up with the likes of Ryuuko, Satsuki, and Nui, which makes sense, so I don't think it's really a flaw. It's kind of arrogant to say you could write a better show when you don't really understand the production process of an animated show. Also I loved ep 4 and 14 they were really hilarious. |

| To me this was a perfect final :) I wouldn't change anything |
 |
| Ryuko went fucking super saiyan OMGFG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2p36eJsS40 |
 |
| Love this episode 10/10. Can someone explain to me how Senketsu died? Is it because he absorbed way too much power and overloaded him and died or what? |
| Only a few things: Satsuki looks better with long hair Was funny when Ryuko was falling and all people was stopping her falling helping not to die. |
OngPQ said: Is it only me who dislike the anime? Boring,draggy and cliche. Nothing special to remind me of in the future, why do so many people love it? Probably for the same reason you like your favourites despite others finding stuff like Madoka boring, draggy and pretentious. People have different tastes. If comedy is not your thing, now you know and you can move on. |

You already missed so many obvious (and granted, not so obvious) things that it would be like patchwork if you tried. But don't worry, I'm confident that on your second watching of it (when you actually pay attention ;) you'll understand a bit more. Ep 4 definitely wouldn't have happened. Or the E4 arc. uhn! The funniest episode and the second most intense arc? Yeah, definitely shouldn't let you go anywhere near it. You'd ruin it worse than Toei did to the Dragonball manga. |

ollythirteen said: @ Wyattearp You are absolutely right. What I said was pretty arrogant. But it isn't untrue, even with my limited knowledge of the goings on in the anime-making process. You're absolutely right I have little knowledge of what goes in to making an anime (I've read about it but that isn't the same thing). I know two buzzwords though: "Budget" and "Entertain" and because watching as many anime as I have without being discriminatory or picky you tend to soak in both the good and bad and learn from them, I feel I at least have an idea of what could have made this show's story better/what made this show's story not as great while keeping in mind (1.) TRIGGER's limited budget and (2.) The purpose of most anime produced regardless of the true goal behind them (to sell toys, to promote the original source material etc): to Entertain. Anyway, my bad for coming across as arrogant (and making you read all that crap) I do still feel this story is something a lot of us could've written though. That may have been deliberate, who knows... Well there's no way of really knowing whether it's true or not, so you're making claims that you can't prove. But as someone who's learning how to write film myself, and as someone who once had a similar mindset as you let me tell you this, it's easy to come up with a story, plot points, characters, etc. The hard part is executing that and presenting it. They took a lot of big risks in the execution, and did stuff that they didnt know was going to work or not. Their execution of the show was unconventional, and they knew in doing that they would have to make some choices that would please some viewers but displease others. For me the show delivered on every level, and the plot was unique and cleverly executed, for you it had certain flaws, but from my perspective they had to make certain sacrifices in order to achieve the result that they felt was the best possible option given the resources that they had. You may believe that it was poorly handled but for a lot of people the show could hardly be better. It may have a simple plot, but simple is not bad, when it comes down to it its all about execution. Just look at the Pixar movie Ratatouille, it has one of the simplest plots but it's execution is spot on. And even if you don't like how KLK handled it's characters, can you deny that it's use of other storytelling tools (design, composition of shots, timing on the soundtrack, colour schemes, and the breaking of the fourth wall) set it apart and are among the best of any anime ever? And yeah that Ryuuko falling scene is definitely one of my favs in the whole anime. |
| An anime which was f***in epic every episode and f***in hilarious every episode. Soo many crazy ideas combined into a trash-movie-like story, yet not being trash at all. It was just wonderful. Every single episode was extremely entertaining and shows perfectly: When it comes to enjoyment, it's not the big budget or the top-notch animation that ensures it (I'm looking at you, KyoAni). |
 |
| Anime of the Decade. Trigger is now anime studio of the century. not 10/10 but 12/10 for me. Trigger please make more anime! |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| Meh didn't hold a candle to TTGL. Saving anime my ass. Though I guess that started off as a joke anyway. 7/10 overall. |

"second most intense arc" he says. THAT was intense? A Guy literally whipping a girl's ass so much it flipped her skirt? Two high school girls ghetto blasting classical and pop music back and forth at each other? One -- no, TWO fights that DON'T EVEN HAPPEN?! And then that... "thing" that Ryuuko becomes when she loses it. THAT was intense?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Wow! Thanks for that. PS: You're STILL going after people's anime lists, I see. Dasai. Nice try, but the killer of someone's father coming on screen is definitely better than the boring monologue you want it to be ;) And anime lists are the best ways to reveal two-facedness and bias as well :) God forbid you'd probably turn KlK into something as boring as Spirited Away!

The ending of this anime was a joke but whatever Oh, I see. So you didn't laugh = everyone else didn't laugh? |

But I guess that's a given considering that it was a low budget show from a new studio. I'm happy for trigger that they made good money of this but I hope they start producing some more mature content ( more mature than KLK sure isn't hard xD ). good marketing towards all those 15 year olds :D gotta commend them for that |

I guess people have different extents of "loving" a genre. The comedy was easily the best of the season, and the fight scenes were memorable which is far more than I can say for many other series. Can't help but notice that Gintama is the only comedy among your highest rated series though, and most of the others don't fare very well either :/ |

I thought it was one of the funniest animes out there, in 24 eps it made me laugh more times then Gintama did in a 100 eps. And I thought the action was staged and choreographed really well and had a lot of energy to it. And clearly Kill la kill is a show that teenagers-adults can enjoy, I'm 21 and me and my friends all loved Kill la kill :P |

The comedy in KLK was top-notch imho, just loved all the crazy ideas in the series and Mako's weird speeches^^ More mature? Does more mature mean more entertaining? If not, then to hell with matureness! You sound like David Cage with your talk about 'matureness'. I believe there was a quote from Charles Dickens or so which went along the lines of "Being mature is to not care about being mature and instead enjoy what you enjoy without being ashamed of it." Btw, I'm 23 and I absolutely loved KLK. Also, KLK was a LOT more mature than a huge number of animes out there. |

| 5/5 will watch again |
 |
| Finally shows over . It was a fun ride . Episode 18 was probably the best , but these last three episode were all pretty good . Nui harime is a great character as well as Ragyo . |
| Nui deserved so much more than that, she just wanted to be loved and accepted, she's basically what ryuuko would have been if she wasn't saved. She lost her way :( http://i.imgur.com/DAAHFx4. http://24.media.tumblr.com/79aabcc32ea95d17431c1eb6e7af5c0b/tumblr_mxpmkx6fYI1qc5rbmo2_500.gif |
|
| So ultimately the scissor form of the sword scissors was useless. And Mikisugi's sparkling didn't server any special purpose beyond making us wonder whether it has any special meaning. Overall, KLK had it's moments, and it's definitively special, but saving anime or anything, that certainly not. |

If you think klk is slow paced you're f**king stupid. where did I say KLK is slow paced lol. are you butthurt that I think KLK is for kids and not funny? more q.q pls. it's a fast paced mediocre anime that had potential to be good. ollythirteen said: It's no wonder the other guy thinks this show was aimed at 15 year old kids when humour consisted of some dumb as rocks chick interrupting serious scenes with dumb senseless speeches, a girl being peeped on by her friend's lecherous family and whatever Mikisugi Aikuro was supposed to be doing among many other dull attempts at drawing laughs. And those rape jokes...ugh, just no, no. Bad Nakashima! No laughs for you! This Mod Edit: double post merged. Quote tower put into spoiler tag. |
