So what are the chances of Kill la Kill surpassing AoT in popularity, as well as winning Anime of the Year(2013)?
Attack on Titan
| I hope Kill la Kill doesn't get crammed with shitty threads like SnK. |
 |
| For the first one almost none and for the second idk. |

| Attack On Titan was such a huge success to where even random people who don't watch anime seemed to watch it. I don't see Kill La Kill making it that far. Don't get me wrong; it's likely to become popular within the anime fandom; But THAT popular? I don't see that happening. |
| Dropping that anime before I even watch it. I'd say..... no. EDIT: Nevermind, undropped. Still #SnKNumber1 |

| If it's as epic as Tengen Toppa Guren Lagann, it will probably reach the same popularity as SnK. It'll be a tough contender to beat. |

| It will be tough to beat the popularity of AOT, but may give it a run for anime of the year but dunno yet since only 1 ep is out. |
| I don't see that happening :/ I could see Kill La Kill being popular and such, but it won't surpass AoT AoT will still remain as 2013 Anime of the Year :) |
 |
| Too early to decide ... But if KLK went like TTGL and had 26 ep with lot's of Twists ,Epicness, Character development , a time skip , and Craziness... I think it would match AoT , but still far away from beating's it's popularity AoT is now considered like Death Note, A Must for any anime Watcher PLus : I have faith in KLK and it's Crazy Staff |
| If that's really their objective, I dunno. I never really consider over-the-top action animes and series that I can never take seriously as AoTYs, though. But yeah, I'm pretty sure that KLK is a series that caters more to experienced anime fans that know their tropes, whereas SnK doesn't really rely on its own tropes to appeal to its own fanbase, which is why its popularity is more widespread. Since they're different that way, I'd rather not compare them, though. |
| its too early to know since 1 episode is only out, but personally i doubt it will reach the popularity of SnK |
| Ok. After finishing the 1st episode of KLK and doing some snooping around, MAYBE as much popularity as SnK, Anime of the Year 2013 no. |
| SnK has a huge manga fandom, the anime hooked a lot of anime-only viewers. Kill La Kill is a nice treat, but makert-wise, too early to speak of success. I badly need a good story to match the superb visual gag and the action in Kill la Kill. |
| Both series had a lot of hype going into them, but how can you really judge them side by side? They have completely different art and style. The plot set-up is quite different... Kill la Kill looks like it will be a bit more episodic (judging from the preview for the next episode... it seems like it might have a bit of a "battle of the week" while unfolding some of the plot through each fight, etc. BUT it's too early to call that entirely). SnK is the complete opposite.. each episode is part of one story, and you can't tune in to any random episode without watching the rest. So much of this will be entirely based on personal preference. If you want to backtrack to a similar situation from several years ago, it's a bit like when Gurren Laggan came out around the same time as Code Geass R2 in so far as comparing character designs, art, style, etc. |
| Will it be famous? YES Surpass SnK? NO School settings with bullies are so overused and you can spot it a mile away that not only will it rely on generic type casting but also a lot of ecchi. The student body council rules with an iron fist... like I've never heard that before. |

The student body council rules with an iron fist... like I've never heard that before. I'm pretty sure they're aware of that, though. What Trigger's doing with it is making the generic setting they've taken into something bombastic and over-the-top that has effectively resulted into the majority of the viewers not giving a single damn of how cliche its premise is because the execution is explosive. That's why we've already discussed before that the fanbase of KLK is mostly focused on those who already know the tropes that KLK's put a twist on. It's not my cup of tea, as well, but I'm just arguing that Trigger knows their stuff and is implementing the 'generic' premise in it for a reason. |
| I'm pretty sure this anime will do well and be a big hit but I highly doubt it can make non anime watchers watch it like SnK did. Lets not kid ourselves here when the fact of the matter is that school settings are somewhat limited and tied down following a format we've seen countless times. KLK will have its compelling characters and their back stories and will have some memorable fight scene that would make us go "wow" but I highly doubt it make people crave for the next episode like SnK did. Fighting for survival against enemies that are bent on eating you into extinction has a heavier plot line than group of kids struggling against bullies. Here are a couple: Ikkitousen and Tenjou Tenge. There are more out there with similar settings and I don't see anything unique with this one. |

| Kill la Kill will definitely be an anime to remember this year and probably make it to most people's top 5 or even top 3 but surpassing Attack on Titan is an enormous stretch. Even reaching the same level as AoT is highly unlikely. Kill la Kill has a fair amount of hype surround it but AoT was ridiculously popular, almost everyone in the anime community was watching it. Unless Kill la Kill can reach the same level of quality and popularity as its predecessor Gurren Lagann then it won't beat Attack on Titan. |
| how about we wait for more than 1 episode of supposedly 24 episodes before we even consider either of those questions |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
