| Not this again.... The fanservice is absolutely ridiculous because it was meant to be, this show does not hold back and doesn't try to pretend to be deeper than it actually is. And when it comes down to it, there are many shows with even more fanservice that at times tries to take itself seriously (Highschool of the Dead) which is even worse. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Why do people always have to complain about fanservice? I don't se whats wrong with panty shots and big boobs (unless you find them disgusting/ugly for some odd reason). If you think a show lacks other things such as a good plot / seriousness, then complain about those things instead -.- Edit: Actually... I think I'll make my own thread for this |
| I see people are still using "its not taking itself seriously and the show is self aware of how ridiculous the fanservice is" excuse. I personally disagree with you guys. The fact this show is self aware of how dumb the fanservice is makes it even worse. Why? Because thats the main reason why characters are constantly throwing all those " OMG you are a pervert" lines which are completly cringe worthy and lets not forget how cliche and overused this line is in anime as well. |

| The fanservice doesn't bother me as much as the cheap animation does - and that one there's no "it doesn't take itself seriously" excuse for. |
 |
| So what if KLK gives fan service? A lot of other anime offers it too. Can't we just enjoy the actual story without complaining about the fan service? :/ |
| lmfao |
| Doesn't bother me, the show is fun to watch and that's that. |
 |
| Aside from the main appeal of fan service I feel like its inclusion in this series serves to create a very interesting dichotomy regarding the split society presented in KLK: On the one side student council president Satsuki Kiryuuin, reserved, buttoned-up to the neck and worshipped like a goddess by her underlings, on the other side low-status transfer student Ryuuko Matoi, hot-blooded and seeking shelter at what Satsuki refers to as pigs in human clothing who are accordingly guided by their libido and carnal desire (Mako's brother and father both display this characteristic despite being presented as sympathetic characters otherwise). In order to fulfill her desire for revenge Ryuuko forms a pact with Senketsu, a blood-sucking demonic being without hesitation, to gain power even if it means to publicly expose and humiliate herself in front of her enemies (which advantages are that her opponents underestimate her or even get distracted by the amount of bare skin), displaying a lurid and obscene, a truly demonic (notice the horns on her head) image of herself. She wittingly accepts degrading herself, exposing herself to the perpetuat male gaze and the corresponding sexual harassment. All that creates a vast discrepancy between the two parties in this long-period battle, the uptight, militaritc elite and the huddled, sensation-seeking masses. Something that I believe is intentional on the producers' side. |

| Fanservice doesn't bother me much. At least in this show. It's just fun to watch right now. We'll see what happens though. |

| Gainax and Trigger is pretty much all fanservice. And it doesn't hide that at all, because it is the best kind of fanservice that's just a real pleasure to watch. Having said that, I honestly haven't seen Kill la Kill yet in particular. Will be waiting until it's finished. |

Are we watching the same series? Look at this: http://imgur.com/a/SEKI7 That's all just from episode 1! Still images don't show animation, I didn't criticize the art. |

| Are you serious!? You dropped it because of THAT? I'll be taking away your Man card now. |

| I can honestly say that the ass and titties just make it more entertaining, if you are too beta for ecchi, then go watch something else. |

Will be waiting until it's finished. It doesn't suck and - more importantly - it isn't unexpected. In fact, most of the idiots trying to make it "better" by imagining Ryuuko with more clothes on actually make it worse when it comes to fanservice, which shows the asinine bigotry of the whole debate. Also, think about the two episodes out so far, and try to imagine them without Ryuuko's outfit. Which also means without all the gags and scenes related to said fanservice: You'll probably notice that there wouldn't be much left. The first two episodes would be ten minutes each, and quite generic and boring. |

| The two cats screwing on the roof was disgraceful neko fanservice~ I really don't know what you complainers were expecting though, just look at the guys past work. I guess it's because so many people hyped this pre-season that we have so many pussies crying about this. I personally think the fanservice is rather well done and I'm not a fan of fanservice usually either. |

| The funny thing I noticed is that the fanservice in this show is actually mocking and making fun of fanservice in anime in general. In many anime, video games, etc., women can get away with wearing the skimpiest outfits and literally no one cares. In MMOs, dress yourself as a skimpy elf woman with barely any body armor and the NPCs don't question your outfit at all. In addition, most anime girls don't care wearing barely anything at all, even to battle. But in Kill la Kill, Ryuuko is visibly embarassed to wear Senketsu and wears a perpetual blush on her face, constantly bringing up the point that she's only wearing it "because she has to." And it's true, she needs to suit to power up and defeat her enemies. Furthermore, the other characters don't just treat Ryuuko's armor as something normal and acceptable. No, during the tennis match the audience ogled and drooled over the revealing outfit in the most blatant way. There are no archetypal male anime characters that are annoyed or just dead ignorant of the boobs and panty shots around them. This is how Kill la Kill treats its fanservice, not so much as something to make its viewers horny, but to make a snark statement about fanservice as a whole. |

| I reckon its a bit too over the top, espc with all teh shots on episode 2. It's not a dealbreaker but I can see where you are coming from. |
| I don't see how the boobs and such in this show are 'fan service'. doesn't 'fan service' imply that it has no place in the show? that it's unnecessary? it's just part of the comedy. if you don't like seeing this stuff in shows you can not watch it, but don't try to claim it takes away from/doesn't fit in the show. this may have been said already, I didn't read the other comments.. |

And no I didn't claim that Kill la Kill was revolutionary with how they depicted fanservice, but simply how it's different from, say, your run-of-the-mill ecchi anime. And more importantly, why the fanservice isn't such a problem as haters make it out to be. |
| Powerful eyebrows. |
| My only problem with it is that the tits and asses and all prevent me from being able to freely watch this anime in public or around non-anime friends, even if all I wanted to enjoy was the crazy action. |
| i think the fan service is really unnecessary. |
| i quited klk because of the echii -.- |

| Kill la Kill has fanservice? |
 |
| yes and it sucks |
 |
| I'm a girl and I usually really dislike fanservice in anime. But in Kill la Kill, it just doesn't feel like fanservice to me at all. I mean, yes, they're basically naked, but it's not like in most other anime where you have all those cute helpless girls with giant breasts licking lollipops, wind blowing to lift a girl's skirt to show her panties and other cliches. These show's like: f*ck that, we're doing it our way! I think it's kind of meant to show how ridiculous fanservice can get. Anyway, it's certainly not a reason to drop the show. Btw, for anyone calling this ecchi, it's not. Ecchi and fanservice are not the same thing. |
| Let me just copy+paste what I posted on another forum and... Despite the dearth of fabric, the outfit manages to incorporate the following fetishes: >Skin-tight bodysuit >Heels >Stockings >Garter-belts >Includes underboobs (physically impossible in the real world except on the equator during a lunar eclipse) >The skirt is shorter than her underwear. Let that sink in. >In addition, while the outfit includes a permanent pantie-shot from the front, she isn't wearing anything in back. >It's still a school uniform. Seriously, look again, the back and shoulders look like a standard anime girls' uniform. You still with me? Now we've reached the most important part. Remember what Senketsu's power is? Anyone? Anyone? That's right, it's an impenetrable defense. An impenetrable defense. That """""""armor""""""" (epic air-quotes) forms an impenetrable defense. If there was some pathetic attempt at self-justification like "the armor increases her speed, that's why it's so skimpy" I would have dropped Kill la Kill in a millisecond. But that's not what they did. There's only one power a uniform made of two scraps of cloth and piece of tinfoil could possibly have: to protect the wearer from all harm. It's not merely a lack of justification, it's a refusal to justify their choices. My conclusion I'll copy+paste from my blog: All this comes together to create a design far too overwrought to be called "sexy", but that doesn't stumble into the grotesque and somehow fails to be "degrading". It's nothing but raw absurdity. In other words, it's hilarious. Because as should have been obvious from the very first frame, Kill la Kill - just like Gurren Lagann before it - isn't a condemnation of the elements it incorporates but rather a celebration: a wild outburst of passion and sincerity with at least as much self-worth and self-confidence as what it gently mocks, created by someone who has discovered the cogs of trope and cliche behind stories and - instead of rejecting them - waves them over his head, boldly proclaiming their existence. In short it is - to borrow some phraseology from NisiOisiN - a fake more real than the original. |
| The nudity in the show is so excessive it sort of hits the level of being played for laughs rather than fanservice. A healthy mix of both though. Could have gone with some less but it's lampshaded well enough. Not a fanservice person myself but in this case I feel it's all part of the craziness of it rather than pure, dumb titillation, so I'm good. |
