| Pretty nice episode. It wasn't really surprising the life fibers origin is from space though |
| This episode was interesting, it gives us some nice background, but the best of it all it places new conflicts for Ryuko and Senketsu, what's more Ragyo expesses how badass is she. And the best of it all NEW FREAKING OPENING AT LAST!!! I loved it, and it is amazing how Ragyo just menacingly evil even if she shines rainbows. |
 |
| If only all recap episodes could end in the span of 90 seconds... New OP/ED were nice and of course, dat bath scene. Nui's whole "You're the only one who understands me" bit made me think she's the deranged Mako-equivalent for Satsuki. |

ashlelouch said: Ami Koshimizu is a really fucking great VA. Though I can't really understand why she got so upset, Ryuko's rage scene was great. She was projecting her own feelings on Senketsu; they just told her that she HAS to save the world and there is literally no way out. She feels as if her father betrayed her bcause she was just raised to serve as Nudist Beach's weapon. |
 |
| God that bath scene is in my top 10 best anime moments,what a legit way to fanservice. Didnt think much of klk as of this episode,it trully had amazing execution. |
 |
| Wow........that mom and daughter time...... I only have this to say about the big reveal involving the life fibers....  |
 |
| Wow, I almost got trolled by the recap thing. The alien revelation is ridiculous and crazy but I guess it's believable. :P And Ryuko is resilient to life fiber? what? That bath house scene though *nosebleed* |
| pew pew pew |
| I'm amazed . Opening song : Purely epic . The episode : The best so far . We get to learn of Life Fibers and dat bathroom scene , *__* However , the ending was lame . 5/5 for the episode , 5/5 for the opening and 2/5 for the ending . |
| Quite a bit going on here, it's less and less taking the Gurren Lagann route that most people, including myself, predicted, in terms of how the story is released, but plot wise, it's still on track. I fully expect Kiryuin to betray her mother and the world as a secret hero at the festival, which is why she was so desperate to amass an army of students and right hand men and women to fight for her under her banner and her banner only. I personally believe that she's super pleased with Ryuuko's growth because, hell, why wouldn't you? If your goal was to take out the world, and there's a person with equal strength who also doesn't like ho things are run. On another note... Ancient Aliens. |
| We get the truth about the life fibers. Liking the new OP. |
 |
| Oh. My. GOD. THIS EPISODE WAS TOO AWESOME. THIS NEW OP THIS YURICEST???!!!! THOSE OST THIS PLOT THIS RECAP OH MY GOD |
 |
| I thought the bath scene was a bit too much, honestly. (before I go on I would just like to say that I understand that everyone is different and by that fact everyone has different appreciations, opinions, and tolerances for different things. And most importantly it is just a cartoon, no one is really getting abused.) So far I've been enjoying the level of fan service in this show. It's absurd and extreme and I loved that about it. I also like how it plays in thematically with the show. However, this weeks episode really caught me off-guard and crossed a line I didn't think Kill la Kill was going to cross. I don't know, I want to keep watching (and I probably will), but after this weeks episode the shows innocence has definitely been tarnished. Everything leading up to this had been fun for the most part. The over-the-top transformations, the ridiculous jiggling, and even those crazy in your face crotch shots I felt like I could attribute to the more comedic elements of the show. But this one was different, it was darker, more erotic, and just a tad rapey-er than anything this show has done before. I really don't want to see Kill la Kill slowly turn from "an irreverent, daring to be controversial anime" into "a decent Hentai with some interesting themes" |

| New OST album whennnn. Also, yeah, that bath scene was not sexy. It was clearly shown as a traumatizing experience for Satsuki. |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| The great culture and sports festival, I think ragyo will fight satsuki's army with some of her forces so she can test satsuki's strenght under the guise it's a festival then ryuko comes in. |
 |
MyLonesomeCowboy said: I thought the bath scene was a bit too much, honestly. I understand where you are coming from, but I think the show really wanted to drive the point home that Satsuki and her mom's relationship is DEFINITELY not normal, as well as the fact that Ragyo is creepy as fuck. |
| Powerful eyebrows. |
| That new OP kinda gave me the chills. Also, the bath scene was really uncomfortable. |
sentience said: Ha ha ha, stupidity going away? unbelievable one? I never saw nothing so predictable as that whole: "the prime minister is the real boss". I still think that flamenco is full of stupidity, but I like it anyway, still, I would love If they got back to how they were on the first episodes. NOw to KLK. WHY THE HELL THEY DIDN"t used that OP first? It's amazing, also. I luv ragyo.ShirayukiSumire said: The Life Fibers are aliens from space feeding on humans? Trigger doesn't disappoint me. If that's true that is pretty big and that is why Senketsu was so shocked too. (Gosh what with the huge plot twists today, Samurai Flamenco also had an unbelievable one with the stupidity gone away.) |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
| Junketsu looks so creepy in the opening when compared to Senketsu, almost like a spider or something. Well it is an alien after all... |
vilmarbf said: Spoiler tag please. This is a KLK thread. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| interesting take on the episode (not my expressed opinion) "The true plot is no unveiled and it turns out it is Chrono Trigger. The Original Life FIber is Lavos, Ragyo is Queen Zeal, Satsuki is Magus and Nui is Dalton." http://chrono.wikia.com/wiki/Lavos |
| The soundtrack this episode was great, but I don't really care about the opening theme, I didn't like the first one either, but I like the animation sequences. I liked the ending theme, but it felt a bit out of place with the anime. Dat "purification" scene lol. The scene at the end was interesting and it was funny when Mako tried to calm them down. |
 |
| Recap portion was good and the new intro is better than the last one but the series remains disappointing in my eyes ... |
| Amazing episode. A bit of incest and a bit of nudity. Ryuko stripping and that stupid light between the legs of the members of Nudist Beach, truly amazing. |
 |
| So that's what they meant when they said that the second part would be much darker .. I'm liking the turn this is taking, less fighting leaves more place for plot, which is always good. The soundtrack is getting better and better. I was a bit hopeless for KlK but now I can see it becoming much more interesting now. Rage-y Ryuuko : http://i.imgur.com/HnMC62J.gif |

| So so good as usual. I'm sure this will be talked about because of Satsuki and her mom (which I agree with a previous poster, it was unnerving) but the reveal met expectations. I mean, aliens, I will love anything because aliens and in KLK it's that much better. Interesting world building. Last time it was the school trip and coming up is the sports and cultural festival...KLK making the high school concept fresh again. |

| Great episode, finally some explanation - a big one :) That hyped me to watch this further, it seems that with bunkasai, it is getting a lot more interesting. |
| This was clearly one of the better episodes, though, I already suspected plenty of it. A hoard of exposition is dropped but it was presented both in humorous and dramatic ways - contrasting tones for severe mood whiplash. I believe the (sound) direction and Satsuki + Kiryuin family interactions were the highlights. I also understood where Ryuuko was coming from at the end, but she seemed naive and a bit dumb to me. The sentiment that this is coming a little too late in the show ("breakneck pacing") and Kill la Kill is a disappointment is something I share, though. |

| Really good episode, that explanation cleared up most of my questions. Still Ryuko's reasoning doesn't make that much sense :/. |
| "As you can see, being in a group brings no advantages to the individual. Thus, I choose to be the bear, a beast that refuses to form groups with others. It’s an animal of isolation that’s not at all worried about its solitary lifestyle. Let’s not forget that bears get to hibernate as well. Oh, what a wonderful existence. If I’m ever reincarnated, I most certainly would like to be reborn as a bear." |
| The boner...I mean bath, bath scene was pretty awesome. And the theme song is damn good! |
 "Only the dead have seen the end of war". ~Plato~ |
| Speed recap. Mother daughter skinship in bath, Interesting. way too many nude guys. Then they add boy, girl, boy, girl. :) Aliens! Sure why not. weird history lesson. Then she strips. Good show. Need to look up music for skinship. |
| Damn that's how you do a recap in less that minute and a half. Crazy episode, and stuff escalated pretty quickly at the end. Dat teacher was too fabulous is all of dem outfits. New OP is quite nice, ED is ok. |
 |
| Great episode. Loving the new op and ed. Answered a lot of questions. Always good to see Ryuuko get pissed and stare death right in the face. Can't wait for the next episode. Dat bath scene. |
 |
| Yep, It's always aliens. Also dat bath scene. Faptastic/5. |
| And the plot thickens! Aliens huh? Fine by me, at this point I'll accept anything :) I want to learn how to make my nipples and crotch glow pink!!! |
| I loved that recaping scene though XDD |
| That was the best recap I've ever seen. |
| As always. Kill la Kill is completely unorthodox and is going where no anime has before. There are shows about clothes, yeah, but never shows about clothes being sentient beings with powers to take over the human race. Ragyo's not going to stop with just touching her daughter. I bet next week's episodes going to end with her activating the life fibers in all REVOCS clothing. 5/5 Especially for the amazing new opening sequence (even though the first one was great). |
Notchrishansen said: BRSxIgnition said: Notchrishansen said: Course, because you know.. You can totally understand an episode that is 80% talking without subs.Aliens are the big twist and yurishit..I hoped that this ep would change the status of this anime from dropped to watching...nope. Save your hate until you know what they said, or get out. If it's dropped, you don't need to be posting here. So, we can say how much we love the series but we can't express distaste and disappointment. I'll just read this sypnosis because I've seen enough...enjoy the series, folks. Wow? This was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen? it's like a grown man going into the kids section and complaining about how their are no clothes for grown men in there... If you don't like the series, just stop watching. You "dropped" it, right? So, feel what you want, but keep it away from all the people who love it a lot. |
| When they said it was gonna be a recap I wanted to watch the episode later, but it went way too fast to be an actual recap, dem trolls. Nice episode, rather surprised with the plot, has some genuinely clever stuff sometimes. ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ |
