So, let us have a better look at Kill La Kill, the first thing that will go across your mind during the first half of the first episode is “What the f*ck?” The second part will make you go “Yay boobies!” (but then again, there is always a lot happening around, so you really won't be able to focus too much on the fan-service) and then the show becomes a mix of both, with lots of really good fights, comic moments, epic schools, sentient clothes, people having oceanic amounts of blood, and what not? (As I mentioned before, WTF?!)
KLK is something else entirely
Ok, so let’s make an average of my scores,
Animation – 8/10
The animation is superb! The animation is well….different, one must watch it to see what I mean, because it can’t well be described in words the main factor that made me think this show and its creators are high. It is a mix of fluid animation, not so fluid animation, comic scenes, good fights all meshed in together in a coherent fashion, the animation is much more….err….cartoon-ish, which by no means is bad. I’m kinda running out of words here to describe the animation, but know it is good in its own unique way and in all pleasing to the eye.
Characters – 9/10
Another one of the shows strong points, the characters are really well-done, from the lovable idiot Mankanshoku and her comic family, to the overly serious President Satsuki, her elite four squadron, and of course the main character, Ryuuko Matoi. They all have decent back-story, and JUST enough to really make you like, empathize or feel at ease with them. I won’t divulge further into the characters, as the characters and their relations and developments are one of the primary settings to this anime.
Story – 7/10
The story is pretty ordinary, a girl seeking revenge for her father’s death so she goes to a school which may have answers the mystery. However the way the animation, characters and in some cases dialogues are nicely wrapped around this story is what makes it unique in its own terms. There is not much here I can say about the story.
Dialogue - 7/10
The dialogue isn't really that impressive. No thought-provoking, goosebumps inducing, high dialogues, just the regular things a show would use for dialogues, though there are different ways of how clothes can be looked at are presented.
My rating as a whole on it would be - 7.75, rounded to an 8.0,
KLK presents obviously un-serious things in the most serious and cocksure way possible and I have thoroughly enjoyed what Trigger has offered.
