Why did I drop it? Because it is boring. Unbearably boring.
I guess I should have seen it coming, since it's an ecchi. So there's going to be big anime tiddies and gratuitous fanservice. But the thing is, Kill la Kill is also an ecchi, and KlK is fucking awesome.
So what does KlK do right that this show does so horribly, horribly wrong? I'm not completely sure, probably because it's been so long since I last attempted to watch it, but there are things in this show that irked me from the first episode.
First of all, nothing ever happens. From the first episode, we're introduced to this impossibly clumsy protagonist, who always manages to fall onto random women, with his face ending up in either their crotches or their big anime tiddies. Then the girl screams and Johnny Bravo's him, and he feels embarrassed until the alien girl (can't even bother to remember her name. Lala?) bursts into the room with some insane shenanigans that either blows up the area or results in an alien coming to challenge the guy for her hand in marriage, despite the fact that she is completely head over heels for the protagonist and will obviously not go for the challenger no matter how badly they kick the protagonist's ass, either because she's a rebel or because she's eccentric, I don't remember. This happens EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE. It's ridiculous.
I feel like this show has an element of tongue-in-cheek to it, like it's not taking itself seriously, but at the same time, I feel like they got the execution completely wrong, so it ends up being boring instead of funny. I only managed to put up with 15 episodes before I dropped it.
oh...that was like two things...
I also put some comments on my list entry. I usually do this for the REALLY good/bad shows as a "note to self" in case I forgot why my opinion was so extreme. If that makes any sense. I feel like my fresh commentary from the time will help. Maybe. Here's what I wrote:
"It took me 7 months to watch 15 episodes. This show is so boring that I just can't do it. Every episode is the same. Here's the formula: protagonist slips on a banana peel and falls into one of his classmates' vaginae. An alien comes from another planet to either kill/marry/rape/strip the protagonist/lala, the alien princess who fell in love with him out of boredom because she fell naked into his bathtub from space.
If that sounded like the plot to a porno, that's because it is. They just pussed out of going all the way and as a result this is horrible both as a show, and as a hentai.
Fail."
Oh yeah, there's also a girl the protagonist has a crush on. I don't remember her name. she's the purple haired girl in the top left of the cover art.
But nobody gives a fu
