Kill la Kill ep.1

So yeah. That was pretty cool.

Oh, and of course

there's a vocal insert song for the climax of the fight. Based Sawano

 

[Necrovex]

How have you not seen Inferno Cop yet?

Because Crunchyroll doesn't have it. :-(

Kill la Kill 1

Anime is saved. The artstyle is fantastic. The outfit is orgiastic. Matoi is an awesome lead. The writing reminded me of a combination between FLCL and Gurren Lagann. If the quality remains static, this could be my AOTY. Best first episode of the year.

 

[fertygo]

Kill-la-Kill - 01

That very damn entertaining, the humor is fit to my taste.. that being said its doesn't live up to my expectation in production value (yet?) and the OST sucked. Its totally my thing to look in this season though.

 

[Gazoinks]

Kill la Kill 1

Hey, this is the first time I've simulcasted a show. Anyway, pretty much what I expected, which was awesome. 7TH was on the money when s/he said it felt more like FLCL than TTGL.

 

[LordCanti]

It definitely felt a lot like FLCL, which is to say that it was pretty much exactly what I wanted. I was a little bit worried that the sexyfuku would be a little over the top in the wrong way, but it was actually over the top in the right way. I'm in love with the art style, the voice acting is great, and....

It's been saved. Again!

 

[Yonafunu]

Kill la Kill is closer to FLCL episode 5 than to Gurren-Lagann, so far.

Spoiler

Which is actually really cool.

As if I wasn't hyped already, you guys had to go and include my favorite anime. I'm hyped beyond belief, but no way I'm watching this with delayed audio.

[Save 'N Quit]

maybe i should also post this here. i don't really know.
riot games animates neckbeard pro players mixed with in game characters to promote their upcoming world cup.

Looks cool.

But I couldn't help thinking that the moment the guys appeared, the designs and animation looked similar to The Boondocks.

Naruto Shippuden Episode 333 – The Risks of the Reanimation Jutsu

Song for the new OP (no.14) Size of Moon from Nogizaka46, sounds nice and has good coloring direction (the red and black and how they do it at the end), while the ED has a nice feel to it but has that amazing Sasuke focus and image. (Black Night Town - Akihisa Kond&#333.

Good episode for some action

Spoiler

Tsunade being impaled by the stone looked way more shocking here than in the manga

while the Kabuto, Sasuke, Itachi stuff served as a nice intro for next week.

Oh snap, new OP is here?

Hope its as good as the previous one.

magi getting the censors in taiwan.

So what's the uncensored version?

 

[7Th]

To be fair, most first episodes are good. Derails don't happen until later in the show; see: Star Driver.

Kill-La-Kill - 1

Hell yes. Right from the start this show has so much energy. So good.

Cannot wait to see that scissor become the scissor that busts through the heavens!

[dimb]

Really not seeing the similarities between Kill la Kill and FLCL. They are like polar opposites almost.

Kill la Kill was way too breakneck with its pace, and the battle sequence was kinda just lame. It lacked a good back and forth, and the rush through all the content to set things up made moments like finding the suit not really pop in the way that they should have.

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

So what's the uncensored version?

It's like FLCL in terms of the humor and the animation somewhat (not necessarily the look, but the style/fluidity when stuff pops off). The

when Naota finally "swung the bat" in FLCL.

Kill La Kill 1

Was only moderately hyped for this and it exceeded my expectations. It's wacky, off the wall, and very entertaining. I'm glad the series addresses the ridiculously skimpy outfit by having the main character [spoiiler]be super embarrassed when she has to wear it[/spoiler]

All in on this series

One of the things I was more meh about going into the show was Ryuuko's battle outfit, but I liked the way they handled her reaction to it.

No multihour delay this time is excellent. 2nd anime of mine on Saturdays (Ace of Diamond).

Is anime saved?

 

[jbug617]

So much shows I'm interested coming out today.

 

[MarkusRJR]

So many good shows this season. So pumped.

 

[Saprol]

[Infinite Stratos 2] 01

Charlotte and Laura focus for the first episode? Good start.

 

[fertygo]

Me too feeling Kill-la-Kill closer to FLCL than TTGL, especially for the animation.. much more focus to limited frame technique than actual animation.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Not even into one minute of Pokemon Origins and I'm already being swept away by the wave of nostalgia.

Light beams > Swedish road signs

They're both horrible.

In spite of the above comments, I actually sort of love Pikachu. He's too snuggly to ever truly hate.

True.

Still have the Pikachu doll that my mother won for me as a kid somewhere in my closet.

The thing is still soft as the day she brought it home.

Shes better than most IS girls.

She's better than England.

That's all I would agree with.

*sigh* Fine, here we go again.

http://strawpoll.me/499085

Surprised to see Char not winning.

Disappointed that people actually voted for worst girl.

.

Best Girl

I think England and China are the worst.

Rin isn't that bad.

I would actually place her in the middle of the pack right alongside Laura.

Kurumi doesn't really work in a maid outfit. Unless it's covered in blood.

To me they were completely different in terms of tone, setting, and theme. Kill la Kill presents this crazy world upfront and an equal absurd character tries to cut through that. It is set on a large scale in this abstract world and tends to stick to more abstract concepts like subjugation and obedience. FLCL is a very personal story that presents relatable themes in an ordinary town invaded by absurdity. It's dealing with stuff like complacency, coming of age, sibling rivalries, etc.

Even when it comes to action and presentation Kill la Kill is always focused on conflict. FLCL is often purposefully meandering with brief and intense punctuations of action.

The humor about the

was very much in the same vein as FLCL. It was like "Oh, yeah, he got

FLCL is not really like this at all...

Bit early to call that after, what, two days? It may well be true, but even so.

This is way goofier than I expected. Genuinely got a couple of laughs out of me. Action is top-notch, too. I'm excited to see more.

They're going in hard. Even had swimsuits at the end.

There were butts, tummies, underboobs, and well-animated nonsense and it was awesome.

Kill la Kill 1

Well that was over the top as fuck. Some wacky yet limiting framework being done here, but there was a lot going on to the point that it felt longer than a standard TV episode, but i guess the lack of an OP does that to you.

Spoiler

And I wouldn't mind skimping on OPs considering I only watch them once unless I'm enamored with it.

Good to see Matoi isn't very fond of her skimpy suit. It's kind of weird in that it tries to skirt away from giving you the "views" of panties, but it's fine with the underboob at least. We did get one shot of the underoos though, but that better not be a damn "It's actually a leotard" excuse.

Great way to kick off the show. I'm on board for real.

Well that was definitely something. The framing and the artistic choices were interesting too.

Thats true lol. Kurumi would look amazing blood soaked like a proper yandere.
