All that truly matters
To be honest the way they're having to handle her is almost like how a lot of comic writers have to deal with Superman. They've made her almost like a god, so they have to throw psychological/emotional drama in order to create conflict that throws her off course. Annoying, but it is what it is. Plus it's also about that slow burn to total victory, which won't happen for a few more episodes.

I don't think that was fan service. Stuff earlier in the series certainly was, but Ragyo doing that to Satsuki certainly is not fanservice unless someone is into child molestation. It was really uncomfortable, just like all of the other times Ragyo did something creepy.
I really appreciate how this week's episode addressed the problem I've been having with a lot of the supporting characters. They are interesting in concept, but haven't been really used much nor do they really feel like they were really characters of their own accord instead of just Satsuki's support crew. Here we get to see them operate without direct orders and have more ownership over their actions. I think it was something the show really needed before it moves firmly into the final stretch. The direction was fairly good too, consider how this was a super cheap episode. Some nice layouts and visuals even without a lot of animation.
Mako x Gamagori OTP for real. Lol. So sweet. <3

At the end of the day, its still an adult woman groping and fingering another adult woman. I don't see how thats not fanservice.
It wasn't presented in an arousing way, it was presented in a very uncomfortable way. How is that fanservice? Fanservice is supposed to arouse the viewer.
It certainly was creepy. Fine, fan service might not be the right term.
It was definitely presented in a sensual route. As to whether you found that uncomfortable, that's mostly on you as the viewer.
That's what I find kind of interesting, you have what is presented on screen and the tone that it takes and the obvious dissonance of these two elements walking the line between sensual and disturbing.

People are always quick to shout fanservice when it comes to anime but I guess the medium hasn't exactly done its best to shake off this image.
Kill la Kill Episode 19:
Really glad this series has righted itself in these latter stages.

Wasn't expecting the time skip, but hey it was used to advance the story, which puts it over Sword Art Online's abuse of storytelling. At any rate, Satsuki's rebellion has failed, her empire absorbed by COVERS, her forces scattered and now she is an abused prisoner. Also, yea, the groping and spanking is not fanservice. It is rather apparent that this is a very warped take on motherly affection and is designed to make us feel squiky. Also, Ragyo is the villain, trashing the morality of the villain of a work kind of misses the point of this situation. Anyway, Ryuko spends most of the episode in traction until she wakes up pissed at all the racket. You know what, for fuck sakes we are going to do this Ryuko won't wear Senkestu bullshit again??? Also, everybody this episode seemed to be talking in the language of exposition and that needs to stop now. Also, I see the shipping wars are getting stronger. Glad Nonnon called Ira out on that, I like her deadpan snarking. I suppose this also clears the way for Nonon-Satsuki now as well.
well, with that sad song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ilafh5cnLNQ in the ost, I theorize that
satsuki
satsuki
will probably die by sacrificing herself
You think that wasn't supposed to arouse the viewers? This isn't a seinen... it's aimed at horny teenagers and people in the early twenties. That is 100% fanservice.

Having the villain not be over the top crack piped insane at that particular moment helps.
Great episode despite not being as jaw dropping as the last two. Some highlights:
And the story just keeps moving forward at a consistent pace! Really enjoying it.
- Mako being eaten by a Cover and Gama's attempt to rescue her ;_;
- Elite 4 Nudist Beach outfits. Especially dat Nonon.
- Sanageyama evacuating his old home. Definitely a good character moment for him.
- Mako's mom taking a peek at Aikuro whenever she could.
- Senketsu being comforted by Mako's mom. Just a whole lot of best mom moments.
- Gamagoori promising Mataro that he would rescue her sister ;_;
- The reforging of Satsuki's sword into two weapons was very cool. Nice to see it wasn't just forgotten.
- The rescue of Mako and Gama's reaction to her nudity were hilarious. OTP is officially confirmed now.
- Gamagoori being slightly disappointed when Ryuuko kills all the covers and rescues people at the same time, due to his new weapon being defunct. It's ok Gama, you rescued Mako and that's all that counts!

Doesn't she hear the woman who keeps telling her not to?
Meanwhile Satsuki is about
Fucking Ryuko.
If they actually start hearing the bgm, I'll be all like
Gamagori is the only true pairing, breh.
to break out of the cage with a metal toenail.

maybe Makos Bi
then everyone wins
i fully expect a song to help Ryuuko find her way again curtesy of Mako
Threesomes solve everything.
She really is. Should have killed her off long ago. Worst character of the show.
Such an awful lead.
I wonder if we'll get some nonsense like if they kill the Life Fibers, they kill Ragyo and Ryuuko ala Anti-Spiral/Nia.
I could not say at this point. All I know is we have YET ANOTHER episode of Ryuko angsting ahead of us.
