I don't know about that, there were plans for another season but it got canned, I think. I really wanted another season based on this art, would have been killer.
Wha? Really? I thought it was Gainax being Gainax.
Oh wow, never saw that art before. I had heard some people talking about how
Scanty and Kneesocks were going to be the main protagonists of a potential second season.
Unfortunate that a second season's most likely not going to happen; I did enjoy P&S. The extreme vulgarity and the art's general crudeness made me not mind what fanservice was in that show as much as how it's handled in Kill la Kill (and I don't think there was actually very much of it in P&S outside of the transformation scenes).
I'm sticking with Kill la Kill for now, but I don't have high hopes that the story will turn out to be anything special.
A second season isn't happening anymore, I know that much for sure. And yeah, in that show it was very hard to really call any of what was going on fan service. This show does toy around with that idea, even though it's not as well presented as in P&S.
this part was super fucking adorable, made me smile
this series isn't for you
Why not? Is fanservice the only thing this series has going for it?

Certainly not, but I can't imagine it'll be going anywhere, considering its prevalence in the first two episodes. If it bugs you pretty bad, chances are it'll affect your enjoyment the whole way through.
Sure, but it's not like one can't enjoy a series despite certain shortcomings they might have with it.
a) no
b) the series is fairly clear about what it is/wants to be, and the "fan service" is going nowhere. if it bothers you, then it's gonna keep bothering you. probably more as the series goes on.
c) poster I quoted said:
if it bothers them to the degree that they have to consider whether or not they want to watch more episodes, then they shouldn't go on.

I can understand why someone would have complaints about the fanservice but the show is what it is.
You're going to have to decide whether or not the faults you find in the show are enough to dissuade you from watching it.
Personally I think I can appreciate the direction they are trying to go in, and hopefully whatever turns they decide to take as well.

The problem is overall, I really liked everything else. I just do not like this particular level of pandering. I do not have issue with reasonable levels of fan-service. It's just when it is used so blatantly and unrealistically it annoys me.
I like the attitude of the show and main character.
I like the crazy action and eccentric style.
I do not like fanservice that so defies realty that it makes me feel like I'm watching "High School of the Dead".
Ghost in the Shell almost had the same problem, but at least Motoko has a crazy cyborg body. I just dislike how the mc gets a stripperiffic outfit to fight in, when the other "Goku uniforms" clearly display their power with sheer size and strength. The boxer got huge ass gloves he could block attacks with as well as dishing some out himself. Ryuko got what? Basically nothing besides "the power of sexy".
I liked how she had the guts to fight them without the "cheat" of special uniform powers, but once she used it, it felt just too weird.

R, I want to like it, and I do like pretty much everything, but why can't they just keep Ryuko cool?

I finally watched both episodes of this , seeing as it's free to watch on that aniplex channel. Is there anywhere I can watch it in HD though ? the stream is in SD and the art in this show is amazing just like every other Imaishi show.
RE: Cutey Honey, Gurren Lagan and most recently Panty &stocking are some of the only animes in the last decade I've genuinely loved and Kill La Kill seems to continue that trend so far.
Don't know what else to say about this besides that. I liked it. I will continue to watch it.

Daisuki has a pretty good stream, not sure it's HD,

is it me or where there some flash animation level visuals mixed in?
Crunchyroll is probably your best option.
When sensei is disrobing mostly? I think that choice was intentional. Everything else is so high quality that it's hard to believe they couldn't have carried it through to scenes like that if they had wanted.
It is for Monogatari, so I'd hope it would be for KLK. Both streams are pretty compressed though, even if you're paying for crunchy (which kind of bummed me out. KLK looked great, but some other shows were macroblock city. I won't pay for this when the trial is up as long as Daisuki's stream is fine).
There's definitely some still shot level animation throughout the episodes.
Hulu and Crunchyroll have it.
The way I see it it's basically a case of them playing their limited budget for laughs. i.e. they could just cut corners and hope no one notices, but instead they elected to point it out and turn it into a joke, which I like.
Has anyone watched KLK 2 on Daisuki? Ep 1 had sound problems, and I'm hoping 2 is fixeded.
Yeah, but Stupid Sexy Aikuro isn't as alliterative.
He's a sensei though, so calling him sensei is a-ok. Mostly it just makes Stupid Sexy Sensei funnier though.

I've had no problems with either episode of KLK on Daisuki.
I've fed the display of my laptop over HDMI to my TV, no idea if that makes a difference.
Oh, good to hear. Must've just been a temporary problem, then.
Yeah, I think I saw on their twitter that they had reuploaded E1. They're prone to some problems (audio, subs missing, etc) but they're completely free and pretty much as fast as CR (I still need to find out exactly how far off they are).
Also, they sent me a prize from one of their raffles. That makes them good people in my book. Not good enough that I won't point out the growing pains they've had of course, but still.
With Kill La Kill at least, they were pretty much simultaneous with Crunchy. As long as the problems are acknowledged and fixed, it's all good.

In terms of the OP and ED I find it's the same as it was like with Gurren Lagann. By that I mean I really like the OP for Kill la Kill but I feel lukewarm towards the ED.
Pretty much simultaneous is good enough for me. They always do acknowledge their mistakes, although one particular one (subs not being on an episode of Monogatari) took a bit longer than I'd have liked. They're all based in Japan though, so it may have been the middle of the night when it went up or something, which would explain the delay.
If only they could hire an American who was willing to check their streams in real time and interface with the community. If only...if only....

LOL, nice catch! With everything going on in most of the scenes I did not see it till now.
Same here. I love when they make stuff like that part of the moment.
After the opening I expected some super long and elaborate transformation scene ala sailor moon and then came this:
lol, I'm in love with this show.
LOL yeah. Like someone else said earlier, it's fantastic how expressive and dynamic the visuals are in Imaishi shows, the expressions, stuff like this etc, love it.
Everytime I see this, YES! It's awesome that this show is getting 20+ eps and not just 12-13.

I consider Kotaku like a Fox news fan blog of video games and stuff. Think about this closely for a second folks. As if Fox news isn't bad enough, just imagine a fan blog of it. On top of that, think about the caste system in india. Got it? Incorporate that into the blog. You got Kotaku
The fuck... P&S second season got canned? I'm gonna cry myself to sleep now.

I know I probably am not the only one getting these vibes, but does anyone else think that
Spoiler just in case
Ryuko Matoi and Satsuki Kiryuin are quite possibly half sisters?

I'm going for Satsuki is actually a boy, and will be the main love interest later in the series.
EDIT: Fuck she has boobies Ah well. I hope that's a Kamina level twist somewhere in the future.

Should have gone with Satsuki's later design.

Who's to say she still won't be the love interest? They haven't touched on sexuality at all.
Just watched the 1+2 episodes of this anime and let me tell you something.
In the beginning i was thinking to myself :"WTF AM I WATCHING ?!" but the moment i got the track of things i got mind explosions! The order of events are so fast so you can't take your eyes off the screen !
Good anime! Can't see what they are going to do with that

Episode 3 was screened today in Japan; people were asked to not post spoilers online, but they are hyping it a lot. Animation is supposedly insane, the story goes to places people weren't expecting before the final episode and
it was pretty much confirmed that the show won't be episodic or "monster of the week-ish" at all.

Why is this not available in my region on crunchyroll? Argh
Hulu brah.
Also, I've become a major fan of this show, everything it does fills me with utter joy.
Have you tried daisuki?
Here's a list of which services are streaming it in which countries:
